Nah i think they will just get strapped to the roof racks
Did some exploring around eildon today. Had lots of fun
Well I've done a couple of things lately.
I've put a runva 11xp winch in with help from bacho86 and crate.

Put some series 3 depo lights in so I've now got the full compliment of Christmas tree lights

and finally installed a reverse camera

Among fixing a few things that I'd broken in my travels
How'd you go with installing the controller? Where'd you end up mounting it?Quote:

Well prior to heading up to Walhalla I noticed my drivers side wheel bearing had too much play. On the way home it was making some funky noises so today I replaced it.
First time doing it and was easier than I thought. Even hung over I could do it
Well done Lucus, you'll find that most remove and refit jobs are pretty straight forward, the right tools help as well.
I find Google and YouTube to be get friends and then there is the worth of knowledge here.
Mate its looking good

How come you run your tyres in different directions?
They aren't directional tyres. They look like it but its the correct way for the tyres
Don't you think they'd perform better if they are all pushing the mud to the outside of the tyre, and not dragging it in to the center of the tyre?
The tyres are asymmetrical so the tread facing opposite ways on each side is correct and as it should be. There is no left and right in this case
Google them Good year kevlar MTR's you'll see there is a fair chunk of debate about it
Yeah you're right, strange hey. Obviously there is a reason for them doing it that way and I know nothing!Quote:

Don't worry after the tyre shop fitted them I was wondering myself so had to check the google
Nice trip photos mate. I see you got yourself an Aussie Shepherd?
Just discussing sleeping options with the missus and having the dog come along.. Been thinking about a tent for when the pup comes. I can see that's your choice too?
Yeah mate tent for us, I'm yet to try him in the swag. He is a tri colour border collie though I do agree they look similarQuote:

Went up to Whitfield on the weekend and stayed at my wifes families vineyard. Did a few tracks around lake William Hovell.

To this

A much better looking rig it is too. Nice looking country for a drive.
Yeah wow! Changed heaps mate. Whats next on the list?
Have always liked the before and after shots, keep doing it as you add/change things. Have you made "the list"
At the moment I'm doing a bit of rewiring, then I've got to put my rear reverse light on from biggqwesty. Not sure what will come next either a snorkel or sliders probably
Snorkel for sure. You will get way more use from a snorkel.Quote:

I've got this to do at some stage, but not sure which way to go.
X2 on the snorkel. Definitely.
Strong steps or somethingQuote:

Seems it won't work on mobiles. YouTube's licensing pisses me off sometimes
Stayed at my wife's family vineyard in Whitfield on the long weekend. Relaxed and checked a few vineyards on the Saturday and on the Sunday we did a Craig's hut trip starting from Lake William Hovell
It was a shame it was so foggy. I guess its just an excuse to go back in the better weather
Start of the day leaving vineyard we had a nice sunrise
