What did you do to your Patrol today!

[Clunk]

And none of it was my fault either, so my conscience is clear lol

Took it down the beach to test the new awning



And took me dog down to the beach for the first time.

P.s I don't know who owns that lady cruiser, it just pulled up and wouldn't leave. Lol

[Stropp]

Trying to steal your shade mate!

What beach were you at mate? The awning looks the goods plenty of shade.

Yer it's awesome. Wasn't sure about it when getting it but after using is I'm really happy with it.

I was down at long point.

How did you go getting on the beach I thought it was all barricaded off

[Shaun 4x4]

Nothing stops my patrol. Lol

It gets closed off then a new track opens it up few days later.
It's a never ending cycle.

Me and my mate got caught coming out of there one night by the rocko ranger. Mate got a fine for driving in there don't think he ever paid it and bugger all happened. Don't know why they bother closing it off

[Shaun 4x4]

I havent been caught yet. Haven't been a lot but will be going a lot more now that me dog but to good health.

I don't get why they close it either really. It's only to do with the nature reserve, so they should just open the gate at the end back up so we don't have to go through the nature reserve.
But it keeps it a quite area for the few that know how to get there.
So it's a win really. Lol

Well went to the 4x4 show and spent too much, started out with a relatively cheap heavy duty camp chair and ended with a 150 watt solar panel with dc to dc charger and the wiring kit which I will be mounting on the roof the same as the redarc 4b with a frame and catch with boot struts to pop it up on angle when camping, also got a long range sub tank and got a free ticket in the draw to win one of those queer brand hilux with every conceivable accessory known to man, if I Win I should be able to sell it and buy an ex telstra 4.2 ute! When I get the frame made and the solar setup on the roof I will put up some pictures. To top of the day I bought a new swag that has a fly cover that can be setup as an awning, will get that out of the wrapping and get some pics of that too when I can. All I know is it was expensive and the accountant will hate me

Just a rack I built for a local blokes au Ute this year.

Simple shs sides and angle centers for the panel to sit in.
Found these simple tailgate hinges, and set it up that when the panel is down or up the panel is secure between the shs, nut when the struts are removed and panel at 90degrees it can be slid out to place elsewhere.
Gas struts are 90nM kitchen ones, $16 a pair I think..
Good little project..
