I’m pretending that doesn’t ever happen.

This one? And no, it hasn’t happened to mine.



Today was another cannonball run.

Parcel from Sydney wouldn’t get here in time for the Big bore shoot tomorrow so a run to Adelaide to TNT, side trip into Bunnings and then a stop off at Adelaide Gun Shop for some supplies and back home again.

Once again faultless, avg Speed 104km/h and avg Fuel 10.8l/100km (calibrated).

Distance covered 862km

Not bad for 3.06t

Actually weighed it the other day, fully loaded for a big trip. Tad heavier in the rear.

Made some brackets to fit my awning to the pioneer tray, yesterday I painted the new rails to match the rack.

Fitted 2 new timken front wheel bearings, and what a difference to the cheap ones.

Returned home from a 3,000km odyssey up the WA coast to Cape Range NP, towing a camper trailer.

Lots of landies on the road, plenty of waves, though they did thin out a bit once we left the tarmac - usual toyota brigade out there.

No bongs, errors or warnings with a single exception - low coolant. The cooling system was drained and refiilled when the intakes were replaced, so now suffers from a sunken float. Will get onto that shortly.

No idea how the fuel burn went, though it won't be pretty - trailer was heavy, headwind was strong, and time was against us (meaning no casual 80km/hr cruising here)

Oh, the carplay system I installed was faultless - well worth the frig around for anyone interested. The red LEDs I installed for reading lights (thanks Tombie) worked perfectly too - kids had ambient light in the back at night without distraction.
