Hello
« on: January 11, 2013, 01:23:32 PM »
Hi everyone, new to the 4WD and CT world, just purchased myself a TD GXL 150 Prado and a Jayco Eagle Outback. Looking forward to getting out and about and modifiying the 150 and CT to suit our needs.

Any other Rockhampton locals on here.

Cheers
Brad

Hi Brock05

Welcome to the friendliest place on the web, good sounding setup you have there but you will quickly learn around here
 :worthles:

Are you planning any big trips, or just spending a while on local trips getting used to it all.

Glad to have you aboard

Hi Bunyip,
We will primarily be doing small trips this year in order to nail down our set up for a few bigger trips in 2014. Have done dual batteries, towbar, brake controller, anderson plug etc. Still need to do rear airbags, uhf, compressor etc on the Prado. Jayco doesn't need to much besides some solar at some stage, an extra water tank with electric pump with a drawbar tap. SWMBO has requested an upgrade to the standard mattress aswell which i do agree with.

Cheers
Brad

Thanks for the comments guys.

Bushbandit, I still have my Brock, will dig some pics out and post them up.

P.s. if anyone happens to have a kitchen awning to suit an 09 Jayco eagle for sale let me know.
