Hi great set up enjoy your trips one day when you have time can you do a clip on your boat sounder set up what size battery how long it lasts how you charge it on the rod thanks
@travellingaustralia731912 сағат бұрын
Our sounder is fitted in a plastic tool box type case so completely portable and helps protect it when we are travelling rough roads ,we have a lithium battery for our Min Kota that is charged from the Tohatsu when running to power the sounder but previously had a small 7amp hr battery in the case which we charged at night time to power the sounder for a day or 2 cheers Kev

Another suggestion if I may: whenever you get the opportunity crawl under your tow vehicle and check the chassis for cracks behind the cab. There are more and more incidents of your type of vehicle getting cracked and broken chassis when they’ve had heavy canopies fitted.
@peterwright269223 сағат бұрын
It's been extended and if done properly with plates on the chassis, shouldn't be a problem. Is a major issue with standard dual cab utes.
@travellingaustralia731912 сағат бұрын
As the reply below we had the chassis extended (which put the wheels where they should be almost middle of the tray) and strengthened at the same time as we knew we would be travelling at our max GVM cheers Kev

Recently sold our BT. I really miss my caravanning years. Just an observation: do you have your tyre pressure screen set to Atmospheres on purpose or can it display PSI?
@travellingaustralia731912 сағат бұрын
still getting used to the tech on the Ranger have worked it out how to change it to psi since the video one thing I did not realise is just how much the tyre pressure increases during the days travelling in some cases we saw ours go from 30 psi and reach up to 40 psi on hot and corrugated gravel cheers Kev

we used Hi temperature exhaust paint it works well until you start spilling salt water on it when cooking crabs ,then it tends to start rusting anyway but for home use or just as a fire pit it works well. don't really have photos of the arms but just 90 deg and out about 200 mm works well , Battery powered rotisserie kit is from bunnings cheers Kev

I just spent most of my weekend watching most of your videos. Now im waiting on the next. Such a great channel. Loved the 3.7 nomad hs. But they are a little heavier. Im looking at getting the makocraft, but im afraid it's too big for my colorado. They only weigh 80kg for the 3.76. We have an 3 tonne ATM hybrid. I'm looking at a GVM upgrade now for the ute. Im 6ft5, so i need a bigger boat for stability. Love your work. Well done, both of you 👌
