An amateure 50 watt vhf/uhf/am air band is not very legal when one is still awaiting their licence.Quote:

the acma set the power limit for the uhf cb band plan to a max of 5 watts.
And the 5 watt extension speaker overhead solves that. Also I try not to push mine past 80 - top speed for 4th gear according to specs, and I'm not in a hurry to get anywhere.
I've actually fixed many of the rattles.

Have you got a normal GS drano?
I thought only the 6x6s were limited to 80.
Though I do find that the effort/concentration required to drive at 85-90 is significantly less than that required at 100.
Plus less noise.
The keys are a pest.
The proper blanks are Silca Ne26. They can use Ne38 but they need to cut them back on the sides so the key fits all the way into the lock.
I spoke to british 4x4 imports, they are sending me new lock barrels and 4 keys free of charge.Quote:

Got the radio mounted behind driver's seat today.
Also spotted a camo series 3 in town today. Not sure where he's heading.

Used CDL in anger for the first time.
Made it to a childhood campsite I haven't seen in 15 years.
A little overgrown after black saturday fires, and evidence of 4x4's that only made it out in peices.
Very impressed at the perentie's performance. I think I've learnt enough about this creature to take it over the high plains next month.
Found myself some new stalking grounds on the way too.

gave up on adjusting the clutch master cylinder and decided while the bonnet was off, I should put in the sound insulation that I've had sitting here for months.
Put a layer of this down on the flat parts of the bonnet
Then this over the top.
wow, what a difference. I'd say it's knocked off 20% of the noise putting around town and a good 40% on the highway.
The exhaust drone is now by far the loudest noise in the cab (until the wind grabs the canopy and gives it a good slap that is) and you can have a conversation past 80 km/hr!
Photos, please, Chris.Quote:
