    What did you do on your 70 series today?

    Contact them through their website as I can confirm they have a product where all the bolt holes to chassis fit pre 99 on my MWB 85 but as Joe suspects it’s the H55 rear trans drain plug access point in the plate that I needed to move about a 3/4 inchometer (20mm), was easy to do though and they...

    Installed a new twin ARB compressor behind my fridge console then took the car in to have a rear air locker installed. Wasn’t comfortable setting backlash etc. still yet to fit airlines to rear bar. Removed my winch and started modifying a cradle so I can rotate it 90deg to get at controls...

    From Wreck to Uluru....Aussie adventure trailer

    Got the body back from sandblaster all primed ready for next stage. Picked up another roof which turned out better than my original roof so will keep the new roof for my car and paint at a later date if I want to use it. I have sacrificed the original which had damaged seals and window...

    Although I've backed off alot from work duties Frank's paying his way as a daily. I picked up another roof for the camper build, but turned out to be better than the original so keeping it and painting at later date if I decide to use on car. I cut the original roof down to suit and now...

    Random 70 series pic thread

    Saw these on a 75 series facebook page. The consensus is a fibreglass cab replacement kit that people use on some of the Island’s around here like Fraser, Moreton etc.

    Accidentally bought another roof. Was going to make one good one and use the other for my camper project but just gunna keep the new one as the window frames and trim are perfect.

    Sorted my tow hitch wiring so I could start towing a trailer on occasion. I had only painted the rear bar with rattle can paint to stop it rusting thinking I’ll get around to powder coating or 2pac at a later stage so I removed the rear bar, cut in the double plug (7 pin trailer and Anderson)...

    From Wreck to Uluru....Aussie adventure trailer

    Living Life got the better of me. Moving house, then renovating. But have dragged the trailer build along with me. It’s been sitting for years in the yard. The chassis paint system was not as good as they claimed either. The system I used on my car build (rust converter, dewax/rust inhibitor...

    What did you do on your 70 series today?

    Turning the cruiser into a daily has meant a few comfort changes and some legal changes like a working horn and better windscreen wipers. Last week I realised I need tow hitch wiring and as usual one thing leads to another. I had just used a rattle can to protect the rear bar till I could find...

    Tested it out last weekend with some 4x4ing and camping. Gets warm drinks down to 2degC in about 20 mins and keeps it there. Which is great when your away from camp for most of day. It’s set to 0 but goes to -20 below ambient. Only runs at this point when engine is running which means aircon...

    Pulled my old centre console out and fitted a fridge console. Had to make a base to contour the flooring and connect to the existing seat belt mounts. Move my sub box behind the driver and repositioned the fire extinguisher. Nice cold drinks now for the longer trips. Also repurposed my old...
