Mine arrived today. Be warned that the instructions say Do NOT connect to Router. Got me going for a moment until I realised they have not updated the instructions from the Gen 2 power supply.Quote:

Wheel rotation. [emoji3581]
After replacing tie rods and front end bushes a little while back a wheel alignment was due. Finally got around to doing it today.[emoji3581]
Was wanting to carry a second spare on the roof. While rotating the wheels I wanted to see how I would go. No chance. Someone suggested to carry just the tyre and get it fitted in town, I think I'll go that way.

I carried a single spare when I did the Canning. But I did use a bluetooth tyre monitor and took plugs.Quote:

Wish I was going, but If I was heading out that far, I definitely would have a couple of inner tubes as well. I have seen a tyre with a three inch gash in the side wall that was fixed with an inner tube and a patch of inner tube rubber. The gash was tied together with those large cable ties.
I once gashed and wrote off a Mickey Thompson MTZ coming out of the Ouyen BP servo. Was flat by the time I crossed the road. Couldn’t find what caused it either. On my way to an Anne Beadell/Connie Sue trip. So if it can happen in town (annoying but not dangerous) imagine what a stray mallee root out bush can do to a trip. I always took 2 spares on those trips. There are other guys with you to help get it up and down from the roof, team effort @jay see .Quote:

Also drilled some holes and mounted to Jerry can holder with bolts instead of rivets, can’t believe they were riveted on with 3 small head rivets ��
When you buy the Gen 3 Starlink they supply you with the router, the dish, & a 240v power supply. (ie. 240v to 56v). In a mobile situation an inverter supplies 240v from the 12v battery (ie. 12v to 240v to 56v) The 12v-56v power supply replaces the Starlink one. Main reason for doing is that my 3000w inverter/charger has close to 2.5 amps 'overhead' which adds up to a fair drain on the battery if spending long periods online. In addition one less voltage conversion should mean less 'conversion losses'.......... so overall saves on power consumption from the battery.Quote:

So it sounds like it's possible to set it up & test it before you have to start paying the subscription? Did you buy the Starlink locally or direct from Starlink? I'm planning to buy locally (JB HiFi,Officeworks, Bunnings etc) as I can then install it without commencing the subscription until I'm ready, but I didn't know I'd be able to power it up & test it.Quote:

Myself and Nis would be in for a shirt / hoodie.
We have finished meal prep with 9 meals to go.
Also wired in 4 of the 7 led lights to the tub.
Not long to go now!!https://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/foru...2024/06/54.jpg

I know it was mentioned a little while back, but is anyone taking this route home. Is this what you were talking about @AB ?
Don't wanna do it on our own and will these fuel stops have unleaded? My googling says yes.
We are thinking of staying at Broken Hill for a night before making our way back into Vic. https://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/foru...2024/06/55.jpg

Nice one also just finished wiring up couple of LEDs in the back of the wagon to compliment new rear windows. Certainly won't be struggling to find things in the dark now lol. . . Dropping car off tomorrow at YV4WD for final check over then few odds and sods to finish then start packing[emoji106][emoji106]https://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/foru...2024/06/56.jpg
