Thread: What did you do on your Perentie Today.

Fitted new speedo cable and re-fitted dash.
Broke one if the light fittings on the speedo but managed to rescue it.
Next is the footwell rust...

My speedo and I suspect many others reads high by 5km/hr with the standard 7.50 16 tyres. 100 on the dial is a true 95km/h as per the GPS. This is something to consider when working out economy figures. Also if you're actually doing 95 and not a true 100 +, the highway fuel economy will be noticeably better due to wind resistance increasing exponetially with speed. I think this is part of the reason why a fairly wide range of fuel economy figures get quoted.

Mine is in the mid to high 11's when sitting on a true 100-110 km/h. I can get it into the 10's when cruising on lower speeds.

Hello all,
I recently became a proud owner of a new Perentie 6x6.
Today I found a pintle hitch in the bin, flogged out and rusted. So I manufactured new oversize greasable pins, cleaned up all the rust and shimmed the tongue to take up the slop. She's a smooth operator now. Just waiting for the rig to return from the transmission shop where it's getting a rebuild, front oil seal repair (as it was leaking) and a new 996 hi range transfer gear. Leaving the 4.7 diffs in so low range will still produce massive torque

G'Day TK and welcome.
Nice rebuild work.
Any details on the high range conversion?

Installed a 24v inverter and ran a lead to a power board in the back left hand tool box also a couple of other picks of the boxes I picked up and one of the four speakers I mounted in ammo boxes

It won't let me upload multiple pics from my phone

It also seems to be placing the pics upside down?
