I really like your rear table idea!!


Is that a 4wd Supacentre roof top tent rack? If so, could you measure the total height at the highest point from the actual feet to the top hoop? I'm looking at getting one but need to know if my bus will still fit in my garage

thanks mate,its pretty handy and made it so it slides in and becomes the other wall for the fridge surround when your not using it.
Yeah it is the kings tourer rooftop tent its about 400mm from the bottom rails up to the top of where the ladder folds up

Bit of fun in the creek for the weekend

[GQtdauto]

You certainly use it for its intended purpose and love the way you you get momentemly challenged everywhere you go so I'm not the only one who gets bogged or has fun trying .

[HigginsGQ]

Haha yeah no point owning a 4x4 and not using it, i recently bought some xbull sand tracks so i thought id give then a try

Decided to turbo the old girl and it is the best thing you could ever do to a TD42 765677656876569765707657176572765737657476575

[JackoGQYoot]

Hey mate just a few questions for ya:
What manifold and turbo did you use?
How much pressure are you running through it?
How much better is a turbo td42 to drive on the highway and on the beach? At the moment my NA can hardly get 110😀.
Definitely looking at turboing mine very soon..
Cheers

I got onto a second hand DTS kit running 12psi (wastegate pressure) still with the factory non boost compensated pump.
It is the BEST thing you could ever do to a TD42 i can run along the highway at 110 with the ac on and still put my foot down and overtake easily.
also as an added bonus im using less fuel normal highway and heaps less fuel when there is a cross wind.
I got on average 14.5 L/100 from Cunnamulla to Lithgow 880km thats from flat wide open plains all the way into the blue mountains with the rooftop tent all still and not driving for economy

[HigginsGQ]

Decided to get rid of the DTS filter box and just run the factory pre-filter untill i can get onto a zd30 gu airbox and also drilled, tapped and fitted all my after market senders for the dual SAAS guages EGT and boost, Oil pressure and water temp7661576616766177661876619

Decided to turn the camper around over the rear doors for a try

I reckon that orientation is a winner, acts as a rear awning which is awesome.

yeah thats what i thought to but iv noticed that i wont be able to put my side awning back on without it sticking way to far out, might just bite the bullet and buy a rear awning
