Thread: What did you do on your Perentie Today.

If you decide to buy a combination pintle hook and ball you have to take into account that if you use existing mount its a long way off the ground
but there is an upside if you are launching a boat just undo the shackle and the boat will launch itself

Finally got around to making a decent towbar for Brutus, my 6X6. Used a s/h towbar from a Nissan Patrol coil cab ute (hush my mouth) that I purchased at the local dump shop. Had to cut and mod it a bit but it's all done now. I think it will handle a bit of stump pulling and towing the Sharkcat Tomorrow I have to fit the wiring for the 7 pin connector and it's all done.

First up will be a trip to the bolt shop for some longer bolts then?

Ha Ha, I knew someone would pick that up. Going into town this morning and have a trip to the bolt shop planned! I had a rummage around through my spare tin of bolts when I fitted it and the only ones I could find weren't plated or the correct grade. While I am there I will get a couple of links for the pto chain and modify that in the near future while I am checking the intermediate shaft and adding a 1 piece shaft setup to the centre diff.

Today I changed the engine oil.
While I was under there I took a pic of the gearbox showing the clearance the Isuzu hydraulic pump has from the chassis rails.
I seem to remember someone commenting on that once.

Has anyone seen a complete front axle assembly for a 6x6 come up for sale in the auctions?
If so how much do they bring?
I would like to buy a spare to strengthen up without taking this truck off the road and swap over later on.
