Haha yeah, I was a bit misleading there. I do like it, it just sounds like a vacuum cleaner droning on and on allllllllll day haha. I'm yet to hear one louder than mine. Doesn't start singing though until about 1200, but by the time youre grinding 3000 it sounds like a 747 taking off

[Sprock]

Talking about turbo whistle - mate of mine just got the turbo off his 4.2 rebuilt , they rang up & said "are you aware the hose on the waste gate was blocked off ?"
"Yep i did it" he said
"Are you aware the turbo runs full boost all the time if it's blocked off ?"
"Yep that's why I did it "
" ok well you need to get a dynotune to get enough fuel for maximum output from the turbo"
" mate that fukn pump is screwed up that far there is more fuel coming out than 2 turbos could handle "

Happy Sad Moment this morning... still wiping the tears away.

My darling wife passed away over 2 years ago now, still haven't got over it really but i don't think anyone ever does.

Anyway, I never bothered cancelling her rewards card, no point really as only used it for shopping and fuel which still worked.
Sooo, Door Bell rings, Chewy the Shepherd tries to eat the Courier (he loves courier drivers esp if they try to run).
Driver has huge box discreetly placed between him and Chewy and says "Delivery for Marj?"
WTF I think to myself..."Uuummm Ok, I'll sign for it" says I
Driver beats hasty retreat with most limbs still intact and I open Box.
Box contains a brand new Weber Q and a letter from the Rewards Mob saying 'Congratulations on your win and thanks for participating in the Masterfood promotion. Hope you enjoy your Weber Q and best wishers for a Merry Xmas'

So, Thanks Dear, give the Angels a hug and a Merry Xmas right back at ya.

Haha thanks mate, I thought I had fixed that before I posted it.

When you posted months ago after camping there I saved your map, knowing that I'd want to check it out one day!

I had a look on rooftop map as well and looks pretty straight forward, thanks.

Is it a 4wd only accessible camp area? Was only a bit concerned given how close it is from the main road that that it may attract rift raft in cars...

Howqua River Rd is a dirt track but it is doable in normal cars, so you will see Xtrails , Prados etc at the Main campsite, which is a very large camping ground.
But... from there on you have a few river (i'd call it a small creek ) crossings which filters out a lot of people, leaving the rest of the isolated camp locations to more 4x4 based people... You will see when and if you get there what I mean.
This time of year I dare say it'll be busy.

I wasn't expecting it to be so hard to turn with the locker in. I know some people say it's real hard and others say it's not so bad but it was had work to turn hard.
I'm glad I can turn it off for that reason.

I would avoid turning with the locker on as it puts to much stress on axels, diffs etc.

Has a bit to do with big tyres and where you were was a bit rough on top
mine was ok but can feel when its engaged

100% agree try not to turn , early days I know but you might be better off backing off a touch to dis connect the locker
turn and then re engage it.
Remember you've driven these tracks without a lockers, just engage only on the Knarly stuff

Was pleasantly surprised that after changing the tyres back to 33's and fitting the snorkel and airbox I did a bit over 1100klm's and still have A quarter left in the tank, best I have ever got previously was 1200 dead empty with 33's , with the 35's 1000klm to empty.

[Sir Roofy]

So your saying the new air box and snorkel are doing their job

[Stropp]

So your saying the new air box and snorkel are doing their job

Yes it would seem so about 100 k more than previous and just under 1/4 tank left to empty around 75 k to empty but there is about 40 litres left at empty. I have not tried to see how low it will go before it stops but I should one day I guess

[BigRAWesty]

So sorry I'm sure it's here somewhere but what setup do you have now??

is that from 148 lr or both tanks??

[Stropp]

is that from 148 lr or both tanks??

both tanks with around 50 left in the main i would guess as when i fill it when the light comes on i can usually only fit 100 ltrs in

[threedogs]

both tanks with around 50 left in the main i would guess as when i fill it when the light comes on i can usually only fit 100 ltrs in

So 218ltrs full less about 50ltrs = 168 ltrs = 1300 Ks approx
about 12.9 not too shabby approx

[Sprock]

Pardon me butting in but 1300kms using 168lts is about 7.73....
My patrol pre chip used to get about 10km per lt - 900-1000kms per fill ( both standard tanks ) , after fitting the chip it's about 750kms per fill - about 7km per lt but by Christ it goes [emoji13]

Towed this pajero over 200ks today, didn't really go above 80kph but the car went along so well. It's a new toy for us, 2.5TD something we can go bush in and not worry about damaging ha-ha. Needs abit of work but for $900 who can complain!!!

We usually go to the golf club just before the airport.
Awesome views, great meals and great prices.
Good menu for kids too.

No weight on your front tyres must have been very easy to steer lol

Believe it or not my car was level. I'm sure the springs are set up for towing because they have always been very firm and when I bought it it had airbags in the rear.

I see that model alot around my way tricked up. Id think an auto lokka in the back or front would see it go most places
be it bumping and scraping a bit more than say a Patrol, but tons of fun to be had thats for sure

Auto lokka = cheap trction IMo

Took a longer drive in the Maverick today to start shaking down any snags or issues, had the ecutalk hooked up so i could keep an eye on things.

According to my calculations, on shagged out tyres and running a high idle(really need to adjust that) I was in the region of 16.7-17L/100km.

To say that I'm happy with that as a starting figure would be a massive understatement.

It must pre date the rb30. It looks as though it was printed in 1987 and only has tb and td42 stuff.

Thanks. It seem a bit difficult to get all the factory info.

Got some quotes for mattress's this morning most shops have 50% off till the end of the month
Hopefully the insurance Co will see the benefit of this, quotes are for about $1500 for each.
After sale they are $2500 and $3000, fingers crossed,

Seems by the state legislation the Insurance Co by law must respond to my request
for a Mattress by 28 days of lodgement of the request. whew.
The request was faxed to them on the 17-11-15,
appears I may have them by the short and curlies.
Then again they write the law so could be reamed again. lol

Just got back from hospital. I woke up at 3-3.30 am with dizziness and chest pains. I sat in the lounge room and dithered about whether to go to hospital. For some reason mudnutette woke up, found me sitting there and talked me into going.
Got the all clear, but they kept me in for obs. Bloody good news. Going to get some sleep now.

Just checked the out put of my new compressor and all I can say is WOW 5.6 CFM
My other one is called the Big Black pump is 3/4Hp and was sold by Big Balls Off Road
that was only 3.5 CFM still impressive,
Just shows how up dating gear can help.
Might let a tyre down next week and get some real world times

[threedogs]

Watched the Leyland Bros this morning they went to Cameron Corner to Moomba and Innamincka.
Interestingly there was only the post at Cameron Corner so no facilities, Moomba was only 1 drill head
not the big Gas plant it is today, Innamincka was just the pub and the general store.
They did this trip in what looked like a huge Jeep Gladiator and two Cherokee Chiefs all V8s,
still interesting seeing them drive Outback overloaded to about 4 t each vehicle
