THE president’s say
 Gday all.

 There’s been quite a bit happening back of house, so I thought I would update everyone. I’ll start with the less exciting stuff and then get to the

 good stuff.

 Committee positions.

 For those who didn’t attend the last meeting. Stuart has stood down as president. With growing work and family commitments he felt he could

 no longer give the position the time needed. He has been in the position for the past 18 months which I along with the whole club thank him for.

 I was happy to help out and fill the roll. How ever there is quite a few vacant positions on the committee, which need to be filled.

 We currently have no:

 -Treasurer

 -Social coordinator

 -Vice President

 -And could do with another general committee member or two.

 It is vital to get these positions filled, otherwise those left will burn out and we will really struggle for committee members next year (our 50th

 year). Any of these individual positions are not overly work intensive at all. With all positions filled the committee and there for the club runs like

 a well oiled machine. Once we are missing a cog here and there, well it starts to run like dare I say, a Nissan patrol, and it’s not overly rewarding

 being part of.

 If you are willing to play any part at all on the committee please make contact with me ASAP.

 COVID update.

 As I’m sure you are all aware. The NT and most of Australia did dodge a pretty serious bullet and life is rapidly getting back to normal. How ever

 it could have been quite a different story. TLCC Darwin life member Billy Hayse copped quite a bad dose of covid 19 and was hospitalised in nsw.

 But all ended well and after a much longer stay in nsw then first planned, he is back in the territory and no longer banished to his house (he missed

 the last meeting by one day with his mandatory quarantining).

 I have filled out and had our coved safe plan approved. Which is pretty much common sense, social distancing, hygiene and staying home if you

 are crook. We will need this for when we go back to inside meetings. We will have one more outside meeting for June. This time at marlows

 lagoon (email will come out shortly with details) then the plan was to go back to normal at grey.

 How ever Palmerston council informed me today they they are not reopening grey community hall, they will start renovation and extension works

 on this shortly. So we are currently looking into other options until these works are complete. If anyone has any suggestions please get in contact.

 We hope to have a new venue sorted before our next meeting (in marlows lagoon in June in 2 weeks).

 Trips are back to normal (with social distancing of course) anyone wanting to run a trip please get in touch, we can assist to make it happen. Being

 a trip leader is very simple and we can assist with gps routes, permits and all relevant info. I encourage all members to set them self a goal of lead-

 ing at least one trip this dry season. Seriously anyone can do it.

 Membership fees.

 Again for those not at the last meeting, the committee decided seeing as we are heading into our 50th year. Along with the covid situation effect-

 ing both activity in the club and many members bank balance. We would reduce membership fees by 50% for current members who renew by the

 end of June. An email will come out with all the renewal details in early June.

 TLCC DARWIN 50th celebration.

 2021 is the clubs 50th year. For those that don’t know, we are the 2nd oldest LandCruiser Club in Australia, after nsw. We are planning on having

 a weeklong trip through Kakadu, culminating with a big event on the June Long weekend at Moline Golf course. Please keep the dates 5th to

 the 14th of June clear. For those who can not get the week off, you can join in on the weekend prior (5th and 6th of June) and the 50th party at

 moline golf course (12th 13th and 14th of June). It will be a trip to remember.

 See you at the next meeting,

 Mickey Barratt.

                                                                                                                                                           3

WH E RE DO W E M E E T I N J UN E

     Time to get back to the new normal.

Cut four large squares of heavy duty aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Place a piece

Step 2
Grill over moderate heat for about 10 minutes, turning once or twice, until the marshmallows

that could be done at home over the bbq)

Serviced my winch that I replaced so now I have a spare ready to go :) and added a KAON top
shelf in the rear of the Prado, repacked the car, so easier to get to things.

                New winch                                     New winch

KAON Top Shelf.           Gap I made by dropping the rock sliders as
                                you can see used to scrub against the bot-
                                            tom of the doors.

The bash guards were new lol.   Can’t tell but I had to fix the wiring for the
                                                  rear locker.

  2 X new cv boots fitted.               Shocky covers damaged.

I replaced my starter as it started ticking since our last trip in Adelaid River ( on UZJ100 they are
in the worst spot ) I removed the roof gallery and guard plate from the rear bar to paint them
using Raptor Bedliner.
I also fixed and replaced some lights on my roof rack, redid all the electrical between each
lights.

        Engine ready to be taken apart.                I removed the gas struts holding the
                                                      bonnet, it gave me more space to work
                                                                 around the engine.
                                                      Standing in the engine was sometimes
                                                                      easier!

       Finally had access to the starter            I ended up replacing the starter instead of
                                                      fixing it as is broke while I was trying to
                                                                        remove it.

The Throttle body was realy dirty so                 Throttle body cleaned.
I cleaned it while I was at it. ( I had to
         remove it anyway. )

I painted the roof gallery with Raptor       Same for the gard plate on the rear bar.
Bedliner. Really happy with the result!

I moved the rear Led Lights to the side       New Stedi work light at the back. They
  so now I have 2 lights on each side.       are much brihgter than the previous Ebay
                                              lights I had. ( the one on the side now )

                                                                                     17
