Mods to our Landcruiser

[Dot]

I feel an around the campfire discussion being held at Easter time

[Wilbor]

Because the vehicle wasn't ready yesterday as promised due to problems with another vehicle, they threw in a snatch strap and carry bag. Very happy with the service and price from Opposite Lock at Rothwell, Brisbane.

Snatch strap hey, always wise to have one in case you come across a bogged Patrol

Lesley is the ScanGuage the gauge for checking tyres while travelling? Bruce has just read all this & wanted to know. Made a comment abot something else but did not take too much notice- something to do with the diff!!!???

No Kay. It's to monitor fuel consumption and lots of other functions but nothing to do with tyres. This is the one we have. http://scangauge.com.au/?page_id=6

I'm not going to comment on that one Wilbor. I value our friendship with certain Patrol owners.

Hahahahah. The only vehicles that managed to get out of Gunshot Creek up the Cape without having to be winched or snatch strapped out were 2 PATROLS & 1 SAHARA!.

[Macca]

Why did that post twice- maybe to get my message across


ADMIN: removed one for you.

[BruceS]

Does anyone else have troubles with the controls mounted on the microphone on these modern 2 way radios?
Might be OK for the navigator but for the driver I find it hard to pick up & control it without activating 1,2 or more of the buttons. I'm wondering if an old pre-2000 mike might work or maybe snip a few wires with the side cutters?

[Macca]

Maybe because ours is so old that all we do is pick up, press talk button & that is it. Leave on Ch 40 with the small hand held on 18.

Lesley, re your preferance for a 100 Series, others may think the same...........

Just do not get annoyed when the vehicle is scratched as one fellow caravanner carried on when his new 100 series ( some years ago) had a small scratch, ( was adjacent to us in a CP) carried on as if it was the end of the world, these vehicles are meant to be taken off road.

Safe Travelling
