Picked up new double swag from Southern Cross Canvas just in time. . Getting a bit of rain coming so she's in the yard for a good season. . Fits in the ARB storm bag perfect too FTW[emoji106][emoji106]https://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/foru...2024/06/32.jpg

We have an excess of wombats here and they are burrowing under our house causing huge problems.Quote:

Finished fridge surround. Though part way into it (as you do....) let's change it to give me a window storage area..........
So another sheet of ply lol and were into it.
Plan is window spot will have recovery gear, etc, in it..
I was thinking of putting the fire extinguisher in there to but it just took up so much space..
I trimmed the tent poles a little and now they fit along side the fridge..
Clothing and sleeping bags will be above fridge.
Water cans will be in with fridge.
Hopefully now with recovery gear out of the draws I'll put a 'lite' tool kit toghter into an expedition box on the rack..
2 major jobs left now.
Lighting..
And a mount to hold the gas bottle, jerry can, expedition box down with maxtracks along side it all.. I can't justify the $400 ish bucks for the arb mounts to hold the gas bottle and jerry can for 1 trip lol..
23 days to go!!https://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/foru...2024/06/34.jpghttps://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/foru...2024/06/35.jpghttps://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/foru...2024/06/36.jpg
Love this clever thinking, great value adding
Mb rocked up to my house today with the beast, it’s looking brilliant.
Down to the wire now, last call to do anything major on your vehicles closing soon lol
I need to go everything, let’s do it folks.

ARB have let me down, after having booking for 2 months they cancelled day before fitting. Have decided to use the GU for this trip as it is already set up.
Tell em to shove it and go the Raslarr Hooped front and rear bars mate. They look significantly better than the ARB Summit. Shame on ARB for not redeveloping the Summit bar when they developed the front bar package for the 300and the next gen ranger. They should have had another look at the S5.Quote:

Tony, IMO the Opposite Lock is the best looking looped bar for the Y62. Have been designed to suit the Nissan V-Motion grille, unlike the ARB bar. Ordered mine, had it painted and installed in about 2 weeks for the same price as a black ARB bar.Quote:

Mum & dad had the same experience with ARB Bairsdale and their MUX rear drawers took frick'n ages. . .

Which one did you order? I'm waiting for Starpower one (from SpaceTek in Mildura) to arrive in the mail.Quote:

Really soft sand the screw in are the go, firmer sand the drive in are good, for rock hard the metal pegs I bought have a masonry bit on the end 👌Quote:

Starlink on the roof permanently, can be removed by undoing lock nuts, waiting on 12v power supply to arrive Monday then I’ll give it a try.
Watching keenly as have a unit as well, but still too many things in front of the Starlink mount.Quote:

Gen 3 can be flat according to them, so I’ll go with that. Optimal is 30deg however it still gets good signal being flat.
Phone links to the wifi from the router, just need to name the wifi and have a password, pretty easy I’m told but will find out next week when the power supply turns up.Quote:
