Bloodyaussies TD42 a new beginning

[jay see]

Getting the bendix heavy duty instead of the 4x4 pads ( on advice from a brake specialist) was a bloody good decision.

I feel them really grab hard..

I changed all four of mine a few weeks back with the Bendix HD and new fuild and I know what you mean.

So in the last week I have made my remote activated relay box and still in the middle of wiring it all up and will also stick a small solar panel on the roof.

Hope to have that all finished tomorrow.

I rebuilt my power steering and now it is so quiet and smooth... lovely.

I added a fuel cut out switch and hidden it somewhere that is top secret.

I made up a bracket for my new hunting light that is so bloody big its ridiculous.. plus also made a bracket that hooks onto the door so I can rest on it while shooting.

I want to try and get my quarter chop done before the trip...

Took pics but they are on my phone and its gone flat.

All this with an operation last week and both kids home from school holidays....

Busy boy, well done mate!

Don't put the solar under the roof rack though. Although the bars in the rack block out a minuet portion of the panels it makes a huge difference!

I didn't believe it myself but marks old GU had that and the drop in charge was massive!

Cool nice work! How did those wireless relays go?
Is your secret fuel cut off switch as secret as your horn?
"I bet 50 bucks you won't find the horn button in my..." BEEEEEEEEEP

I would buy a cheap swimming pool noodle, put a slice down it lengthways to cover the bottom of that frame to be a bit less harsh on your door.

Its not finished... i painted it and now it needs the foam covering done ... oh and stuff the door.... it's my rifle i dont want all scratched up.. the relays work well and have them powering larger relays so as to cope with the 40 inch light bar.

I drilled a nice hole in my front quarter panel this evening for the power to go through.. once my Anderson plugs turn up i can finish the job.

Seeing as you have a completely different style roofrack [Mark]
with no mesh. place the panel underneath and measure
how many amps you're drawing, compared to on top. you might be surprised
With that style roof rack you could easily cut one rib out and cross brace it
and mount a solar panel flush to the rest, and not lose any strength.
Can always throw swag on top when going away to protect it'

Trouble with mounting solar panels to a roof rack is you need to park in the sun to get the best benefit.
saying that your fridge is also in in heat and working harder.
I prefer to chase the sun during the day with a portable set up

Cool can't wait to see the relay set up. Did you order the ones i posted or different ones?

I am not sure... the ones i ordered would not work so i went to jaycar and just bought one of there 2 channel relays.

Its all done and works very well indeed.

I also fitted the solar panel.

Just need 20min to tidy up a few cables but Erica was in the house cooking her first cake solo so i had to make sure she did not burn the house down.

I will go out tonight and test my new hunting light... that should be fun.
