Thread: What did you do on your Perentie Today.

And as for the ride, I'm researching kinetic suspension. It was developed by a chap in dunsborough, southwest WA. They have used the concept in the land cruiser Sahara and prado kakadu

As for the gearing figures if the transfer case I'm going to double check with the transmission people today and get some clarification so thanks for your advise.

Hi Tk Co . You have some interesting mods. Hope they go well.
In regard to your previous post above, have you researched the Kinetic suspension situation and can shed some light or point me towards other info please. on this forum or other. I have learnt they are Monroe. i am very interested in this for my Perentie also. Thanking you in advance.

A couple of weeks ago I was messing around with my Perentie and my grandson was helping me,he had some super cheap export tyre cleaner doing my tyres.A bit of over spray got on the guard I didn't,t bother getting it off a few days later I finally wiped it off it left a nice sheen not to shiny just took off that dead flat finish.I know it's a personal choice wether u like dead flat or a bit of a sheen.Just thought you blokes might be interested in it that's all. Cheers Bushy

Picked up a partner for my RFSV, ARN 154912 No 5 Trailer. Planning on doing a few simple mods like a spare wheel carrier on the draw bar and a mount for the tinnie and then looking forward to doing a bit of touring in the near future.

Regards Warrick.

It looks rather awkward to get to; probably not something you want to do with a freshly replaced hip!

Hope your recovery goes smoothly.

Maybe you want to retrofit air suspension to the Perentie, then the 110 can drop down to access height for you to get in instead of climbing up to the Perentie!

Is that one of the trailers Brian B brought over from Sydney?

Did a couple of things on the perentie yesterday -adjusted the handbrake which had been much too loose and kept sticking-easy job made a lot easier by removing centre base between seats to access the adjusting nuts.The other issue i really wanted to tackle was my dodgy fuel gauge- Checked connections on sender on tank and seemed fine- then checked the connections on back of gauge- managed to break off one of the plastic light globe holders on back of speedo in the process of removing the instrument panel-very annoying! Anyway no loose connections there -must be the sender unit itself which is a bummer as had hoped for an easy/cheap fix!
