yeah with the Codan 9350 you dont have to manually do anything. As you change bands on the radio, you hit the tune button and the antenna autotunes to that frequency.

I used the DVD from www.res.net.au to study for the standard exam. They are $30. Plus my club did a few mock exams as well to get us ready.
if you are going in a group then in a tight case scenario fuel/water can be shared.
Best advice I was given was go as light as possible. Its less stress on engine and suspension
I did the Simpson trip in June, and used 18L/100. I had calculated 20L/100 when I was planning the trip.

Some guys have reported that changing the fuel rail pressure relief valve has improved the economy considerably. The initial symptom is it takes a few tries to start a hot engine.

I went with genie performance 3" stainless exhaust.

I installed a 3" exhaust and never had a problem.
on my Patrol going up hill with heavy load would cause the semi limp mode , no error code or check engine light would show up.. eventually going to a bigger exhaust fixed it.

Not exactly. The rear diff breather only goes to te cross member in the chasis, the front diff, transfer case and gear box go to the left wheel arch.
you can get a DIY kit like this....
if someone is driving everyday then the crank battery is getting charged by the alternator.. with out depleting to dangerous levels ?
although I am still working on my setup , so I could end up...
PROs
- Simplicity: no mucking around as its easy DIY (dont need auto leccy)
- Cost savings: the whole thing would cost me about 350 as compared to about atleast 500 to 1000 for battery isolator...
Any recommendation on a good MPPT controller ?
