    Gu had just had new suspension put under it.
    Have spent on quality suspension on the van..
    Major service before we leave.
    So hopefully by spending before we leave will make for a smoother trip..
    Yep, major service and pre trip check over before the trip. Serviced in Darwin and AS along the way ............ but Murphy always manages to throw something up. My long range tank was 8 years old, fatigue cracks started from where the baffles are welded inside the tank. Had the crack welded up in Birdsville but it opened up again in Coburg. The shocks where only about 40k old, but I guess they where 40k rough ks. Used up 4 air filters and 3 punctures on the camper. The camper wears the same wheels and tyres as the Patrol, lots of tread but no match for bits of wire and mulga stakes.

    PS Sig pic was taken at Ruby Gap, east of AS, well worth a look.
