I really like your rear table idea!!
Is that a 4wd Supacentre roof top tent rack? If so, could you measure the total height at the highest point from the actual feet to the top hoop? I'm looking at getting one but need to know if my bus will still fit in my garage
thanks mate,its pretty handy and made it so it slides in and becomes the other wall for the fridge surround when your not using it.Quote:

Bit of fun in the creek for the weekend
You certainly use it for its intended purpose and love the way you you get momentemly challenged everywhere you go so I'm not the only one who gets bogged or has fun trying .
Haha yeah no point owning a 4x4 and not using it, i recently bought some xbull sand tracks so i thought id give then a try

Decided to turbo the old girl and it is the best thing you could ever do to a TD42 Attachment 76567Attachment 76568Attachment 76569Attachment 76570Attachment 76571Attachment 76572Attachment 76573Attachment 76574Attachment 76575
Hey mate just a few questions for ya:
What manifold and turbo did you use?
How much pressure are you running through it?
How much better is a turbo td42 to drive on the highway and on the beach? At the moment my NA can hardly get 110😀.
Definitely looking at turboing mine very soon..
Cheers
I got onto a second hand DTS kit running 12psi (wastegate pressure) still with the factory non boost compensated pump.Quote:

also as an added bonus im using less fuel normal highway and heaps less fuel when there is a cross wind.
I got on average 14.5 L/100 from Cunnamulla to Lithgow 880km thats from flat wide open plains all the way into the blue mountains with the rooftop tent all still and not driving for economy
Decided to get rid of the DTS filter box and just run the factory pre-filter untill i can get onto a zd30 gu airbox and also drilled, tapped and fitted all my after market senders for the dual SAAS guages EGT and boost, Oil pressure and water tempAttachment 76615Attachment 76616Attachment 76617Attachment 76618Attachment 76619

Decided to turn the camper around over the rear doors for a try
I reckon that orientation is a winner, acts as a rear awning which is awesome.

yeah thats what i thought to but iv noticed that i wont be able to put my side awning back on without it sticking way to far out, might just bite the bullet and buy a rear awningQuote:
