...before I go off-road
DONE Install tow hooks, front and rear
HALF DONE Waterproof it more - both replace the rubber seals on all three doors, and to fill all the holes with bolts or grommits. Back door is done and used about 3.2 linear metres.... thus stuff is $15 a metre from Para etc, and you need some special glue to stick it down.
DONE Fit this snorkel
DONE
...real soon
Learn to weld... BUGGER!!!
DONE Side light was not going - first thought that rust on connectors was interfering and bought two new sidelights from trademe for $20 each. Later found that a bullet connector near the horn had failed. Recrimping that fixed the problem.
- DONE Door tops - specifically the top/forward corner. Needs replacement seals or something similar. The fix is to remove the doortop and gently tap the two bolts so the doortop leans into the body a bit more. You shouldn't notice any bend on the bolt.
- DONE Guttering - all around especially in the front corners. Intend to drill out every rivet, raise the top of the roof, clean out all the sealant that has been put there over the years, seal it and re-rivet or possibly rebolt the lid.
Turns out the fix was a bit easier, but not by much. I drilled out every rivet from the front and above the two doors. the wedged the top off the guttering using some chisels. Then I picked every bit of sealant out from the inside and from the outside, used a wire brush and then an old cloth with stiff dry paint on to saw through the space.
Then I put a bead of Selleys adhesive RTV sealant along and redid all the rivets with new blind aluminium ones. Also did this all the way along the sides and back. - DONE Rear view mirror - don't know how but it drips. There were some blind holes in the roof mating surface of the roof that allowed water to fall inwards. Seems the roof is from a different vehicle.
- DONE Bulkhead - theres heaps of holes in this, mostly for bolts etc. Will put rivets or rubber grommits in the round holes and seal around cables.
- DONE Tub/lid seam - the rubber is not lined up correctly. Need to lift the hard top and reposition the seals and rebolt.
- DONE Floor panels - sealed all around the edges and fitted new screws.
...Sometime
DONE Add these side mirrors.
- First it was on the bonnet, but I found it too invasive... being a thick wheel it cut into my view.
- Then it was
bungee-tied down in the back to this 
awesome mounting point. Note you can reduce squeaking by spraying the contact surface with dry-glide (spray the vehicle, not the tire. Let it dry before replacing.) DONE
- For a long time it was lying flat in the back, and strapped to two pairs of tiedown points.
- Now its back on the rear door having fitted a third hinge, a better door latch, and a dovetail to carry the weight.

DONE There were too many things on the battery's positive terminal. So I made this out of a scrap of aluminium angle. Its got some big and small bolts for different lugs, and a small blade fuse block for other things. I want to redo this because its a bit exposed.
DONE Front bonnet/breakfast seal - the old one was deteriorating, and a replacement one was quit expensive. So I used a bit of the leftover rubber seal from the back dor and glued it down. Works fine, stops the bonnet rattling at speed.
DONE Ciggy lighters, two of. Used to power the cameras, and one spare for cell phone charging or whatever. I don't have a lighter. The switch above turns them on even when the motor is off, so it could be possible to run the battery flat. I've left the camera+screen on for 8 hours while at work, and it still starts fine though.
DONE I got annoyed because every modern car has a clock. So I made one out of a $6 "craft clock" from jaycar and the shell of my dead temperature gauge. Works fine, fits the space perfectly. The clock is powered by a AA battery so its not on the car's electrics. The backlight works at night too. Its a bit of a mission to change the time though.
DONE Dashcam! More details on this at http://criggie.org.nz/camshot
DONE I accidentally folded my driver's door back... it came open while backing down the driveway, and caught a post on the fence. The hinges were fine, but their mounts had become bent. And since the door had rust in it anyway, was time for a replacement. This door bottom cost me $25, and with a couple licks of paint looks totally perfect.
DONE I found these driving lights at the supershed for $2. One worked fine, and the other needed a new lamp. As practice for when I do the main headlights, I decided to use a relay.
DONE The little disk horn died... it just didn't work one day. So I bought this twin airhorn, and mounted the horns just behind the grille. They're bright red but aren't particularly visible. The compressor and relay are mounted straight behind. This is a loud horn, but not particularly deep. Next time I'd get a longer lower note.
DONE Nokia CARK-91 which I bought for $10 off trademe. The control box is inside the dash, and the remote speaker and mike are on opposite sides (too close leads to feedback.) To be honest I rarely use it, but the booster aerial helps when off-road, and at extreme coverage this stops the battery draining so fast.
DONE I have four of these in the back - bolted through the wheel wells. They're just drawer handles with dangly rings I bought at Bunnings for a few bucks. But they're welded and work well.
DONE My wipers were sloppy, so I replaced them. The most expensive bit is the little knurled knob on the axle - they're $30 each! I was fortunate to get the arms from a cleanout "somewhere"
