What did you do to your Patrol today!

[Sprock]

Haha it seems I created a side story , Glencairn is an area nth of Licola , between Jamieson rd & middle ridge intersection on top of the hill - it's the bit down the bottom - there's a section of bitumen about 100mts long through it . BTW I carted logs out of there when I 1st started . I assume we all know what BTW means ? @Rossco ?

Repaired the flare and torn tabs broken last weekend, also fixed the dent in the drivers side plastic scuff pad and polished out the panel dent so its hardly noticeable. Removed the 200a/hr battery that dropped a cell, also on the same weekend as the flare damage, and now looking for a replacement, thinking along the lines of the Optima D31T, probably 2 of them. Should have enough grunt for the rear winch and also run the fridge and coffee machine nicely.

Thanks for that, they are not far from , maybe 10 minutes. Can't see a CCA rating though - this is part of the 'picture' to some degree. Vehicle can sit on maintenance charge for a couple of months and not move, then out we go and give the battery a work out for a weekend and back to sleep. Concerned about sulphation, and yes use a CTEK charger plus an addition de-sulphation device as well. No doubt a few bucks for this monster so need to be sure its the right one and that my 'useage style' does not kill it prematurely. I will give the office a call in the morning and have a chat.

That little pinch was an eye-opener for me as the vehicles simply crawled up it yet it was difficult to walk up. I also went straight up but had the benefit of Darren guiding me - was headed for the chicken track until firmly directed back up the ugly bit. These patrols are incredible beasts. Another great weekend, and walked away with more confidence and skills I believe.

Not much going to be happening to the trol for a little while. It's a a point where it's doing what it needs to do.

Time to put some coin and time into the R8. Want to get it registered and looking schmick before the end of the year.

Let’s see if this works

If you call, Ask for Albert and I will email him to let him know. I work in Qld
That battery has a cca rating of 987 cca
If it’s let sit on the Ctek that should be fine as they go into hibernation after 10 days. We often sell these for emergency generators so they sit on float charge mostly in that application. We also have a Gel version
