Rod great shed mate. Gives me inspiration as I have a fair bit of machine gear in storage to fit not mine when I can organize it. The tool boxes definetly help.

Sorry not today but Wednesday. Fixed the problem of the hitch on the 200 being 125mm taller than the Expanda by making this riser block. Got it profile cut from 120 plate the cut it out and machined the rest.

Nice bit of engineering but why couldn't you use a drop hitch on the 200?

Thanks mate. Also some shelves in the garden shed helped get a bit of stuff out of my man cave...

Walked in, walked around, looked around. Then sat down.. It was nice just sitting there in silence watching the traffic go past in the distance.. No radio, no other noise and no one else.. Just nice..

Nobody makes them that low. Even the big arse forged HR ones, the closest HR do is 150mm and then you have nearly another 100mm hang further down. Even though the 200 is high a 250mm drop would become a plough at every minor dip in the road and servo entrances. Easiest fix would be to weld the plate to the top of the drawbar but Jayco stamp the VIN there! Do you know how much trouble it is to relocate a VIN?

Installed a set of LED spot lights of the rear of the patrol, re-wired a new plug in the rear and installed a Strip LED's on the rear barn door. There was no swearing, just pumped up the music and chilled out, whilst doing it. :)

Now there is a coincidence.  The name of the Cardiologist in Darwin was Dr Kangaron......any relation.
