I am starting to get worried, a day and a half and I still have not been able to pull the 5 gear idler bush of the counter shaft. I even splurged and brought a new puller today but still no luck.

cars been fully serviced today with new diff oils, transmission, brake fluid, engine oil, new front brakes and a quick machine, new front cv seal, new fuel, and air filter and spare belts slightly blown away at $1200 but everything is checked and given 2 thumbs up. Now just need new shockies but hes booked out until the 4th so i have a week or so to find some more $$$$ and we are ready to roll 26 sleeps to go

Well when I get home this weekend the truck should be ready to pick up from the fabricators - brushbars, front recovery points, and a tray lift should all be done.  The undertray water tank will then go in, as well as the third battery for the truck.  Then it is time for a major service and we should be right to rock and roll!!

I am still trying to get a gearbox back together.

Just need to do the other side of the campers bearings, cruiser gets air bags and new springs in the rear next Wednesday , install the UHF radio using " McGirrs Theory" and get a new battery for the camper.

Nothing like cutting it fine to make things interesting.
Hope you've still got all the bits. Things can wander off, if left alone for too long...........

Get the CT checked over early next week. Suspension upgrade on the Prado happens on Tuesday.

I have finished the gearbox, I think I put the right cogs back in.

I received this in the mail yesterday, It's not mine! does it belong to anybody in this forum.

[jclures]

No No, that's not mine, ..  ???well I don't think so.

The gear box is all go, so is me old Nissan (mechanically). I must admit that I am cutting it fine this year but there is so much to do and so little time.

I still have to fit my roll out annexe's x3, fit the bigger compressor for the diff lock and xtras. finish wiring in the gauges and the engine management system, sort out the cruise control and get the gps system up and running and service me winch (no not wench,winch).

I still have two more days this week before I go to work and ten days up my sleeve between coming home form work and leaving for the cape, piece of cake.

We are ready  just came from zordos and no new suspension needed so that's money I'm glad I didnt have spend.

A lot done today.

Bearings done on the camper.

I supplied the mechanic with the airbags, cost $265.00 for the bags, he installed them and supplied and installed new rear springs and also done the front and rear diff breathers all for $230.00

The rear of the cruiser is sitting nice and high ready for the weight of the camper and a pallet of beer.

He gets all my business.

All good yogi if I break the crusier I will put some big tyres on the getz and I can swivel weld the drawbar of the trackie onto the roof of the getz , this will give a real good turning circle , and a bit of downforce to assit with traction.

Or as a final back up ....some fat tyres on my pushy with a coles trolly as a trailer ..LOL
