Bought this awning a while back for $250ish and this rack came attached..
But was a gu rack and 2.5m long..

So have cut it down to 1.8m and some flash new mounts to suit the gq..
So it's now done and painted. Just need to make the clamps, mount the awning and throw it on..

Good one Kallen. I always like my roof racks with mesh flooring so I can throw a load of timber up there too. I like the bit of chequer plate. It has come up a treat.

Have you thought about chucking those drums for disc brakes while you are at it?

Yep just have to see how to mount the calipers , as its the inderpentant rubber suspension with shocks , and I don't want to damage the rubber in the axel welding on the brackets

Am thinking of doing that. Couple of old screen doors with alloy mesh..

But I need it this weekend with the awning to swag under.. So mesh will wait...

I helped my neighbours move out. lol

I'll miss them, but not their crowing rooster.

It's amazing how much stuff will fit into the back of the pod.

Fixed our odo and trip meter.
I expected to find a stripped gear or one that was loose on the shaft. Gears all looked good so I put the motor from our spare one into it and it all works again now :)

EDIT: Also took another 5ml of oil out of our fan clutch (originally put 40ml in, but have taken 10 out again now) and it isn't constantly locked up now, but it was too wet to test if it locks up when the temp gets high.

Brought myself a new carbie for the old girl will see if it sorts out the rough idling and massive fuel consumption that I'm rolling with. Should get it early next week

Serviced the U and attempted to fit the new "Hard Arse". No joy though...
