The Palmer's 120

[Guest Close Guest]

Thanks for that Craig.
Got both reds and whites on order.
Also had to order some more lights for the centre and cargo as the 6smd that I tried weren't good enough for my wife.
Getting the 48smd panels.

Should have got a red and a blue and put them in the map lights and turn them on alternately. Then see what happens when you drive in traffic.

Who knows Palmer you might just set the wheels in motion with a few Barry White tracks and your new "Mood Lighting"

Hey, anything's worth a try...

Hey, I'm in Tassie. And I'm not even in "the big city of Hobart" so my 'peak hour' doesn't really register on the radar

More things to add to my 'need to install' list

They took a while to arrive. Just in time for the weekend though

These have been shoved well to the back of the list of things to do.
My main aim for this weekend is to get the fridge sorted on the draws and finish the install of the cargo net, then look at power socket for the fridge, then...

If you need a hand or advice getting power for fridge to the back through the chasis rail like I did, let me know... Plenty of other paths you could take, of course...

When I get to that point, I will give you a call. I had only just remembered about needing a power source, and I figured that I need to start getting stuff organised pretty quickly.

NW Offroad stock ARB frindge wiring kits - Right cable thickness, battery terminal connections, fridge (12v socket) connection on the other end and inbuilt fuse with plenty of length for around $50. Makes it a relatively simple job getting materials in order

Thanks for that. Hels is taking the Prado in there on Tuesday to get a pre-trip inspection done, so might have to get her to check that out (she will be busting to buy something while she is in there, so may as well make it something that is needed).

After discussions with Smithy and My Hels, It was decided to lower the fridge, so some modifications were made to the draw system. (Especially scince the home-made slide I had done was a bit of a failure)
Out came the circular saw, and changes were made.

That works.

Got to admit it's better than the other slide I had spent a day and a half building. Oh well, was worth a try, but now consigned to the rubbish bin.
Now gotta get the power from the aux battery to the fridge and all will be good.

The 48smd 'warm white' dome lights arrived - much better than the 6smd ones that i tried
