Guys, Guys, you're taking this all to seriously. You just start sorting and collecting a few things a couple of days out and then start packing the day before you leave. I'd go crazy counting the sleeps if I started packing too early.

I at least like to check over the camper and the Prado a week before hand.

Anytime mate, been a pleasure working on yours and all the other rigs that come through the garage most of them prados (inc. a rodeo and a foroza). But that suck up speech you just gave does't get you out of supplying the red!!!
Still need to get your 150 back into the garage to finish off the compressor, UHF, rear 100A fuse block and the fridge install. Just get your ARB bar sorted and your rear drawers and we'll be sorted for a quick finish before the GTG.Last edited by Matty80; 29-08-2012, 08:30 PM.2014 D4D 150 GXL Automatic - CHARCOAL

Make no mistake. You are lucky I let him play with you. I don't usually share
While we are all playing mutual fan clubs, your not half bad yourself, those attending the GTG will soon learn that almost all sponsors and their generosity is a direct result of your efforts.
Now Matt and Dave, don't waste your time showering me with accolades, I don't deserve them and I am too cool for them anyway ;p

1: ARB compressor
2: Dual battery solenoid for charging the camper
3: UHF mic extension and speaker extension (moving from current location to drivers side pillar)
4: Full fluid replacement (diffs, gearbox, transfer case, coolant, sump, brake fluid etc)
5: New brake pads all round
6: Fire extinguishers either side of the middle seats. Got two sitting there, just gotta find the time to screw them in!
7: Full tyre rotation and flipping the tyres on the rims (white letters inside now)
8: There's something very important that I'm forgetting still....
9: Oh yeah, the brake controller for the camper
For the camper:
1: service bearings and hubs/brakes
2: Add some 12v sockets for running the LED tube lights
3: Wire up the second battery so I get another day or so off the fridge
4: Find the leak in the water tank hose...Diesel Prado with various things...
