Thread: What did you do on your Perentie Today.

Auxfire,
I'm wondering if your hitch mounts directly to the Chassis or if it has what looks like a plate mounted/welded on that the hitch mounts to?

I'm trying to figure out a way to get an adjustable hitch on my Perentie as it's currently too high for my needs ........

Cheers,
JRW

Just need to sort out an adaptor from the NATO plug to 7 pin & can tow anything

Does anybody know where to get an adaptor from the NATO plug to 7 pin or do you have to make one up ??

They're not available pre made commercially. You'll have to make one up or buy one someone else has made. I made one up0 and also installed a socked on my Landrover.
The sockets do appear on ebay from time to time and I believe you can still buy them from Hella or Narva new.

Having said that, check out these guys:

I looked at this option for a while to make my own adaptor but gave up based on the cost of the 12pin adaptor required. I instead just installed a metal Narva 7 pin connector underneath in the corner of the spare wheel and wired that into the appropriate circuits. works a treat and doesn't change the look of the back and the 12 pin is still available for a No 5 trailer. I just made up a 500mm cable with a 7 pin M/F connectors as an extension to get under to the plug. The standard black metal socket bracket from Narva also fits well and you just loosen the two bolts holding the rear number and the sockets fits on the back if you use slightly longer bolts. No drilling required.

Installed a remote engine immobiliser. Only took me 3 days and approx. 2kg worth of cable ties.

As a consequence of this particular immobiliser not liking the Perentie ignition sequence, I also now have a bonus "Push to Start" button.

The key start position is now just for "glowing" (if ever required).

I can now park the truck in shopping centres without the acute paranoia kicking in.

(The medication is also helping).

Well I suppose there is allways the chance of a thief walking around with an Isolator lever as per army issue. (Hope not) I take mine out when not driving.
