Did they provide a loaner car?

Been busy with not being able to go anywhere over the holidays

made up some rear draws, removed the 3rd row seat and made up a false floor and built the frame etc

came up good pretty happy,

also rewired and neatened up some wiring I did wire and ran extra wires etc as i dont want to remove the draws to wire anything again ,

also installed a red/white light on the rear door good height and over the draws with no shadow

That's great news, especially if nothing was missed or damaged, you've beaten the odds

Nice work on the drawers.

Good to see you got some parts rolling in. Sounds like you got a pretty good deal from TJM. Can’t wait to see it all.

also noticed my aux battery was a a little low on water, topped it up now having issues with it.. it isn’t holding charge that well keeps dropping to 12.6-12.7 over night usually stays at 12.8-12.9 for a few days

so might have to look in to a new battery too

I run Billies and Dobinson’s from Zordo and am very happy with them. Fitting is not too hard just fiddly, don’t forget to adjust the rear height sensor wiring and position as mine was quite tight after the lift.

Cheers mate, does mine have that ? Mines a gxl only it’s the first I’ve herd of it

I have a VX but the sensor is for the LED headlights self levelling I believe as I can’t think of anything else that would require a height sensor.
It is mounted just in front of the diff on the drivers side and connects between the body and the trailing arm from memory, pretty obvious when you slide underneath. I just bent the bracket holding the loom so it took the tension off. I adjusted the length of the link but you might not need too although if you don’t the system will think your rear end is higher than the front, alternatively you can adjust the headlight to compensate.

Cheers I’ll keep that in mind when I lift mine and see what I can do

Very flash.

Having had a basket on my last 4wd, I had no intention of adding one to this car and haven't missed it.

What are you doing with yours? Rooftop tent or just storage space?
