Finally got around to installing the diff breathers to the rear diff and transmission today, now I have to do the front when I get a chance... Also trying to hunt down a very annoying rattle on the drivers side rear passenger door area... I will find it tomorrow if it is the last thing I do before I go back to work!

HI Rogerthatv2 did you ever find that rattle in the driver side rear passenger door. I think I have the same annoying rattle.

I did, its actually from the front RH side guard area rubbing on something. Toyota found it, after much persistence and it is a 'common' rattle and an easy fix. Drove me bats!

Hi RogerthatV2 Thanks for the reply. Did toyota say weather it was the front or back guard that was rubbing.
My rattel sound more in the driver side B pillar or driver side rear passenger door. Well I'll have to put the Missies in the back more offen (Sorry Dear!) untill we find it.

When they called and said it was the front drivers side guard I said to them that it is not coming from there it is more in the b pillar area, they said no there is a channel that runs up for the safety cell and carries the noise up. What ever they did it has fixed it, drove me nuts in in my right ear!

Rattles back, worse then ever and it now has the dreaded 1500 to 2200rpm drone to go with it... Southside Toyota are winning me over just like Oldmac did, maybe time to head to Motorama...

I finally had a chance to pop over to TJM Brendale and pick up my wireless winch remote, works with the new series of TJM Winches and plugs into the winch control box. I removed the radiator cover and ran the wire and receiver unit into the engine bay near the battery. It has an override switch on it that I will keep in the off position when not in use. I will eventually mount the hand remote in the cabin some where nice and easy to get to. Not bad for $99.00, or $90.00 bucks for PP members! Hopefully my new TJM steps will arrive soon so Lawry will get off my back about scratching them last time I went out to play!

The hand remote and the control unit, see the little override switch on the side. The control box also has a magnet on the back to assist in mounting.


The hand remote fits nicely in your hand, has a good little mounting bracket as well to mount in the cabin.

Southside Toyota fitted up my new upgraded Mud Flaps today, much better then the previous!
Rears...

Fronts...


I also picked up my Kakadu front camera housing (thanks Brains) so I can mount the front camera in the box, hopefully I can modify it so that I can get some good vision from the front camera. Not bad for $29.00.

Also got a call to say my TJM Steel Side Steps will be in stock first week of February, happy days!

Does that mean you can go offroad now?

[Rogerthatv2 Avid PP Poster! Find all posts View Profile Close Rogerthatv2]

Yep, but due to the Kitchen it won't be till our camping weekend at Gordon Country. Fingers crossed the new sidesteps will also be on by then as well.

Looks good Daniel, I'm still waiting my one more to arrive for mine as they have to come colour coded from Toyota.

Hey Daniel, new mud flaps look the goods. Will be good to see how you go with your cam mount. Keep up the great work.
