Best help ever. Thanks Wow! Thanks for all the trouble you went to SimoNav. Can't wait to get over to the shed and take a gander at my non working cruise. Hard to stay on right side of law when cruise is cactus.

Got the guys ARB Rockhampton to send me over a 2.5 x 2m rollout awning by Followmont transport. Good effort by both firms. Arrived Emerald overnight.Had it fitted by afternoon. Tested it and took pix. Even our dog mate Spanner likes it as hid drink bowl stays cooler and so does he. Awning takes...

ARB rollout awning fitted to the ARB load bearing roof rack. ARB instructions booklet was well done with photos and information. Thanks guys. Yes, our dog mate Spanner likes the shade and his drink stays cooler. (Mine is cool in the Engel fridge) No downside to having the quality awning up there. No

ARB rollout awning fitted to my ARB load bearing roof rack.

Love the quality of the ARB products. The guys at ARB Rockhampton sent my awning out the 270ks to the Followmont depot in Emerald. Great service by both parties. Overnight. Easy job to fit it to my ARB load bearing roof rack (I stand on it to take photos). Makes no noise at highway speeds. Did my fi

The headlight switch which allows us to adjust the beam up or down was not used as a selling point, yet, is magic as we load and unload the rear. I found mine quite by accident. Thanks re tip on headlight delay. New to me. Can't wait to try it. The tie down rails are great even without the alloy...

Thanks for the tip. Crows wreck our blades as they look at them ugly selves in the mirror and get syked up. I tried it but it never worked for me plus my teeth are not that good ;-)

Thanks K. My re-cycled structural form ply is more like 15mm. As I always travel with others with a few clues, I only need the basic recovery kit and like to have some weight at rear for less bucking. If I need to carry big stuff local, the trailer is the go. Camp trips the Aussie Swag does the...

Thanks OT. Yes,plenty room for my spare battery just forward of the fridge and rear of the top shelf. Got a magic multi LED 12v light from our local Emerald Jaycar sub agent. Their magnets we not suitable to grab the ARB support pipe (for load bearing roof rack.Me) so ditched them and had some...

Was looking for funds to get pro drawer for D40. As I found I had all the materials in our sheds, decided to DIY instead. Can now use the $1200 or so for a 2" ARB etc lift and real shockers. Mate gave me unwanted marine carpet to finish it all off. I re-cycled some re-cycled steel RHS and some...

Hey K R A F T Y ! Eye am over the moon. Dinkum! Guess what? Thanks to you oh Krafty one, I found the 'G' spot. Magic! How clever is that? Seems you may have retired the great Cherokee XJ for a D40. Same as me. Love the rig. Would not change a thing. Got it for our dog Spanner, but seems he...

My D40 d/cab. A great rig out side but I want to get inside. The problem. My new Engel 240v r/angle plug into base of fridge is a lousy connection. Is supposed to take over powering when 240v lead plugged in while the vehicle 12v one is still alive. While it looked like the 240v was powering...

One of the most rewarding projects I have ever done as now we have lost no space at all but gained lots on the floor. Our dog mate'Spanner' travels in here some times, but not often, considering we mainly got this rig to carry him on our trips. He has no bad habits so gets to ride in the dual cab on

Not the first time I have done this project. In 1981 I did the same but got a guy in Brisbane (we lived there) to fold some steel for me. We used that shelf for some 15 years. That was on our Diahatsu F-55 diesel pickup that we added a canopy from the Flexeglass guys at Slacks Creel area.

Cost of this project. Zero. All the material came from a false floor I made for my Jeep Wrangler years ago. Loved 'firing' the air pop riveter to fit the 3/16" steel fasteners. Magic feel of pulling the trigger and the power crushes the two surfaces together. Project came together well as I was

That's the way to go I may re-cycle my Rhino Rack off another rig. The bolt on cross rails I had made from 50 x 25 steel RHS so easy to modify. Rhino is a bit wider than I would like. Maybe it can be cut down as it looks like a kit type unit. I got ARB quotes but the items don't match by part...

Safety first. Bit hard to back into anything now as extremely wide angle lens shows it all. Even shows the actual tow ball as I reverse onto the trailer. I should fit an over-ride switch so I can watch tail gaters. Even video them. Mmmmm! That's a thought. Remembering of course, the extreme wide ang

Got ARB one Magic Yeah I saw a series of pix on ExplorOz of Desert Pete & Lyn's white Navara with the ARB one with lift up glass. Ordered one from ARB Rockhampron Q and they did a magic fitting job. Ordered it for our dog Spanner so got lift up glass on passenger side & slider on dog side...

Might sing a bit ? If tubular thin wall E-W rail, they may sing a bit against a head wind. Back when tube steel roof racks (rubber cups/gutter clamps) first came out, we know someone who had the tranny pulled out of a new Holden trying to stop a singing noise. After two trips to workshop...

Are you the same guy had the beautiful white Jeep Cherokee XJ (same as mine) and have great pic of you and all our other Jeeps on the beach with the SCJC outing. Like to re join that group for my 2000 TJ Wrangler as we are moving down that way very soon.
