SupporterGot my towbar back from the galvanisers last week and found some time on Sunday to fit it up. Looking forward to hitching up my tandem next week and seeing how it tows on the new ball. The No5 fits well but just have to wire up the new 7 pin socket first before I tow the tandem.

Unrelated but is that an RFSV running 255/85R16 on "Wolf" rims? If so, can you fit both spares on the back [inflated/deflated doesn't matter]???
Cheers

SupporterEnded up doing an oil and filter change on the RFSV and also my Polaris MV700 before I bolted up the towbar. Plus I am a bit unorganised with my tools and seem to have to look through a few crates to get the right spanners etc.That's a lot of tools for a couple of bolts

SupporterYes it is an RFSV on Wolf 255/85R16's. No you can't fit two 255/85R16 spares on the back but you can fit one underneath and one on the back. Haven't ried it out with both deflated though! It might be possible.

A tad over engineered I suspect. You'll be able to tow a Mack with that.
Looks great.

With clutch slave replacement consuming the remainder of my spare time bdfore travel, was forced to pay my patient mechanic to replace the pinion shaft seal.
So I guess this is more like "what I had done to my perentie today".

Tell your mechanic he needs to top up the hydraulic oil in his lift.
and check the rating, most 2 post lifts are only 2.5T which is cutting it close on a perentie with a full load of fuel/tools & winch.
Hope your trip goes well.

Jerries were both empty, half tank of fuel and very little on board for that very reason.
Just noticed the oil, will mention it.
We did find that the original seal had been inserted askew, and had caused it to scrub out.
He manufactured a tool to insert it squarely - diff still had plenty of oil, so had not been leaking long.
rather glad I paid him to do it, as I simply would not have had the time, and likely would have had to do it in the field en-route.
also met a 6X6 driver today who lives locally - that's 2 other locals that have perenties now.
