No worries mate.
I've let him know. When he knows, I'll know, then you'll know ...


Eric. If you don't mind could you let me know when your mate gets his draws. Suppose if I add the time difference I'll have a true ETA.


Cheers mate.

I called them today and they have an order coming on the 12th of December.

Hey John.Just letting you know.

Jamie got his draw package yesterday arvo.
Ironically they arrived afternoon before his big trip (he left this morning). But even so, it is a major f*** up...

They arrived with NO wings, you can't install the draws without them apparently. mudski Is this true when you were fitting yours?
And there was NO bag of certain bolts or screws or something. Needless to say, considering how organized this mob is, and this close to holidays, who knows when he will get the rest of the stuff now......

No you can install the rest without the wings. You just need to remove the drawers when putting the wings on.

Another trip to jbs.
This time for a phone. My youngest is getting my wifes, so she was looking at the s7 outright for 899, mine has been playing up and I inquired about the OPPO f1s (iPhone knock off). Left the store with 2 of the OPPO and $300 better off as well as 2 telstra 6gb Sims
So in the last week or so 3 laptops, double din radio and 2 phones.

Yeah for the price you can't argue. The quality is quite surprising. One plus is, the price. If you lose it or wreck it, it wont hurt as much. One of the reasons my mate bought it as he's not the best with keeping a phone working.

I read today that they are now recalling these fridges due to electrical malfunction possibly causing fire and all fridges sold between Oct and Nov should cease being used and returned to domestic and will have new parts installed.

Got all the belts changed, too.

Gotta give my Nissan dealer a bunch of roses. Last service I was told I had to get a radiator flush. Since being told that, I had the radiator replaced, upon expert advice, and told the receptionist I had the radiator changed and didn't need a flush, but they did it today anyway - forgetting that I told them.

Was told by the receptionist not to worry about paying for it. Got a free radiator flush.

And now the plug......Donovan Nissan, Merredin.

Nothing like home grown veg / fruit and creating some thing from them. I have a few punnets of beetroot in the ground at the moment and still waiting for them to grow. As soon as I take my eye off of them and forget about them, they`ll be grown up and knocking on the back door to be boiled up and pickled. I pickled a heap of green capsicum and chillies two weeks back and hoping the vinegar mix will go good on the next batch of fish and chips, but no idea what I`m going to use the capsicum and chillies for. I`m the only one in the house who`ll eat chillies in one form or another. You looking at acreage of some sort, or an extra large back yard?

Good thing about this guy, he's very intimidating at auctions apparently, and auctioneers hate him. Particularly the mob we are wanting to get this house through.

Like the cluster backing but will keep mine standard .

[GQtdauto]

Mozzie and fly mesh tent for 2.5x2.5 awning , materials are heavy duty , fairly easy to put up , midgee proof mesh .
Have a feeling that extra zip should have been on car side for easy access to car but can't get to beer fridge that way so not a huge drama and wish it had a floor but couldn't seem to find any brand this size with a floor .

that would be perfect on the banks of the Murray, air flow ,,,mozzie proof
what more could you want. I like it a lot LOL

[GQtdauto]

Upon reflection I may have put it up wrong ? And one zip may just be carside , it has two points that slide into the awning track front and back if I turned it 180 degrees I think one zip would be on car side .
We will probably get shademesh sewn onto bottom for a floor .

I bought a new wiring harness from Wholesale Automatics, so I can swap their torque converter lock up module from the Pajero to the Patrol. I've decided to wire this one in myself after seeing the bodgy job a local 4wd shop did on the Pajero. Soldered wires had no insulation etc, shits me when you pay good money to supposed professionals and you get a bodgy job in return.

I hear you, when my trailer wires fails I traced it back to scotch loks joining all the wires.
After venting big time I asked if this was considered best practice, they did not answer.
Anyway like you I ended up soldering all wires, no further problems easy peasy lol

Yeah it's amazing how good the fit is , I used the top brackets in the seatbelt mounts marked them and cut them , tack welded them and put the barrier back in adjusted the fit , removed welded the brackets on and only paint I had was black so touched up the welds with black .
Retried for fit and now I can't get the barstard back out , might have made it a bit too snug a fit .

Howdy
From what I read it can work with a Uniden hands free phone car kit
The mic I was given comes with a blue tooth controller that clips to your shirt and you plug a head phone with built in mic so you can be away from the car and still use the UHF.
It also says there is an optional Bluetooth earpiece like we use on our phones
The instructions are very basic so I will have to have a play and see if it could be paired to my cars radio

My 240 volt compressor was on the fritz today and needed to use my pneumatic nailer so thought I'd plug it into the new double thumper from that joint , so plugged in the air lead and gun plugged in thumper , it ran for about four seconds and cut out .
I'm swearing and cursing and checked volts but they were ok , maybe a fuse , no that was ok , now I'm thinking that cheap is not always good you idiot serves you right .
Mate who was with me picks up nailer and starts nailing away and after the third nail the thumper fires into life for two seconds and cuts out again , then I realised that it's turned off because that's what this one does when it gets to 150 psi
Now where's that bloody instruction manual I turfed .
For the record I tested the three inch nail gun as well and no problem .

Yep, they should be a bit lighter than my old home made set in the last vehicle. I was going to modify my homemade set, but they are damned heavy and I really wanted to get away from using a drop slide again. I think the double stacked drawers and low fridge are a better option for my use.

Not today, but during the week. We spent our honeymoon in Bermagui and went for a drive to Tilba, there is a really nice wood turning gallery there where you could easily spend tens of thousands on some magnificent furniture. We got some nice little pieces for the house though and something I have wanted for a long time which is a real nice wooden chopping board which should last a lifetime.

They un-banned it a while ago. I sent back two of mine, via Big W (Campmaster) and received 2 new ones in return, that were compliant.

Got bored at work, bought another UHF radio and antennas to suit - working on the cover story right now, but have 20 days before the VISA bill gets discovered by the general.
Bought a Hydraulic pump from UK to mate with the gearbox PTO - 35CC/rev, at 500rpm should give me the same speed as my belt driven unit at 1200rpm - but heaps of headaches to come sorting out how to mount it.

Bled the brakes as my fluid was stuffed. Looked at king pins decided they are stuffed, Not sure if I'll do them myself or get somebody else to do it.

That Single Barrel you have too macca, the left one, is the shizz. Not as good as No.27 but is real nice with a single cube of ice. Or refrigerated...

My brother who lives in Perth gave me that for my 60th, I have a pact to share it with him next time we see each other.

Might be a while but it can wait!

Agree about a single ice cube.

McGuires do a vinyl restoration product that removes the oxidised layer and seals the plastic, returning it to the original colour. Only issues are ; 1) it is a sticky finished surface finish for at least 24 hrs, so dust might undo your hard work if exposed immediately, 2) it has to be re-applied periodically - I found I was getting about 2 months then it starts to fade and go back to the lighter grey colour of the base plastic,. I used to do this when my wife drove the vehicle, but now it doesn't get done anymore.

Maybe some thin air tool oil rubbed in with a rag, sound ok?
Maybe even vegetable oil,,,lol

[threedogs]

Brought some 1200 degee tape as I have a few intake hoses wrapped in gold foil.
this tape will hold it in place better, thus looking neater

Apparently baby oil works very well, and I have even heard people smearing peanut butter over it and the oil in that soaks through

[Yeti's Beast]

I use this.

Yes I have the ryobi gennie , it's reasonably quiet , easy to start , apart from the hiccup of it doesn't like to run in +46 degree heat at max output (which I'm sure none of them don't) only other problem that had me stumped when it wouldn't start at 80 mile beach WA .
Oil was down a bit and slight angle the unit was on activated the fail safe switch for low oil level , so not much really to say don't buy one ours has been ok .

Don't do it, your camping neighbors will hate you.
Listening to a generator while camping really pisses me off.

While we camped at Dalhousie Springs during the forum Meet in the Middle, there was a bloke there who ran a generator until very late at night.
He was running one incandescent light bulb. Would you believe it? We live in a world of LED lighting and lithium batteries, it is very cheap and easy to get a rechargeable LED camp light that would probably last longer than a tank of fuel in his generator and put out more light.
What was he thinking???

Have owned a Honda generatoŕ for 10 or more year and it has never been camping. They are so invasive with yhe noise that they make. Have felt like taking a hammer to a spark plug on more than one occasion.

Tuff Truck tickets you little beauty.

[Cuppa]

Ordered & paid for. Should arrive in the mail in a few days time. One more thing ticked off the ’to buy’ list. Hoping to carry it around with us for a decade or more but never need to use it! Will get a plb too.

[GQtdauto]

Yep same as mine , must work out how to use the gps function properly

[GQtdauto]

We took the gennie as back up when going round oz , used it twice first half of the trip and one of those times was loaned to an old guy and his wife who pulled up late and couldn't get his going .
Nothing worse than a generator going right next door unless your by yourself or well away from others , I put 600 watt of solar on van roof and had a 3000 watt inverter so used it bugger all .
Till we did the second half during the off season , temps mid 40's no other tourists and blew my inverter up .
So did use it then , but soon realised price of fuel for one night was same as off peak caravan park .

[bazzaboy]

I have solar power and 3 batteries, but if on extended trips I also take my 1k Honda Generator. It's over 10 years old and hardly makes a sound, especially if I place it under my insulated "2 milk crate" noise filter. You can stand beside it and hold a normal conversation while hardly noticing it running. I only use it in an emergency, if the batteries are very low and theirs no solar ( sun ) available.

[GQtdauto]

Having 600 watt solar for two batteries even when sky was cloudy I could get a float charge or better , only time battery's gave trouble was one batt shite itself , should have started with two new batts but cheaped out and only bought one new one .
