30 bucks on sale, good enough to leave in the back of the patrol.http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2023/06/23.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2023/06/24.jpg

A few weeks ago I bought a Kings 75lt dual fridge freezer and the fridge slide arrived yesterday. I would have liked a length wise slide, not end to end, but they're unfortunately out of my price range. See how this combo pans out.
I've still got my 95lt Evakool, but the 240v adapter is so expensive for me. I've had mine for years but gone through 2 adapters, and I cut my losses there. It sits permanently in my shed with frozen dog food and other stuff in it.

Today, i bought loyalty and dedication. My 18.5 week old GSD puppy and I went on a road trip. It was so special. The only thing he doesn't like is when I change back to 2nd gear, coz I conk him on the head and wake him up.Attachment 86981Attachment 86980

In my old age I thought I’d shout myself a new car. Even has enough room to cart some of the grandkids around.
What do you think?

Walking through the local shopping centre yesterday with the aim to buy a windbreaker jacket. Nothing spectacular, just something to keep me dry if it’s wet and rainy for an upcoming boys golf day.

So 12 months ago I bought a wool coat on special at Myer for about $160 which for me is a big spend, but it was a very nice coat and the original price was north of that. So anyway as we walked past Myers I said let’s check out myers for a jacket, thinking something nice might be on special again. I think those puffer jackets are for dooshbags so I’m not interested in them, but I spy this parka/nylon/plasticy jacket thing that looked ok on a plastic dummy. Sales chick comes over and says would you wanna try this on sir? I said how much is it and she said “7 39”. I didn’t quite comprehend, she saw me staring blankly at her, so elaborated “seven hundred and thirty nine dollars. Would you like to try it on?” I said “7 39 for a parka? Give me a break!” She smiled sheepishly at me and I walked away.
Around the corner I spy another jacket that looks OK. I’m checking it out and the sales guy says “I’ll give you 10% off that jacket if you want to buy it, I just sold one half an hour ago. I pulled the price tag out and read $999! “Good on ya mate” was the only reply I could come up with.
Fugginell and they’re complaining about the cost of living? Perhaps stop buying parkas from Myers!!
PS I decided an old jacket I already had was good enough! :D
A noo leaf blower.
My 20 year old 2stroke blower is cactus. So I went to Bunnings and out of their entire range they had one petrol driven blower, and it was some brand I new heard of. So I went to Total Tools and splurged on a Milwaukee blower.
Man this things an absolute beast!
By the time I put the two batteries in it, and cleaned my entire driveway, which is 50 metres long, I would have not even started my old blower. I would have just finished putting fuel in it.
Bloody expensive but, Ho Lee Chit! Worth every cent.

Did a bit of shopping pre xmas, didn't qualify from anything from Santa after the Visa card bill arrived - bloody Santa tight arse.

I carry a load spreader plyboard for the jack so it can easily be located and rolled for final placement.
Picked up one of these kits yesterday, waiting for it to arrive, Should make things easier all round, Aussie Product.

OK, the jack arrived and it easily lifts the front of the patrol off the ground, so easy just pushing a botton up and down, BUT, its is marketed as a 10T electric Hydraulic jack, and has a lifting capacity of 3500kg, not 10,000kg. The 10,000kg corresponds to the weight of the vehicle - these people are on drugs. I have dropped them a line to advise of the false declaration and waiting for a reply. At the very least i am expecting a partial refund because it does lift front and rear axles off the ground which was all I was looking for, however the smaller jack they sell is marketed as suitable for a 3000kg SUV - this one totally different. Annoyed once again.

The carry bag also contains a 340NM 12V inpact gun and impact sockets, very neat package.
Before you fork out coin and carry extra weight Phil check post #12 here mate. I’m sure you carry a long handled shovel. Give it a crack in the shed. Easy peasy Janapese mate.Quote:

Thanks Plassy, I know a bloke with a new GU that wants to add some weight, so he can carry it and I use it - simples!!!! Ultimately its got to work and be easy. Changing wheels is a handful at the best of times, and I can use it in the shed as well.Quote:

I will try the shovel, cost is irrelevant if it works and is effortless.Quote:

Confirming here the shovel methodology works a treat, even on 200kg + loader tyres as long as it’s a decent quality shovel. One foot on the shovel and a serious Mexican AFL hip & shoulder gets their rim centers onto the fully floating axle hubs ready for a final little pry bar Rotate/Lift/Liverpool Kiss onto studs [emoji856][emoji2957][emoji23]

YALE, is another good brand of tyre swapping ease that can assist when our Adventure Undie Bugs kick in. Merely hydraulic leverage operation for perfect ground height tyre variations.
Struggling to justify carrying the additional weight on the ute though and a little peeved off they never considered adding a light weight dunny hole digging function too [emoji22][emoji2957][emoji23]

Ordered today.... Front & Rear Delios rotors (Marks Adaptors). Braided brake lines all around (marks Adaptors). Caliper rebuild kits. Factory brake pads. Ive been concerned about spongy brakes for too long. Time to fix it. I hope.
I found the braided lines made a significant difference. I found the standard nissan pads also worked very well, and attribute both of them to me passing the 44 emerg braking stops that were part of the GVM upgrade process.Quote:

I have one like that made by Southern Cross Canvass, absolutely brilliant, but too big for my use now, bought a 10ft x 10ft minute tent from them, another brilliant item, 1 pole and 4 pegs, can stand up in it, breathes well and totally waterproof. We got hit by the tail of a cyclone in our big SC tent, and were the onlt tent standing next morning, everyone else flattened or in their cars, its a great format.Quote:

Those “bus” tents (used by the outback bus travel companies for fast ups and downs - poor driver ripping a dozen of them up and down a day!) also came with spring-loaded poles so the tent can flex in the breeze. Bloody fuggin ripper tents to travel with and grouse quality. Can be a bit cold though but that’s tents for ya. Far better than an oztent imho. Packs flat. Lighter. You can stand up tall in em to stretch and put ya jocks on without doing the hunchback one legged hopscotch half asleep. :DQuote:
