I was going to fit the trufit bonnet liner but decided to wait till the weekend so I can put a few sheets off stg1 sound deadener on first as the bonnet sounds very tinny when tapped.
sound deadener, sound dampening, noise insulation, dynamat, resomat, underbody, sound proofing

Yeah well we couldn't cruise the streets of sunny Brisbane wearing out rags that are NLA now could we.

I thought they looked familiar

Nice score mate new screens are available if you want to restore the old girl.

Oz,
That's the bonnet liner they won't ship to US... costs too much they say.

 

[ozcrusier]

That's the one mate it won't roll up and would have to be shipped in the flat box. These would need to be top packed in a shipping container.

 

[jblueridge]

A shame, really. It looks lke a good piec of kit.

The other night I baked saturated desiccant pellets to restore their drying properties.

Re-filled my inline air dryer

Then I sprayed PPG Omni epoxy primer all over the disassembled winch parts.
Top coated today with rattlecan VHT Epoxy paint.

I fitted the trufit liner 3 of the clips where not centered but that could have been my fault. I can hear the exhaust now and bonnet feels heavy with no drumming.

Did some digging

 

[ozcrusier]

I hope you had mechanical help loading and unloading.

 

[cruiserpilot]

I hope you didn't destroy that PVC drain when you drove over it! LOL!

 

[stayalert]

Big project - replaced my batteries!

Installed my Spider Trax spacers last night. I thought I had a brake problem as I asked my wife to step on the brake for me for the front rotors and the darn things were spinning freely. I went to see what was going on and she was pushing the darn clutch instead of the brake... She has only driven this RHD beast once.

I drove mine 2200 miles to get it home, slept in the back at rest areas.

Spent Sunday inspecting it. Finding all the stuff the P.O. failed to disclose.

Can't figure out how the rear cargo dome light works. It's getting 24v and the bulb has continuity, not sure how the toggle works though, it won't slide, maybe it's just crusty and needs further dis-assembly.
