At Warakurna Roadhouse for two weeks, then Alice on the 14th for some more chemo. By then they may have found more work for me? If not back to Strath.

Thanks heaps.
Yep, the drawers under the pod.
I can't quite see the bottom lock, but does it have the bar that attaches to the lock and goes across from one side to the other? Mine does, so I'm guessing I might have to make my drawers a bit smaller.

Rossco, bear in mind that GOF's drawer spaces may be slightly different dimensions to yours, his being an Obeico Pod, & yours being a Rosscos.
Consider also the plastic boxes & rope solution - saves a fair bit of weight.

Plastic boxes were my first thought....until I gave up looking for something 450mm x 120mm.
As Cuppa said, and I didn't realise, you have a different make of pod. Might change things.

I didn't realize they were different, either. Oh well, food for thought to get me started. Thanks.

Made it to Glendambo for tonight. Fantastic food!
Nothing fell off yet, nipped all the wheel nuts up and got at least a flat out of all!
Air on gave up! Seems my local regassed it with some new shit hn10 or something. Not suitable molecules are too small. Only takes 1/3 of the normal amount of gas so when a little leaks out it's all over. Evaced and regassed with R134A in Port Agutter now too bloody cold.
Need cruise control, it pulls well and sits on 2500rpm at 110kmh with no dramas, just hard to keep my foot backed off!! Saw 145 passing a road train but I won't admit to it. Too used to driving my non turbo1HZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz in my Cruiser!?!?
Anyhow,having fun and will be at rip off rock tomorrow
