Thats what commonly referred to as a cranky old bast#$d. Dunno why though he seems nice to me.

Thanks mate cant complain so far. Absolutely rapt to be honest. We looked at alot of brands and models but looking at bang for buck we couldnt pass it up. Others might be better built, but we couldn't see it or the price diff. We won't be going hardcore touring( 100s of ks of corrogations) so it should suit us fine.

A couple more photos from the weekends camping. Its a pretty standard Jayco outback unit. Full Kakadu awning Bed Fly Jayco battery pack - still trying to work out what size battery 90 ltr water tank Already I've added front pole holder aerial and tv for the footy Still to add Kitchen side awning second gas bottle holder toolbox for chainsaw and fuel electric water pump and tap on draw-bar Beats tent and tarp camping hands down. 6 degrees on Monday morning - nice and warm inside. Must admit though I do miss my swag, but would feel silly sleeping in it when there is a nice comfy bed in the van.

Hey Toppy were you running the 6inch lift the day of the show and shine meetup down the bay.

Haha im hearing you. Last time i tried to give up my missus went and bought me a pack so i would shut up. I dont get females shes the one that nagged me to give up for 20 years.

Don't know why but I seem to be angry all the time lately. So I'm starting a club #1

4.2s are for people with no sense of adventure.. Every day with a 3ltr is a big adrenaline rush, every noise rattle boost spike or fall really gets that heart a pounding.

Lol. Just think of it this way. Its a patrol and its worth it and no other vehicle looks as good on the road or in the bush.

Finaly pulled a screw out of one of my tyres and put a bung in (month and a half of wife pumping the tyre up at the servo every week ). Geez those mtzs are hard. Have only done small car tyres before and their a piece of cake.

I know how you feel. I've got a couple of big trips coming up and its always in the back of your mind with a 3ltr. $ 7200 doesnt sound too bad for a full rebuild compared to some that have handed over alot more. Don't get me wrong its still a f#cload of money to shell out though and I'm not looking forward to having to do it at some point. Glad to hear you've got it all sorted though.

Mate being a motley crew member you must be brissy south somewhere. You aren't interested in building another rear bar are you? It looks awesome. Wouldn't mind the rear door table either......

I reckon they would as my 33s( close enough to) on full lock and a bit of flex( reversing out of driveway) do.

Only pic i have at the moment.

After 20 years of tent camping we purchased a Jayco camper last weekend. We are off to Bestbrook farmstay this weekend for its maiden voyage. Picks will follow on Monday once I get some, plus all the info on it. I'll do a right up of bestbrook with some piccies and costs in trips and treks aswell.

Hi Cairns, was the $7200 the final tally. Was it a tow in drive out build or did you do some work yourself ( motor extraction etc). Cheers

Very nice setup mate. Where were the last 3 photos taken if you dont mind me asking. (looks messy)

Nice work dronus. Once you have finished this one do you reckon you could do the stereo swap on here. Your thread in the other forum is a good one.

A pad whore
