It has seen some pretty awful tracks though, but travelling thise tracks at around 3.1t isn't ideal...:-P

I dunno.. Lara was pushing 3.2-3.4t when loaded to get away..

Spent some shed time today.
Bolted the Fyrlyts and UHF antenna on.Have ran the coax cable to the front passenger seat.Need to find some way of fixing the Icom remote unit under the seat,there is a plate under there.




Andrew

A win and a fail today.
Firstly the win. Icom UHF is installed,head unit under passenger seat,mike/contrller adjacent to starter button.Was an easy instal.
The fail.I bought a cheapo $30.00 tablet mount from Ebay,gosneck style that is bolted to seat rail.The Samsung has to be forced into the cradle,despite them saying it fits on the website.It vibrates excesively and wont hold the Samsung steady,it flops down like a factory mirror on an early holden 1 tonner.
Need to look into a better way of fixing it.
I put Metroview on the tablet,seems to work OK.Its a bit out there with its settings.We now have 3 Caltex roadhouses in town,one is actually the Post Office.Woolshed is now at the Pub and when I turned onto Narrogin Rd I was advised the speed limit is 130kmh

Hi Andy,
A opportunity to try out top gear..........bonus

For anything that large I'd be fitting a RAM mount.
Takes up a fair bit of real estate!
I use a Nexus 7 up on the dash, up where you can see without taking your eyes off the road for long.

Andrew,
Is the bracket for the ICOM screwed in or double sided tape?
