come back after several months not logging in.... first thread i read... NOT DISSAPOINTED!!!!!
btw, I spent a RIDICULOUS amount of time in choosing a new boat for my Jimny to get under the 350kg unbraked tow limit. Glad I did, it'd be a nightmare any heavier.

About 1500kg. (What it does) Anyways. I'm doing a little bit of work to muffin this week. Adding another leaf to the packs, changing the bearing seals 2 boat ones And a small digital volts gauge so I can keep a eye on the battery when camping.

So as usual im getting set for another big trip away! this time we are going as far north as hamilton island (well the land part) so i have started to prep the camper up, i FINALLY have 2x sets of mags with 215s on them! so now my camper actually matches my jimny! i have also added a gas strut inside the tent to hold it on its own, so for quick camping i dont need tent pegs. i have also started to install 12v water pump with an outlet in the kitchen. all for now, more soon
