Upgrade done to the Cruiser.

Post by Chuck »

On monday the Cruiser went into the local ARB mob - Penrith - to install a standard bull bar - without the 'fog lights' thanks - along with a more robust suspension & a fridge slide on a shallow drawer in the rear compartment. The completed makeover was ready to collect at lunchtime on the Tuesday & first impression was it looked about 20mm taller in the front & maybe 35mm in the rear. All good & the ride was about 300% better than the slap-dash rear end adjustment I'd had done to bring back the van from Sale, Vic.

This morning it was taken down to Action Communications on the GWH at Kingswood for the fitting of the GME UHF radio & antennae... the fitting inside an hour to their usual excellent standard. This is the 3rd unit I've had them supply & fit over the years.

Next Monday the tug & van get the rear vision monitor & cameras fitted then on Tuesday the battery/power source/folding solar panels for the Engel.

And that should be it!

Van's full.

Tug will be full.

Bank's empty! :oops: :cry: :lol:

Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
