Moreton Island
Well as you asked... it went really well through Simpson Desert (east to west, QAA and French lines, trip report to follow when I get time) then up through Central Australia and around to Mt Isa and Longreach. Got flatbedded back from Barcaldine. Engine warning light/limp mode. Still undiagnosed, so it’s going nowhere presently🙁. I’m pretty philosophical about it. It happened on the way home to Brissie and not in the middle of the desert... Oh, the air conditioning also failed as we discovered around Tennant Creek when the right hand dash vent was blowing hot air at me on a 35 degree day. But I still would not have wanted to do the trip and n any other vehicle.
This is our 110, built by Jock the Rock and bought by us earlier this year, already done a stint on the big island towing our offroad van (now sold), and it has been a fantastic vehicle, it has a 4bd1 turboed and intercooled, LT95, Detroit Truetrac in the rear, ARB locker in the front, Hy-Tuff axles etc etc. Really well set up by Jock.
We have put in Renalt Scenic rear seats, utilising thier functionality by making a frame as per the original vehicle, so 30 second clip in and out, with a floor section to replace rear seats and having a flat platform in the rear in under a minute. Overall we are very happy 😃

Finally got around to modifying the Hayman Reece Swingout Tyre Carrier. Hated the way u had to install a locating pin everytime u opened the rear door. So, made a slight mod to install a spring-loaded pin. Hopefully, it will make things a bit easier....
