First thing they learn at Uni is that NEVER let the truth get in the road of a good story.

Heard interview live on Friday afternoon while on Fraser Island. Plenty of tailor at present.
Well spoken Cuppa.

Ute is his work vehicle as a painter (and decorator as I remind him) and we only go fishing to Fraser etc so no rock climbing or mud etc.

Back again with update.
Existing drag link is in good condition so does not need to be replaced. It only the cracked rubber boots which will cost $10 from Superior Engineering.
Pays to shop around.

Vague plan is to go to Avalon airshow in March and then just head west. No particular time or place except be back by 1st week in October for trip to Fraser with son and the usual group of derelicts....

Bit the bullet and spent some of my son's inheritance.
Really happy after a week or so on Fraser as every thing just works as it should. A lot of time and effort has gone into the design and...

Have not posted for ages but have lurking to keep up to date.
A common problem with GU and GQ's is the brake lights staying on. Most often caused by the broken little plastic insert that the plunger...

Hi Cuppa
Spent a few days on Pennefather a few years ago and was stalked by a croc while fishing from the outer bank on that lagoon near the mouth. Thought it was time to leave.

Friends on mine...

This will probably open a can of worms.
We had a very experienced (older) maintenance bloke come over to the Island to fix our generator and he commented on how much rust was evident on the...

Hi all
Considering above camper. They are fibreglass composite and made on NSW Sth coast.
Was looking at aluminium in previous post but price will be similar when fitted out.
Has anyone got one or...

I have a VDO temp gauge and it took 3 to get it right. The first one had readings too high and then low issues like yours. The second one just kept going up and not stopping until it went off the...

I rang them before Xmas and will be talking to them in next few weeks when I visit Brisvagas.

2006 coil cabs have 3150kg GVM and when I did the Cape a few years ago was 90kg over weight with full fuel (180lt) and water tanks (150lt). The existing canopy is quite heavy so aluminum replacement...

The rusty bit came with bullbar and protects bottom of radiator. Looks same as mine which was a Nissan promo "free" bullbar, towbar and spotlights in June 2006.
It was the only bit of rust in my ute...

A lunatic mate of mine late last year spent $210,000 and counting on a brand new 200 series then before registering it ,chopped, stretched by 750mm, custom aluminium canopy.
Battery setup cost...

Agree. My factory gauge gets to normal position at 60c (reading from VDO gauge) and never moves no matter what happens. The real gauge (VDO) goes up and down like a you know what depending on...

Caught early February this year in Rockhampton area (top secret of course exact location)
Went 133cm so was released with considerable effort as she could not swim , so had to start up motor and...

Don't forget Cuppa that your ute is over 3 tons normally with your set up in the back.
My son's 2005 GU leafy rides very good considering but he also have a heavy tray and canopy.

Lucky tide was out and it dispersed over mudflats before it hit us.

Entry no 2. Still need to feel the speed

A different type of motion-Feel the need for speed.

Add to above that only the Bridgestone dealers have the Japanese tyres. Other 3rd party outlets have same tyres but can be made in various other countries which IMHO are not as good.
I currently...

Was wandering around Avalon a couple of weeks ago and saw this strange plane on the tarmac. Can anyone identify type and estimated top speed and what type of weapons it can carry?

One of my favorite bush pubs

First camp site north of Waddy Point with my GU and son's GQ
Note the correct use of reels on the fishing rods
