Hi cewilson,
Actually, I've got more than 5. Some have tyres, some not.

As I said, you're welcome to them for the delivery cost.

Best Wishes,
Peter

That would be brilliant. It might be easier for you if the next time I come up I just drop by? But I'm more than happy to work in with you.

Thanks

Sounds good. However, I'm not always home, so give me as much lead time as you can.

How many are you wanting?

Best Wishes,
Peter

Will do. I'll bring a drink or two up - what do you drink?

If you have them, 6 would be great - that would keep me with 2 spares. But I also don't want to sound ungrateful or selfish.

Cheers

6? Done!

My drink is Laphraoig (sp?), but I can't afford it and so I don't expect you to.

Keep in touch,
Peter

Hi cewilson,
On re-reading my post it sounded like that I hoped you got me that "stuff". That's not true and *please* forget that I mentioned it.

I'm happy to see that the wheels go to a good LR application.

Best Wishes,
Peter

Well it had it's first decent trip with us. It was behind the Prado though, so it was treated gently due to the lack of capability compared to the Defender

Overall I am genuinely happy in how it went. It certainly made lunch stops very easy, and there was more than enough room for the family overnight. The wife was happy after the trip so that was a big bonus


Brindabella Valley for lunch


McIntyre's Hut


For the full trip report please have a look at the NSW/ACT trip report area.

I'm going to make a bracket similar to the one the kitchen is on for the front of the trailer (hanging off of the door). This will house the 80 litre Waeco and the little generator (I carry it for my son's asthma machine).

Once I've wired that in then to be honest I'm pretty much happy with how it is at the moment. I'm planning on doing a few more trips as soon as I can. that's for sure.

Cheers
Chris

Nice to hear and see the Trak Shak is doing the business for you and the family.

We're in the market for one too at the moment. I've just recently been made redundent here in NZ so we're going to jump on a plane to Aussie, buy a Landie and a Trak Shak and spend a year driving around the big country. With the two kids, the Trak Shak seems to be the front runner for us.

But as you say, they do seem to be hard to come by and are expensive. It's even harder when you're buying from across the Tasman.

Anyway, good luck putting your's into action.

Cheers, LandieMan.
