Thread: What did you do on your Perentie Today.

I will put it on jackstands next year when i return from holidays. Ive got a spare box but im sure it needs tierod ends and a good checking over. I'll take it off the road for a couple of days and do it all

I took a few minutes this afternoon to remove and inspect the lunette from my number 5 trailer.

Got a little further into things than expected.

Looks like the grease was about 25 years old. All parts now soaking in degreaser overnight befor a scrub, clean and re-greasing tomorrow.

Suspect the grease nipple is stuffed too.

Looks like I may visit my local engineering works in the next few days and make a mod to allow the ring to spin 360.

Then I can get rid of the ankle buster pintle hitch on the Perentie and put a combination pintle ball on it.

Finally installed the electronic speedo today.

All you need is the hall effect sender (YBE100530) some 3 core cable and a brake light plug from a Disco 2.

Easy to calibrate, we got it spot on first try.

BadCo,


Very nice upgrade.
How much was it if you don't mind me asking?


Regards,

This is where I got the gauge from.

Transducer is linked above, then just some 3 core cable which I had laying around.

As for doing 105kms/hr, mine will do that, but as you say, it will be screaming it's head off and I don't want to murder my baby !!' and I've checked the speedo against the god and I think 110 on the speedo is 100km it real time.

So really prob keep playing with it till I get it right

I would suggest that if you are carrying that weight your gearing is perfect the4BT powers up to 8 ton trucks you have that weight on a ute.

I did something a little more mundane anf fitted a 19 inch LED bar as backup lighting.

I used 3x 45mm wrap around gme antenna brackets to mount it.

In the process of inserting the self-drilling screws, I seem to have miss-alligned it.

Guess I have half a day ahead of me with an allan key...

Too hot to do anything else today:
