    Your phone will get you within <8m, except for mjr350s having limited exposure to the sky but I don't think navigation was his intent? if you need more accurate than that buy/ use a proper gps

    I have a gps on the dash and a Magellan handheld in a ram mount for off road but the garmin surprisingly has excellent bush track coverage.

    What has made me happy today?

    Fitting up the full set of Safebrake's braided lines, taking it for a test run and noticing a positive difference in the braking. Then comparing it to a mates Patrol and stopping a whole lot quicker than him as well, and he was driving an unladen ute. :-)





    Also finished dicking around with my Engine Watchdog and am starting to get a better feel for the running temps of both engine and transmission. Yes, too much info can be painful, but one you've got a feel for it, knowing your truck is just that much more enjoyable. Work in progress there of course... wouldn't want to talk myself out of the next mod.

    Excellent to hear! I have a set at home, waiting for me when I get back from site to fit, so hoping that they make a difference.

    They certainly look like quality brake lines, I'm impressed!

    Hard to say what difference the full flush and new Dot 4 brake fluid made to the equation, or whether new rubber brake lines would also have felt the same, but I'm a happy camper with the mod.

    Yep, one of them anyway as it was shagged. Put 15mm spacers in the front coils, and the wrap on the bottom too. Was getting an annoying clunk, but that is fixed too.
