Started on the wiring for my mates patrol.
Put into the pioneer AVH-X3500dab, front component speakers, rear coaxial speakers, amp, power wiring to the rear and started on the custom woofer enclosure to mount the two 8” woofers and amp.
Still got the remote entry, reverse camera, UHF, headrest touch screens and dual batteries to go.

Cheers

Or do your jobs here as well whilst eating cob loaf I can help Andrew with the winch you shouldn't help others at the expense of your own things  ;) even though we do really appreciate it.

Now that sounds like a plan  :cup:

With my cars, its more a lack of motivation more than anything haha. I did fix that bush yesterday though, so now my steering wheel stays in one place until I want to turn it  ;D
buuuuuuuuuuuuut, I think I will be able to smell the cob loaf from here on sunday, so I think I will be heading down your way........  ;D

Taught a few universal remote controls to be able operate the led's on the ct, So rather than having 3 remotes to operate Inside tent,annex and on trailer they can operate all off one remote and I won't have to worry when one gets lost  :D

Sounds like a ripper idea.

Why do people ask "What the hell were you thinking?"
Obviously I was thinking I was going to get away with it and not have to explain it....

Good for late night walks  / loo runs in the middle of the night, lying in a nice warm bed on a winters night press of the remote lights are on/off ,,the biggest one for me was the cost,, under 50bux to setup including the lights

(ps- where did you get them?)     ;D

Berlitza , that will be oxidization of the gal , don't breath the dust in its mildly toxic ..


I've cut a new gasket for the inlet manifold pipe that crosses the top of the 1hz and fitted new timing cover gasket , daughter will bring new air filter home this arvo and the old girl will be good to roll again.

cheers

I turned an old trampoline frame into a canopy frame for a 6x4 trailer years ago. That would mean though you would need a 6x4 trailer and despite what "you know who" might try and say, I don't have a spare sorry  ;D

Well, it wasn't a man shed, but it was most definitely a cave, in every sense of the true word.  Fifteen of us sat, with the Elders, and discussed the best way to go about doing some things, which included what I was distressed about.  It is a no go for women, but in this instance women cannot go there under any circumstance, in accordance with our law.  They do have their area where we cannot go as well.
One of the better decisions was to continue sharing, and maybe allowing people to see we are nothing like the black rubbish in towns.
