What did you do in your shed / man cave today?

[D4D]

Sprayed a can of WD40 on the Prado exhaust bolts in preparation for fitting the new exhaust on Wednesday.

Hey Spada,
Nice job mate, draws are on my wish list atm 

Today I Fitted a volt meter that monitors the Aux battery and fixed the fridge to some tie down hooks in the rear.
Cutting the hole for the switch & meter was a piece of cake using a Rotary Tool that I got from Jaycar.

Spent the say in the cave with the young fella making sets for the next show my daughter is in. He spent 2 hours cutting shapes with the jig saw.

Over the last day or so I have been installing a pulley system in the ceiling of the shed to hold the roof cage off the 80. I'll also store my swag etc on it. The plan is to be able to back in, lower the cage, bolt it down and go.

Built some 2.4m high shelves finally along one wall - get all the unused camping gear off the ground and up into storage for winter! Thank god, it has been bugging me for ages

Hey    clarky,
You'll have to post pics mate.
This is something I would like to do in the carport.

Made up a 1 metre long power cable that has female 15amp plug on one end and male 10am plug on the other

Gave the Prado a bubble bath and replaced the myswag sticker as the old one was starting to peel off.

Cheers Spada.
I've a got a few more mods to over the coming months, hoping they all are as easy as this one was.
One is to make a storage place in the tailgate, I know I can buy a drop with hinged liod one, but they want nearly 500 bucks for it.
I'm hoping to get out of it for a fraction of that cost

Installed an awning on "Frank". Pic on Franks thread.

Cleaned the shed and garage up over the long weekend.
We now have plenty of space to open the camper up to dry the canvas if required,and can get the cruiser into the garage and out of the weather.
Makes it easier to get away during winter knowing we can dry the canvas with worries if required.
Not real exciting stuff but has needed doing for a while.

I know what you mean about replacing the my swag sticker, ours has turned black from the sun, I hope I can get a replacement soon.  We just did a trip to charter towers and back via mount garnet green vale road kept a look out for my swag stickers, saw 2 okr's thought of chris j.  It was a bit wet coming home today:)

Finally got my new (well, rebuilt under warranty) Bilstein shockies back in the Prado. They have been staring at me for 3 weeks. Needed a rainy day to get them in.







Nice to see that Blue and Yellow back under there.

[Hoyks]

I drilled a bunch of holes in preparation for fitting my camper onto the ute.

It was after 5 when the shops were shut and I discovered the drill I was using that had all the writing worn off by spinning chucks was a 9.2mm, rather than the 10mm I thought it was.

I could have pushed harder and made the 10mm bolt go through, but I gave up in disgust.

Have been playing panel beater, and it really sucks! This poor old car doesn't have a straight panel on it. So far have done half of the boot floor, outer of LH quarter and tail light area, both doors and I'm well and truly over it     Should be done by about September, 2019.

Today's effort.
