l.r.a in lillydale mate do a neat 146l tank

Yeah LRA is who I am looking at, I will most likely buy it through ARB here in warragul though.

got me 2"lift,200lt fuel.just sorting out camping gear..Winnie be good to see your draw set up when it is finished...Water storage and draws are the next to do list for me.Was going to bring camper trailer but thinking otherwise now days so there goes the idea of having enough water..after that it's just the usuall going over everything mechanical again and again...Want a set of gauges before I head off but have never bothered before so not necessary...It's the interior of my car that looks like crap,all my door trims are falling apart...P!ssing me off looking at them

The tyres in the outback are more important than the locker, also have you tried to get a 2 hand fuel tank?

I forgot to mention Rossco is also coming on this trip.

If my family can't come ill do it solo and possible double run with Dazz.

If family does come then I will have a 3 month old so only meet at dalehousie for the single run.

Sooo, who's meeting at Birdsvile for the double crossing??? And what date???

Me and Bene for sure. Need to have a look at the calendar. I intended to do a pretty quick east west crossing to get to the meetup then pretty casual back as I need to be careful to make sure I have enough leave. They only owe me 12 weeks at least plus long Service. Thinking of taking 3 weeks, maybe 3 and a half.

Thinking probably 26th or 27th June in Birdsville.

Na just a single here. Will be there a day or 2 early to settle.
Depending how the trip goes will determine if we do the flinders or not. Father in-law pointed out some nice tracks on the way home threw nsw, Vic, and home.. We'll see..
Got 1 week prior and 2 after so will be just cursing home..
Are you still thing flinders AB and Winnie?

I am taking my camper trailer, as you know it is a long wa from Perth and I expect to be away for about 3 weeks....

Okay this is a question not just aimed that Gary but to everyone, the tyres I would take now are a 265/75 Maxxis AT700, how would they go in that country? If I buy new tyres they will be KM2s which would surely be better but if the ATs are alright I could put it off for a bit longer.
