mlc "getting drilled" on his Rear Bar!

All I'll say is that the pets had to be locked up, and it took 2 sets of hands to handle by bar (I'm used to that though).
I can advise that MLC mustn't do any hard work because there were no callouses on his hands. Either that or he's a closet metrosexual who moisturises.04 GXL - Red Centa dual battery, Alloy B/bar, BFG AT's, Rhino Rack commercial bars x 3, GME TX3540, TJM roof cage, Outback Ideas recovery points, LHS rear drawer, 2" Dobinsons/Bilstein lift, ARB CKMA12 air compressor, CoilRite airbags, ARB 2.5m awning, MCC Dual Wheel Carrier, Eagle Eye headlights with 55w hid lo beam.Comment

I have no callouses because I have a missus to look after my bar. You are possibly the only man to have ever handled my bar, besides myself!
The "pets" were two rabbits, Gramps was a little scared by the live roadkill/come guard animals, having free reign of the back garden. We find they are good for attacking the neighbours cat when it strays over the fence.[B][COLOR=blue]Bitumen: A blatant waste of taxpayers money![/COLOR][/B]

I took the rear bumper off this afternoon as well as the factory tow hitch in readiness for a Hayman Reese tow hitch. Just a quick trip down to Bunnings tomorrow morning for some replacement bolts. Should be all sorted by lunchtime.

Well the tow hitch is on, but not properly. As hard as I tried, I couldn't get all the bolt holes lined up. The 2 bolts on the passenger side will not go in because the holes are misaligned by about 20mm.
If I give it a week and the have another go, hopefully she'll line up.

"Give this a try", he said.

This....
Here's the link:
http://www.pedalbox.com/en
It has 3 settings (Sport, Sport Plus and City), with another 3 settings inside each.
Sport - increased responsiveness, free revving, smooth gear changes.
@ 70km/h - 14-1500rpm
Sport Plus - unbeleivable responsiveness, fast/smooth gear changes at around 3500rpm, great for overtaking above 80km/h
@70km/h - 1300rpm
City - more torque low down for stop/start traffic, better pedal 'feel'
didn't do the @ 70km/h test
To compare, when turned off I was sitting on 16-1700rpm @ 70km/h
I can see a few speeding fines coming the wife's way if she's not careful.
I'll take a photo when I get a chance.

Well, it's been a while since I last updated so I thought a few pictures to show recent mods was in order.
I relocated the airbag valve to below the rear bumper, this is much quicker and easier to get to.
I also installed my steel replacement bar which I'm not totally happy with as it doesn't sit squarely. This meant I had to drill an 18mm hole to install the rear view camera. All in all they both turned out ok.

And since it is a long weekend, I thought I'd better start getting ready for a trip I'm taking next month.
I've played around with a couple of ideas for the mounting of a 2nd fridge recently, but I have been impressed with them. Now I'm thinking I may get rid of my 40L Engel and 80L esky and replace them with a 78L ARB Fridge. With the increased weight and size I'd like to get the fridge on the floor instead of on the drawer. A trip to ARB on Friday saw me pick up their largest fridge slide which will hold my esky this time, and the new fridge next time.
I made a template of the space in the rear and cut out a piece of 9mm MDF. The mounting points will be the 3rd row seat anchor points and the cargo barrier anchor point. A quick spray of matt black paint and she's all done. If this works out ok, I'll swap out the MDF for a sheet of 17mm plywood and then add a 2nd drawer on top of the 1st.
I also picked up a wind break for my awning from ARB which will allow both my son's and my sway to be totally under cover whilst we are away.04 GXL - Red Centa dual battery, Alloy B/bar, BFG AT's, Rhino Rack commercial bars x 3, GME TX3540, TJM roof cage, Outback Ideas recovery points, LHS rear drawer, 2" Dobinsons/Bilstein lift, ARB CKMA12 air compressor, CoilRite airbags, ARB 2.5m awning, MCC Dual Wheel Carrier, Eagle Eye headlights with 55w hid lo beam.Comment
