Put some two stroke in my 1hdt's diesel tank.
Because it's not a CRD piece of crap  ;D

 :cheers:

Put some 2 stroke in the 80's tank, and 20 litres of chip oil. Grabbed a drum pump off eBay for $25 which has made it a whole lot easier process to fill up. I scored 18, 20L drums of unused oil from the army base, so I don't even have to filter it. I've been adding one 20L drum per full tank.

White vinegar'ed and then Clove oiled the side wall for the annex that had grown a little fur over the winter.  No the whole hose stinks of a strange combination of the two as the wall hang to dry...

Lesson learnt, the really smelly way....

The Chinese laundry is now open - not sure though how long I can put up with the smell though before I have to dump them back in the camper.

Hahaha, it's surprising how much it does smell like a fish and chip shop.
My old man has been running his 2.8 litre hilux on straight used chip oil for 2 and a half years now with no issues. He just runs it through a paper cone filter before putting it in the tank. Hasn't paid for fuel in a long while.

Got some paint work on the Troll a few weeks ago. Due to a disagreement with a dirt wall in the Glasshouse recently.
Paint job was ok. But their buffing was crap.
So got rid of all the swirl marks today. And chucked some wax on. She's all shiny ready to get scratched up again now.

Also changed our the RHR tail light as it may have melted a bit with the HID Bulb I had in there.
Swapped it for some new LED that shouldn't get as hot, but can still use for a camp light.
And seeing as I was already playing with electrical goop.
I cut the alligator clips off the Challengers compressor and added an Anderson plug so I don't need to pop the bonnet anymore.
It's almost like I was a sparky only with no skill, knowledge or ability.

And the new sliders go on the Troll tomorrow.
Poor old girl hasn't had this much attention in ages.

I thought they'd be fine at Coles and even Woolies.
Wasn't sure about Aldi on sale day though.

that should protect the sills a bit
sure beats cutting the sills off and putting RHS in there
I haven't seen them made like that before. are they useable as a step

I was impressed when I saw them.
The guy that makes them calls then a hoop slider.
They still have a full straight beam directly under the sill so will function well as a slider...
They angle up a fair bit. Usable as a step.. not as good as flat for that to be truthful...
The Troll is not exactly low... so never super easy to get into anyway.
I'll probably add a bit of grip tape to the top.
How usable as a step is probably subjective to the height of the vehicle.

I have dinged up the lower door panels once or eight times at Aldi.
So these will protect that a bit more.
The scalloping is perhaps not as pronounced as it looks in the pics.
I think they will add a bit more protection than my last set, which sat flat. Especially on closed in tracks where a fair bit of flex is required.
And I just liked the look of them.

Be careful with the grip tape...............I added some to the top of our sliders and everyone would slide out of the 4x4 and tear up their calves on the grip tape  >:(  .
Ended up removing it to stop the loss of blood and screaming from all involved  ;D
