The Season Begins
We don’t have too far to go before we head off for the season. This year we are doing things a bit differently, starting with the Cape York trip. We did this to avoid the Cape during school holidays at least for one year.
We have plenty to do before we leave, and we still have a few places spare on the tour, so I am busily trying to fill those places as well.
This weekend I have 2 days of flying at the North Queensland Soaring Centre (where I am Chief Flying Instructor), then I have quite a bit of mechanical work to do next week
– remove tray/box
– repair fuel tanks
– repair crack in spring cap
– fit new Kings Extreme Load Heavy Duty springs
– fit new Koni shocks
– fit new belts, hoses and water pump
– fit new in dash navigator
– fit new body mounts
– fit new under carpet noise reduction
-make and fit overhead console
I intend to blog the lot, so stay tuned

David,
no mention of the new, state of the art, radio system to be installed along with linear amp and super gain antenna set-up. Hi Hi !!
HI Dale. No room or money hihi.
So far the comms are TX4400 UHF CB using a choice of two antennas, one on the bullbar and one on the roof. MOTOROLLA UHF CB HT x 6, BARRETT 950 HF with BARRETT 910 Autotune Antenna, ICOM 706MKIIG for HF and VHF APRS using a choice of 2/70 mobile whip or a Terlin Stealth for 2/6/10/15/20/30/40/80m.
Truck looks like a porcupine 🙂
