Look @ wot ??????

Only got the car back this morn from panel beaters haven't fitted or finished anything new yet

Weeping at Weipa this week. Busted a shocky on the corrugations. $500 for a pair of rear old man emus units. Most expensive Woolworths store in Aus. Petrol is $2.54 ltr. My tanks hold 212 lts, so it is an expensive fill. First mobile/internet service for several weeks now. Dual batteries, isolator, fridge etc all working perfectly. Accessory batt goes flat in a day and a half, running the fridge but main battery is full as a boot. Marvels of modern technology - no manual isolator switch required. Queenfish, barra, turrum, squiddlies (I have learnt to pick them up without getting bitten), cast nets etc. All good fun. A 12lb outfit can't hold enough line to stop a decent GT, as i found out.

Comon KKW... i think your trip deserves its own thread and some pics!!!

It will come when I get time and a stable connection.

why was it in the panel beaters

Paul

Have you ever seen him drive?

Fed was showing me how to reverse into his driveway & 4got to tell me about this tree

If you don't have a picture then it didn't happen.

Did take a picture but didn't come out cause of this big shinny blurr

Cant believe how lazy i've been of late
Did pull my finger out last week for a few days & started making thingy's for back of Navara
Started fittings them up today in a very 1/2 hearted way i'm blaming the cold bloody cold today

Should have it all in 2morro as long as it's not cold again then i'll sheet checker plate floor which is allready bent up then it's just the side panels left to do

Looking good mate where's the dog box going?

Just returned from 2 months travelling up to the top of Aus. Got bigger tyres than standard, dual batteries, a set of drawers for the rear of the wagon and roof racks. Had a great time and travelled the Old Telegraph Track. No wonder it took 3 weeks to get there in the old days. Creek crossings, one lane track and corrugations. The track was actually smoother to drive on than the 'new' development road. Busted a read Bilstein shock on the way up. No mechanics or spares to fix it in Seisia or Bamaga. Did the OTT with one rear shock. Lucky I also had air bags on the back. It did dance across the road on curves, thanks to the deep and constant corrugations. A few pics.

And some more. Big pigs up there.

Sand, mud, heat & 2 fish... I'd rather stick a needle in my eye.

kk did ewe have a big big breakfast day 5th last pic was taken ?

An awefull lot of leanon drivers side of car

Yeah, but not me driving and not my car. Always pays to walk the creek yourself instead of listening to others advice. The water was muddied from a previous car and they told Mark the best track was to keep one wheel on the hard rock. I went through after this pic and just kept in the water. Was only up to the top of the bumper and flat. I actually lost weight on the trip. Almost as slim as you now. Almost, I said......

kk did you take a bang stick along to help catch some of that pork ??????????????????


Paul

What you on about poly ???

That was kk wearing a black jumper

Finally pulled my finger out & finished it off
Now have an extra 75 litres of fuel tank bigger than what comes standard with car

Thought i'd get the roll bar thingy painted added brackets for up top spotty's & a pair of directional LED's

Now you'll have to empty your water separator twice a week instead of once a week you goose.
