Hello,

Same here. Got mine last week, it is great. it makes you wonder how you did without one.

Your flex is always improving. Good luck with the new shackles.

Is that a Tough Dog steering damper? How good are those? I was offered one of these. At 5000 km from steering shock change I want to know more before choosing one.

Yep its a tough dog steering damper. I will let you know once it is installed possibly this weekend. I tried to install it a while ago but the tapered bolt holding the factory one on was seized into position- i tried a sledge hammer and a ball joint splitter. I think the next plan of action is to jam a piece of wood inbetween the mount and the frame to stiffen it up and try the sledge hammer again.

Also managed to get a fully awesome double bed setup complete with ferrari covers Its not a bad effort considering how short the shorty is but the bed is only about 165cm long so me being over 180 i have to let my feet dangle over the seats. But it sets up in about 1minute sure beats putting a tent even the swag up and you get a pretty decent nights sleep!


Here it is setup





Its propped up by using the drawer sides as supports for the sides and a water tank rested on the centre console for support in the middle.




And when its not being used the mattress folds into the space between my drawers and the seats.

Worked great. Hows the track looking? There is a few complaing its too chopped up fo the average driver and people are making chicken trails all over the place through the bush.

I tried sleeping in my 73 but its too short ,I dont how you do it in a 70

I thought about making a plywood table at the end that cantelevered from the floor of the landcruiser.
You could also get some sort of "bag" made that wrapped around the rear doors to keep the wind out

hey rosco, powerlines isnt too bad. Maybe my car is just getting better or im more comfortable taking the harder parts but it doesnt seem too chopped the last few times I have been. Actually some of the parts are inaccessable and some of the harder parts are much easier. Always changing. Lots of chicken tracks all over the place yeah too many rav 4's giving it a go.

Like i said i dont really fit in the back. But i sleep head facing the rear and leave my legs dangling over the seats. I never camp without having a skinfull so i dont really notice this most times But the thought of having a middy would seem almost luxurious!
Ive done the whole tarp over the rear thing but there is so much setting up to do you might as well sleep in a tent. Thats why i like this setup

Picked up a 24v on board ARB air compresser, a swivel hub rebuild kit and wheel bearings at a 4wd show today. Box of bits is slowly growing.... looks like ive got lots of work to do!
