        • Got the 10000km service done.

          Fitted up the water watch water trap which I removed from the Patrol. Simply bought the bracket and a bit of hose and it all went straight in. I'm heading west in a few weeks and this will provide a little extra comfort when refuelling. For those not familiar with the water watch, here is their website. http://www.waterindiesel.com.au/6308/

          I have no affiliation with them, I'm just a happy customer.

            Hey Spike, Just wondering how long they took you to fit?? and whether you needed to put it up on ramps to get enough clearance underneath?

            • I have a trolley jack and two axle stands so probs 400mm extra height.
              I wasn't in a rush and the centre piece had wrong hole centres by 5 mm
              I hadn't been under the truck before so I had a good look whilst under
              21/2 hours from opening the box and washing up.
              Certainly look strong.

                • Give underneath a wash before you start and let it dry off, nothing worse than mud and dirt falling on you and into your eyes while you are under the car. I fitted the TJM plates to mine (Christmas present from #1) and they took several days! Actually one plate was bent incorrectly so it went on then off then back to TJM but the job itself takes a couple of hours and I didn't need to jack up the Prado. Had an extra set of hands once or twice.

                  • HID Hi and Lo

                    Installed some HID Hi and Low beam kits today.

                    Just bought some cheap Ebay ones to see how they would go. They cost me less than $60 posted for both pairs of Hi and low. Almost less than a set of halogen bulbs! I got 55w 5000k bulbs.

                    Ballasts were quite compact and I checked them on the bench before install. All seemed OK. I installed and checked them prior to tiding up the wiring. All good with no errors or warning lights. Fingers crossed that they work for at least a few months. Having said that I have a $50 set of HID lamps in the work ute that have been flawless for over 4 years now.

                    Still waiting for some LED park lights to arrive. You can definitely tell the color difference.

                        • Another run up to Bribie on Sunday, because we can! 24'C and not a cloud in the sky or any wind....gotta love a Queensland winter! And before anyone mentions the fact the awning is shading the car, we had been there for hours and I just couldn't be bothered moving the rig!!!
                          This was followed by a very long clean up today!
