Thread: What did you do on your Perentie Today.

yep

Heh. I reccon I'd be reaching for the Ventolin too if my stick broke like that.

Today took my 8yo son for a cruise in the FFR around Heaton & Watagans.

Had fun descending a steep hill, only to find a dead end at the bottom. Getting back up the hill was a little more challenging.

PS, Have you noticed that photos or video really don't do justice to steep inclines?

I managed to break off a series 2 gearstick many moons ago & for extra strength I drilled out the base ( ball part) to the shaft diameter & inserted the gearstick, then welded. It was therefore about 20mm shorter but hardly noticeable.

I modified my jerrycans with a plate & embedded nut so that they are bolted to the carriers. They will be MT 99% of the time but look better than an empty carrier. I figured the average opportunistic thief won't work that out in a hurry. I'd love to see them trying to lift it out

Took the new toy on its first outing post-Army on a trip from Marysville to Walhalla via Matlock and some of the trig/service roads en route. Needless to say it performed very well (better than some of the new non-Landrovers). Will be replacing the canvas top at some stage though - we needed to wear waterproofs inside!

Unfortunately, my old County console was a bit too wide to fit in the Perentie so I used it as a template & got to work with some marine ply & the Triton saw bench. I made this one a bit higher so it doubles as an armrest. Does the job...

Where is the best place to get a new canvas for a Perentie as the one on a mates vehicle (GS) is very shabby on the top?

Cheers, Mick.

G'day Mick.
