Lucus, so you good to go for 2:00pm then at the BP that Rossco mentioned? That is pretty comfortable time for me not to be rushing in the morning, but we'll also get in to camp in good daylight. Should be pretty relaxed.

Last night I cut a small hole in the top of my drawers and mounted some rubber on the back of the cargo barrier. I can get a strap around my Jerry cans and they'll be tight and not rub. Bit of a pain being petrol, but no big drama. I got some pretty ordinary fuel figures offroad last weekend (around 30 l/100km), but hoping the sample wasn't big enough to be accurate or I stuffed something up. I'm gonna bring 3 cans just in case it was...
Got a couple of things to patch up tonight. Need to try and get a big lever onto one of the stock bash plates near the exhaust. It's only fixed on 3 sides and pushed up a bit. Out in the pyrenees a couple of weekends back and on a couple of really steep climbs it must sit back on the engine mounts just enough for the exhaust to knock that plate and got a regular knocking noise. Hope that's all it is. Also got to put a screw back in a mudflat and pack a few standard items back in the drawers. Will do my final pack tomorrow night. I noticed when I was under the truck the other day that the petrol tank gaurd has had a decent whack and the drain plug is slightly exposed. Probably should look at that, but might run out of time.
Only two more sleeps to go :)
Yep getting close now :) Weather is looking pretty good, snow to 1300m tomorrow & Friday but nice on the weekend, will be pretty cold nights tho. I will bring a saw and get some wood in the arvo. Should get up there round 1 ish hopefully.
Still need to get the GQ back together. Been a bit busy lately and all haven't got this rear bay on yet. . . Long story short got a bad paint match for the rear quarters and haven't had time to get it matched correctly till this week, anyway should be back together tomorrow (has to be!!). Hopefully the paint is good if not it will be in primer. . . Bout time i got this bloody bar on!!
Bloody hell mate, thought you would have been right on that!! Saw Andy's bar and it looks great!Quote:

Yeah it's taken a while!! There's been a bit going on and the bad paint match stuffed me round a bit - Grrrrrrrr. Can't wait to get it on, Andy's does look good very happy with them.Quote:

Where did you get the paint?Quote:

Diamond Creek (paint & auto place). Yeah pretty annoying, it was done to code, looked alright in the can but was a bit dark. All good, it'll get there just bad timing with being a bit busy, worth the wait to get it right tho. . .
Maybe your paint has faded over the years. Can you take the car in and get them to match it?Quote:
