What did you buy today

[Rocket55]

I've heard that too, but I've also heard the ones that face backwards are louder as the finish right on top of the window opening ... Well that what I'm clinging to anyway :eek: I'm getting one with a forward facing ram head on it, so it'll look just like a Safari one only a tad thicker when you get a bit closer to it.

[nissannewby]

Nice Rod. Definitely gonna be different. not sure on the snorkel myself yet. I like the 4inch pipe setup but after reading a few peoples thoughts, if you have the pax window open, its quite noisy....

Yes a ram head is best. It helps direct air into the snorkel, helps to keep the water out and noise.

If you want the best from any setup 4" from top of the snorkel all the way to turbo is best.

No, forward facing for me. It's a Radius Snorkle. Hoping it'll look something like this, only a series 4 though...

Haha, thats my mates rig. That snorkle is a Millweld one, but looks very similar to the Radius one. Yes I will need to cut an elongated hole as the snorkles are recessed. A 4" snorkle that sits completely outside the guard is very vey wide.

The Radius one will also cover up the holes from my standard Nissan snorkle (except for one bolt hole underneath which will require a plug) whereas some other the other designs don't quite do this. If I had no existing snorkle I may have gone a different way?

Have seen quite a few of those in the outback. Always the older ones like yours. Over the years the owners have modded them (think strenthening, silicon & dustproofing) & those still getting around have reached a stage of being well suited, lightweight & virtually unbreakable.

Well were twice from 2 weekends after this one.
It'll slow down a bit as wife has also landed a job wich requires some weekend work. It won't stop us but we'll stay closer to home so she can duck in for work.

Yea first point of call is brake upgrade and electric brake setup, coupled with an extended draw bar, front tool box for annex, poles, Porta loo etc and a poly block (or ad I call it a treg) hitch.
I'll also start the installation of drop legs on all 4 corners to suit the lift. Atm it's all bit wobble when setup due to everything being close to max down as its been lifted 4 inches

Great choice I reckon. Over the years I’ve had 3 saws, all Stihl. Started with a rebuilt little 012 which was still running well after 20 years until I ran over it with my old Land Rover (Series 2a ute). I bought an 036 & gave it a hard life for 20 years & replaced it about 4 or 5 years ago with an MS361. I’ve use plenty of other people’s saws which are ’temperamental’. FWIW I reckon the best way to prevent a saw from becoming temperamental is to not let anyone else use it! When my son wanted to borrow my saw I bought him a second hand one of his own.

[threedogs]

I may do that. I wanted everything to look as smooth and finished as possible. I may have to ditch the pillar mount altogether as I have a pillar speaker to work around as well. I'll get it figured out one way or the other.

Brought the boost sensor adaptor on ebay, it sits under the OE boost sensor
comes with extra bolts and sleeves to space the engine cover up a tad.
I dont run an engine cover.
also comes with an "O" ring to allow accurate readings.
Cost me $50 but much better than the system I have now.
Highly recommend if you want a foolproof way to get boost readings.

Yeh it's meant to be pretty impressive I've heard as well, my Dad did it a couple years ago and he's happy to do another trip there, so may do that on Cup weekend. Its a bit further away than a standard Licola / Woods Point HC trip, so the extra day off for the long weekend will help.

A mosquito net "tent" for the awning as part of the subscription to the mag.
Took about 20 minutes to set up but 15 minutes of that was working it out. I'd say it would take about 2 or 3 minutes to set up with 2 people as it has 2 shade sails to pull through and Velcro straps for other 2 tops sides and posts.
It will be great when out in sheep country to keep flies off the food long enough to eat and up north to keep mosquitos away on hot nights. Packs down in a bag same size as a sleeping bag and weighs about 2kg.

threedogs,

Got mine on-line from Superior Engineering for $149. This seems the going price everywhere. They are also available at Ironman stores and many other 4x4 outlets. It's the same travel rod used by Penny Wells in the Top Of Down Under 4x4 travel series. My friend bought one a few months ago and I was very impressed with the build quality & multiple configurations ( it's only 10 pieces if you want to make a beach rod ). There's a good video on them on Youtube from the maker/designer.

I've heard that's illegal... do you know if that's true?

[BigRAWesty]

Can't see how it's any different to an air tank??

[threedogs]

compressed air is a no no in case of collision. Better off buying a tested tank and bolting it to the chassis rail.
Had that idea years ago and was warned off it , ended up making the side steps into water tank instead even with
76 x 50 RHS by 1.8 mt long,,,not much water,

how are you going to test them , and what happens if it goes pear shaped

[BigRAWesty]

Compressed air test.
But it's my bus so I'll take that risk.
They won't be pressurized most the time anyway, only when needed.
Same as you don't run the air compressor all the time..

Do you have any pressure tickets? Not questioning your welding, just saying that if you do I see absolutely no reason why it could be called illegal.

Just brought some off ebay as well IMO I thought they were a tad short,
Seller assured me they were GU struts, plus they mount differently

[Rocket55]

Arb air locker for the front on their sale with the twin air compressor, hopefully getting fitted tomorrow

[Winnie]

Hey Stropp I thought about getting the twin one but they didn't list in their sale. How much was it to buy one locker and the twin compressor?

Yep they're pretty big mate and can also get pretty hot when using them so be careful when putting away for the first time.

I really hope no one every buys one of these hoping to mount under the bonnet! Lol

Yea I did get warm. Thinking a 12v computer van on the head will be a good addition once I'm cofident in it.
It's going in the rear 1/4 were the jack is located. The new draw system will make that sections a bit of a pain to get to so no good for a jack.. but looking at an exhaust jack anyway.
