Another little shake down trip.
We were invited to spend a long weekend with some dear friends to celebrate her 50th. They're into mountain biking like we're onto 4wding. So they went out on the...
Check the Murrindindi council web site. I can vaguely remember there being some 1+ acre lots being released. Otherwise the realestate.com.au web site. Good luck.
ARB let me down this week, after waiting for 2 months for my drawers to be fitted they rang on Thursday to say some parts hadn't come in and they now can't fit them until August. Now looking for a...
Got the tinny, my drowned phone, but with the cash and licences still in it, the fuel tank, paddles a few buckets, the car battery was still attached to the boat. Also got my ammo can full of tools...
Sorry to read about your mate, MB.
Angry at myself, and exhausted, and lucky to be alive. 4th time out in my tinny, and it capsized. Phone, keys, tools and a car battery with a brand new electric...
Bit more progress, chest infection, again, holding me back, but baby steps get the job done. Finished the pivot mount for the big antenna, then trial fitted the new TRED boxes, ordered another 65L...
Had a chance to have a good look today..
So, the stupid design of this tank means that there are 2 outlets one at each end. What I tried to do is connect the 2 into one.
While full it works...
The diaphragm pump has a poor suction capability, which is why they only rate the discharge head. You will do better lowering the inlet of the pump to the same level as the tank outlet, then it...
So I picked up a cargo barrier off marketplace for $50. Man what a mission. In the end I had to remove the backing of the fridge cage and work out how to mount the bottom of the barrier. Then make up...

2 fridges @3 degree and a freezer at -15 degree with overcast weather all day. The battery got down to about 50% with a 300watt folding blanket. Water tank needs a pump which I...
Procrastinating about the format of the rear pod, bit the bullet today and bought the starter pack from TRED, which has a 55L and 2 x 27L units. Combo seemed to work a bit better than the Expedition...
Seeing that I'm now missing a rear mounted spare the redback bags are retired..
However I still needed a solution.
So I'm giving the CrashPad Tailgater a crack.
Not cheap at $275 delivered but...

Well after leaving home at 10pm Tuesday night to get up to SW QLD to get my daughter away from this toxic and abusive environment she’s called home and work for the past six weeks, at 5am, 240k south...

You kinda get the idea. The hook in the 2nd pic is screwed in from the top because I wasn't sure how the self tapping screws would go. If I need to I can drill out the holes and nut and bolt it. It's...
Had my Ryobi folding shop light fall off the ladder today, it was about a month old. Decided to call in to Bunnings and see how I go in getting it replaced.
Walked up to the counter and told the...

Went to mount the ARB lightbar today using the ARB locknuts, after paying the ransom you would think they would actually fit - NOPE, nuts diameter bigger than the slot. So 1 hr on the die grinder,...
