What did you do to your Puma today?

Washed mine,absolutely covered in crap inside and out from the Trans access line.Only had it serviced 25 days ago and it's already done 10,200km's since then,and it's dragging the camper to Kalbarri in two days for another weeks holidaying:D.Mine lost boost a week back,the boost sensor was oiled up,I'd suggest everyone buy some MAF cleaner and give yours a clean,a dead simple 3 minute job.I also re-wired my fridge,I ran designated 6mm wires up from the rear battery through Anderson plugs to the fridge,it used to go into low voltage fault,all good now and since the motor is now run in and de-cated I get 1000km's range from the main tank with 46ltre sub,1900km's with main tank,sub tank and 100ltr polly overload tank.Happy with that.

I've got a D4 now Justin, for better or worse... :o The Cook hates me even more now, but I'm loving it.

I'm starting to get very excited as my Rough Parts Gull Wing/Storage boxes/Fold down Max Trax holders and tables are in Brissy, just waiting on Customs documents from the sender. They don't like German apparently.
I think I'll do a photo essay on the fitting of these and post up as a separate thread for any one interested.
This is going to be sweet!

I might swing past customs and claim them.....

You might have to take $450 as I bet I will need to pay import costs once they get the invoice from Switzerland.
Bloody expensive but great kit.

Today I fitted my Puma Slick Shift.
I haven't driven the truck yet, but you can tell that gear selection is far more direct and positive now.
Great mod, and easy to fit.
One tip, if you follow the mounting video on You Tube, go very easy with the electrical tape on the selector shaft (anti vibration fix) as it may interfere with fitting your gear stick.
Highly recommended.
Best wishes all.

I've been waiting for you to fit this. I'm interested to get your opinion. I thought they recommended silicone to fix the vibration.

Hi Marty.
The video I used by Shabs in the U.K. (Syncro Gearbox fame) shows him using electrical tape and lashings of grease.
I used silicone rescue tape, lots of grease, and couldn't get my gear stick back on. It's hammering down hear in Innisfail at the moment, so first thing tomorrow, I'll remove the tape and just try refitting with grease on the new metal shaft. OEM is plastic, and just as per the video, the plastic ball on my selector had a large crack and wear on it. 100,000kms use.
I'm not sure about using silicone o the gear stick as it would be near impossible to remove for future access to the selector/gear Box work etc.
I'll let you know how I go tomorrow, and my experience on the road.
Best wishes Marty.

Do you happen to know what security is involved with this? Wondering if anything prevents someone from nicking the Maxtrax. And I presume a key or something locks the window from opening?

Looks sweet

G'day Ray.
Yes, all keyed and apparently good quality locks. You can lock the Max Trax in each corner (4) if you so wish. Just as secure as any other device.
I'm assuming it can all be keyed alike.
