New shelf system worked better than planned. have sleeping gear, clothes and 5 days of food (less the fruit fly exlusion ones) and it all just peeks above the rear seat.
Tent, chair's and Cobb cooker on the roof. It's sitting a little low in the bum compared to our last couple of trips? Might be able to justify new suspension and airbags.
1500km in 22hrs with only a few hrs rest ~ not sleep in the middle, towing about 2 & a bit tonnes for 1/2 the trip, empty tandem for the remainder. It didnt miss a beat. Got a bit warm going up a few hills, back to 3rd a few times, but nothing serious. Who said diesel XJ's were unreliable? It would probably do it again starting today, Im a bit to stuffed though!!

Where abouts ? I am often around between Strathy & Barmah most weekends. Its dried out a lot. There are 2 more bridges washed away. Just another casualty of environmental flows & lack of timber collection.
have fun!
Brake master cylinder time today...see if that will fix the squishy brake pedal...might try to take a few decent pictures for a write up while I'm at it..

Installed new centering pins and shims and then proceeded to move the shackle around looking for the best angle pretending as if i had a clue as to what i was doing.
Where do shims go in the shackles? Also pins are you referring to the bolts?
