My man tony down in the man cave as I type replacing the shocks and springs on the patrol.  He loves his hoist and air rachet ;D cheers rellbell

He finished that job, god he's good and then he fitted the tyre sensors to the trailer tyres. He got  to use his high lift jack, what a man.  I so proud :-*. Cheers rellbell

What did I do today?

Nothing!

Much to the wifes dissapointment, I spent the day on teh couch doing nothing, taking it easy and generally being lazy.

Some days it just has to be done.

Webbing harness to secure the 4.5kg gas bottle on theroofrack.
I designed, cut and pinned. Brony sewed.

$35 for webbing and buckles sure beats what ARB are asking for their version.

LOL Just what the world needs, is another back yarder building sliders and tube bars ;)

Problem with them is they are so time consuming to build. I spent the best part of 10 hours yesterday just to do the metal work. Ill no doubt spend up to another 10 hours during the week making it all pretty and presentable. It may not have taken so long if I was using all new steel, but I was using off cuts and scraps so it made the job a bit longer and messier.

Anyway add up time, steel,  consumables, and finishing it nicely, it probably owes me close to $800 if I had to pay myself!

I did think about adding to the 'back yarder world' but Id have to make half a dozen of them at once I think to keep them affordable........so I quickly decided not to do it ;)

No not yet but I have always only kept the original sized tyre on the back so maybe that has helped?

Jimmy, when about half way through I said to Brony that I could get Lost to model it as a suspenders belt if he had to do the 'nude up ' thing to dissuade others vfrom camping too close to our group next weekend.
Now THAT would be a definite case of  :worthles:  !!!   :cheers:

nah mate, a back yarder is an unqualified person doing the job for money at his home.  Probably a bit harsh calling a qualified tradesman a backyarder ;)

Although when I was younger I used to paint cars at home for extra cash, and as a qualified person I still considered myself to be back yarding because I was doing it for cash away from my actual work!

After our last trip away into the High Country with the Kamper on and the bikes loaded onto the Kimberley they copped a fair bit of dust. So it was out with the tape measure and I then put SWMBO to work.....

The result....The Fork'n Bar Bra!!!   ;D
