Thread: Rear side pannels finished.

That looks great mate! Has definitely opened up the back!

A good option to those who don't use their parcel shelf!

It's it just you on the Fraser trip?

We've got three vehicles going, dad's 3.5 disco, and my brothers np pajero - so it should be an easy run.

The only issue may be at inskip point if we get a ferry on the high tide, as with the camper we'll be nearing 3.5 tonne......

Should be a good trip!

Remember - tyre pressure is king.

Yeh, I don't bother experimenting with pressures anymore.
Straight to 16 on the car and 8 on the trailer, though I've used pressures as low as 8 on the car before.

Usually 18 and 20 when in the high country though - a few more rocks there.

I don't think we'll have a problem.

You've got it sorted! If it gets really soft I'd go lower. Remember to watch your speed @ 16psi!

Nice job but what's the steel frame thingy on the right side for ?

Ta.

I believe it's a spare wheel holder

Yeh thats it Kiethy.

My lpg tank sits under the car where the wheel well was. The frame is better than nothing but I still don't like it, as I think the bosses would pull out of the floor in a severe accident.

I'm going to see Murray from Rijidij soon about his swing away kits.
