With luck the final leak was resolved today, unsure why it had not leaked previously as the fitting was missing a factory fitted rubber sealing washer, anyway, all done, needed to head to Bunnings...

Wrapped up the installation of the Marine Oven and the Bushman freezer on slides, came out well, have 60mm airgaps around the oven on 3 sides, will be fine.

Also ran the hydraulics today, system...

Well I was looking to do just that, then did a stupid thing and removed a screw thats inside the mirror near the pivot point and it had a loose captive nut - not sure that makes sense, but it slipped...

The rear view camera that hangs off the interior mirror put too much load on a 25 year old plastic ball joint, so down to Patrol A Part and a brand spanker bought to add further cost - $165 - ouch.

For such a heavily loaded element I would be defaulting to a factory original. You then get exactly what the engineers specified within the manufacturing tolerances, including rubber hardness and...

Sorted out the arse about DCV this arvo, another 3 hrs of finger cramping back busting pleasure! Tomorrow with luck I will sort out the final hose leak. If I have time, will add a second filter to...

Hre appears to be the root of the problem. I followed the labelling on the dcv and the rivetted label appears to be 180 deg out of sync with the valve internals.88749

Another day of bee-stinging enlightenment. Hydraulics this time.

Fixed the second last hydraulic hose leak, leaving the last one for a new day - absolute mongrel of spot to reach it. Luckily the leaks I repaired all remain intact and no drips.

Noticed I have a...

Took the barge out today for a 300klm run and ran just like it was before it got a tank of muddy water. Couple of odd diesel spots on the driveway, something not tightened up, another quest to...

OK, sneaked out this arvo and finished the fold out shelf in the POD - just the right size for coffeee and snacks on the run. The table slide/shelf is also pictured, made from 50 x 50 x 3 angle,...

I went with the Wolfbox 900 Pro with front and rear cameras. It doubles as a rearview mirror, but with the POD I use the feed from the rear camera. It has a few features I like, can split the screen...

It was a win-win situation, I worked on the truck in total peace, and my wife got to do what she always loves doing, washing the sheets, vacuuming the floor, ironing my clothes, washing my car,...

Took my time yesterday and sorted out the exhaust mounting bolts, then insulation wrapped the pipe and installed high temp insulation to the wiring loom, installed the support brackets as the last...
