On the Simpson FB page.
Current diversion in place on the QAA line.
Last pic is of a ranger crossing it early August.

Yes it’s obviously an aftermarket canopy and mounts, can’t find any brands on it and the bloke I bought from has no clue.Quote:

What I do love about a trip like this we have coming up is it gets you motivated to sort your shit out with your set up lol
Your car, bedding, tents, food, recovery gear, parts, communication, time, fuel, what is needed what is a nice to have to what is a need to have, etc
Yeah babe, this trip will cost nothing!
Meanwhile, my mind is like…

Ok so I emailed the caravan park at Birdsville and asked why we can’t book, Kerryn the manager said they are waiting on costings from council who own it to set fees for after June 2024, she will ring me to let know as soon as it’s set, I will pass on when I get it.
Being thinking about what I need/should carry as spares, pretty sure I'm the only tb45.
Found a complete heater and radiator hose kit for $225 from patrol a part and will have a radiator cap, but what about things like alternator, it was changed in Dec '21. What else??
Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk
Wouldn't worry too much about alternator in desert but could for peace of mind if you really want, starter motor for auto maybe but then again might be overboard. Spare nuts and bolts corrugations rattle averything to buggery, zip ties & duct tape & metal putty a must lol. . Make sure tyres are good a plug kit & compressor (but will be a heap of those on the convoy.) Really good pre start prep service a must check all wheel bearings, brake pads oils etc. Spare filters a good one to carry too.

Yeah me too, it's been way too long and hopefully it will do something to the fuel economy, if not at least it will sound better..Quote:

Jen can’t make the Simpson trip so it’s just me and the two kids!
I’m going to rip out the RHS back seat and create room for more storage with the second fridge/freezer and pantry stuff.
Stay tuned, so much more room for activities lol

I’m the same, I’m taking the back seat out to put the fridge on that I’ll use as a freezer to keep the weight forward.Quote:

Oztent for us. A trailer of any kind in the covoy would be a hindrance to the group in my opinion.
