Tech tip

Fido,

Got it done and took some photos

Firstly what the dash looks like



If you grab the panel where the AC controls are and pull it out towards you, its held in there by 4 clips. Then unplug the cable in the rear.

Post #123 onwards is good for removing trims to access handbrake cable adjustment.
12mm spanner to adjust, if its never been adjusted the cable ay need a couple turns.

Hey Brains just tried to send you a PM but was unable due to your PM box being full.
Cheers Pradoprime

Brains, what do you call those anderson plugs that connect from the bottom and allows for flush mount?

I thought Paul had changed over to TJM suspension.....? I might be wrong though.....

You are correct mate.. Just did a search through his posts and it appears he changed over to the TJM XGS Gold.

Hey Brains, any update on how the Ironman suspension has held up? Are you still happy with it?

Also, when do we get to see your Cape York Video? You have kept us in suspense for 3 months now!!!

Hi Brains,

Two questions Can you show us more pictures of the DC Torque wheels? How do you find the RTT on the Rhino Platform rack? Was looking at doing this too...

Thanks!
Matt

Matt,

To answer your 2 questions.

1. Yes. Wheels are Dick Cepek Torque which are 17 x 8.5 with an offset of +6.



2. The RTT on the Rhino Pioneer platform was good, I had the RTT opening to the drivers side and had the aluminum bars underneath running along the 1200mm section of the tent or east west on the car. To achieve this and be able to bolt to the rack without drilling I made and powdercoated up some brackets that spanned the width of the planks (photo to come). I also made up some aluminum lengths at 50mm x25mm x 3mm wall thickness and ran these on top of the planks north south. These length lifted the RTT up off the planks which allowed better access to the zipper around the bottom of the tent.

What drop sheets, that is what paint scrapers are for... Thanks for reminding me Craig, the garage is the only room that I have not painted!

Cheers Dan
