Pulled the 2nd battery out to move it back and found it. Explains a clunk I have in the car. Lucky I'm still running the ht18 and it wouldn't pull the skin off a rice custard. lol
Putting the second battery in the cargo area now.

Emergency Tyre Valves.

Do you carry any? I'm asking because I thought I did until I realised today that the ones I've been carrying require the tyre to be taken, at least partially, off the rim ........ & I don't carry tyre removal equipment, just 3 spares covering both Tvan & tow vehicle. (Also carry puncture repair kit for tubeless tyres).

However I thought I would post about a product I found online & which I ordered this evening in case others think it may be useful for them - replacement tyre valves which can be easily inserted, without tools, from the outside of the rim without any need to remove the tyre! I'd never seen them before. Colby Valves have been available for about 2 years now, but only from the USA where they are made. Just under $60 for two via Amazon or more via ebay Aus. Not cheap, but with travel in remote areas in the offing, it only needs to 'save' us once to pay for itself.

Anyway if interested check out Colby Valves (https://www.colbyvalve.com/)
& a youtube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9aZyDsprFw

[threedogs]

Cuppa I thought you had a TPMS wouldnt you just carry the valve centres and the tool to remove them.
I have Valve caps that change colour with differing pressure Clunk still going strong sitting on green.
Might get a proper TPMS when I change tyres next. those Colby valves look the part.
I always get who ever changes my tyres to fit the shortest rubber valve stem they can, save getting them broken by sticks or rocks

I'm looking at this and trying to work out how you fit them? Do you fit them with the tyre either deflated or off???

If you rip off a valve stem, you just need to push the tyre in where the valve stem is and wiggle a new stem in from within, you don't have to take the tyre off the rim or is my memory from the early 80s when I used to this so way out of line now????

When the time comes to get new tyres I'll consider drilling second holes in the rims just for the valve mounted TPMS, plus will fit short metal valve stems. Until then I'm stuck with rubber valve stems with the TPMS sensors screwed onto them ......... which potentially could get torn off in tight scrub. Hence the Colby's.

I had colour changing valve caps once. Can't recall the brand, but not cheapies. 3 out of 4 developed slow leaks & the company didn't want to know.

With the tyre deflated. No bead breaking required.

[the evil twin]

Wot cuppa said...

Rip out whats left if anything of the old stem.
Fit the new one from the outside and nip down wingnut or nut to seal.
Inflate as normal

No need to remove the wheel or dismount the tyre or break the bead and... ipso facto... no hassles trying to reseat the bead to inflate

Bought a 4 season 2 man tent today, ready for this years snow season camping adventures. Going to try this instead of the Darche swag and stretcher and see how it compares. Its a Coleman Helios Exponent X2, claims to have been tested satisfactorily on Everest, but who knows. The reviews seem fine though and construction appears similar to the other high performance tents .

Also bought a spare winch gearbox engagement lever for the rear winch. After the last trip which had its share of rear end thumps, it became obvious the winch could sustain impact damage if unlucky, and a smashed actuation lever could be all thats between a recovery or a long wait. Damn expensive (Warn 15000lb) but insurance.

Amazon is just a different version of eBay really.
You can use Amazon Australia but there is no benefit because of purchase cost. Items bought from Amazon Au come from Australia. Items from Amazon US, come from the US. Amazon US decided to block us aussies at the same time our grubbernment decided to make any seller outside AU pay 10%GST on any item they sell to Australia. It only ever used to be anything over $1000 as you would know.
Apparently, Amazon said this is why we cant use their US site. But it quite obvious that their AU site is a flop so they are forcing Aussie Amazon shoppers to use the AU site. All its going to do it make them switch to other sites to buy overseas. Like eBay...

So if you want to buy some chev parts. You would have to contact a seller directly I reckon and convince them to sell and ship it to you. It shouldn't be an issue for most sellers though.

Its vinyl, ro something like that and the entire canvas and vinyl areas have been professionally waterproofed too. Its got some sticker on the door saying who did it. I just want to do a few things, like add a 12v battery bank and solar setup, change the lights to LED, regrease the wheel bearings, so I know they are done, and adjust the leccy brakes as they didn't do a lot when driving home.

Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Well, I do a fair bit of construction work, outdoors, in all sorts of weather, and one of the greatest dangers is working with weather on the cusp of changing. We used these detectors when i was in the mines in MW QLD and they were invaluable in giving you an advanced warning or lightning activity. I recently showed you some shots of a big crane lift i supervised, and it was dicey from my perspective because it had started to rain lightly and was very still conditions. The use of lightning detectors is not that well used in Victoria from what I have experienced, but when a bolt of lightning moves at close to 100klm/sec, any warning of activity is welcomed, so I will base my defence on self preservation and maintaining the income stream to allow her to buy more cushions!!!!

due to inadequate packing materials, however after a bit of stuffing around I got it working. It takes about 10 minutes to reach soldering temp, but once there, cable size such as on winch or dual battery connections are a breeze. Recommend it for the workshop - unsure what size inverter you would need if wanting to use it mobile.

Keep the old bolts in the car as spares mate. On a Licola trip Sprock and I did last year he managed to lose a bolt, one of the real long ones too on a track. We eventually found it a few hundred metre back but had to pillage my Patrol for the right sized nut to secure it back in.
I am really not sure how we would have gotten him out if we didn't find that bolt.

Funny you should say that as I purchased the new bolts from Patrol a Part and they seemed expensive until I tried to get a spare set using commercially avail stock from a bolt supplier. The PAP factory genuine units are half the price of the generic ones. I have since purchased a pair for spares from PAP. Unfortunately I will have to destroy the drivers side front/long bolt as the belly tank is nestled right up and past the bolt in the direction it needs to be pulled out. I am not dropping the tank to get it out, so the angle grinder will take the head off and simply reverse the installation so bolt comes in from the outside to the nut. I think AB and Rossco went this path also when they mounted their tanks.

In case anyone does go the external supply route, you need M14 x 90mm and M14 x 180mm long bolts and the respective nuts.

I had to remove that bolt over the weekend too and had to take off my rock slider to get it out but that is a lot easier than dropping the tank.

The Display is awesome, nice touch that GME have included an RJ45/RJ45 connector in case one needs to extend the Mic cable.
I know they are only like a $1 but saves having to source one if needed.
Still need to SWR the install so haven't done any 'rubber duckin' yet.

I went the 330 'cause I got it for $350 on a one off deal.

Finished the SWR and highest is 1.7 (not that SWR is usually anything to do with the set) so happy with that and performance seems excellent so far.

Also gotta say that the access to trim etc on Y62's is very user friendly... most comes on and off in a jiffy

Yeah that section under the light where it tapers up to the corners is what I like. All other bars I seen were dead flat across the rear which I didn't like.

[PeeBee]

That is a very neat looking bar, well thought thru and totally integrated with the body and max clearance.

Brought myself a Superior engineering bolt on shock tower kit.
Now just need time to get Paul at Outback 4WD to fit it. lol

Yep. Thats why I went with Milweld. Plus have the tow hitch built in is a bonus. No hayman reece bracket hanging down...

Yeah tower braces are good peace of mind especially towing, boss kits are cool but guess they're all pretty comparable and do the job. .

Something I keep putting off....Get a set and drop them on while fitting the bar.
Especially with the extra weight of those bars.

Bought mine a dyno tune with Diesel Tec. Now just gotta figure out how to get home from there after dropping it off.

How much did they quote you?
I've been ringing around (Melbourne/Geelong region) last week getting quotes to dyno tune my GU III TD42 and the quotes I have so far range from $300 to $800, both including boost controller.

Bacho86 looking to do the same. Can source ex Gold coast for $165.00. Looks like can and bracket only. You appear to have sourced the kit as a whole.

Whereabouts and what sort of $$$$

Best in Victoria Hodgey mate and so say too our wider Country’s TD42 - Diesel Guru Blokes!
‘Andrew’ has hopefully skilled his proteges ‘’’ to carry on day to day rolling Prado’s and or Joker cashless trucks for that extra Umphgh.
IIRC Top Bloke brought properly tuned 3” Patrol exhausts fitted to us Mexicans some 20+ years ago, well before China pipes ;-)
Gained us some near 50km extra per tank for many years ;-)

15mm radius arm spacers, will go on when the other front rods arrive, hope to get a bit more clearance on the front tyres - might even get the mud flaps back on.

Glasses for both the the wife and I.
She's pretty bad, multifocal lenses and prescription sunglasses I'm just in for reading glasses. She's going to be in for a stock when she sees me through the glasses...

On a better note I dropped off the steering rack on the Clubby to be rebuild, must get that thing registered.

Sorry no funds for the trol.

Last of my upgrade items, Chrome Moly Drag Link, lifetime guarantee - could not go past it.

May I also recommend anyone planning on following MudRunnerTD down a casual chosen 4WD Scrub track of his choice to purchase two of these hedge trimmers! Both bolted forward 45degrees to each front corner of your bullbars should suffice :-)
