Just realised I haven't updated for a while.

Decided it was time to make a handy table ready for the Fraser trip



Need to cover the top and job done




Was a bit bored, thought I'd do this




I've been airbrushing

New Smily Diff



and more



Mounted the spare wheel cover





Added a couple of extra door stops behind my spare to stop it rattling



Also while the spare is off I thought I'd show a clear pic of how I raised the spare to clear the bumper



Updated the mounting of my bed base/storage thingy. The Turnbuckles got in the way of access underneath.






Silver Jim's first Fraser Island trip











Another weekend of beach camping :)
Had a late arrival.




Castello di Zukenutter ;)





Jimny at Centennial Park, Sydney - 980kms from home, 11.5 hours









Jimny doing its ever-evolving job.
Towed the boat for an hour and a half each way.





A day trip to the beach

The Jimny looks great mate, is the air brush work done by you, seems a shame to have it hidden away on the diff.

I had a couple of mates go traveling in oz and they brought a disco whilst there, they visited Fraser island and being a couple of idiots though they knew what hey were doing and got stuck on the beach with nothing, they were lucky enough to be passed by a local who pulled them out but it just shows how quickly things can and do go wrong.

Looks lke you had a good trip.

Yeah Dan, airbrushing is by me. The diff is just visible from behind, it's a remnant of my street custom infatuation.

Fraser can easily catch the uninitiated by surprise. I've been travelling to Fraser since 1988 and have lost track of how many times I've been there, over the years we've seen lots of boggings and a few 4WDs lost to the ocean. Sometimes Fraser can be an easy drive all the way to the top, other times after heavy storms/seas or king tides it can be a hard working adventure.

Some more pics from our Fraser Jimny trip

A little water crossing on the way south today



Busted Cruiser on the back of this




Came across some backpackers way out of their depth. 40psi, dropped 'em to 20 and pulled them backwards then sent them on their way.



The easy way to get around the island




and some video

Yeah Dan I'm really enjoying airbrushing, I've always been into art but this is the first medium that I've actually enjoyed.

Some updates and pics/vids from our Easter trip to Fraser Island

Fitted a gas strut lift to my bonnet today, pointless but cool.





New awning








Made a drawer






Fraser Island







Scored a nice little cove at Nth Ngkala. Was high tide so only saw half a dozen cars in almost four hours.



South Ngkala panorama



Access from the North to South Ngkala was pretty hacked up



Heading south today we were racing against the rising tide





South Ngkala is infamous for sorting those who can, from those who can't. We had to wait here for almost an hour and when we finally got through there were about 30 cars waiting for their turn to get bogged.



The spectators



Coffee Rock... Fun



The Chasm of Death :)
South Ngkala Rocks wash out





Almost back at Inskip Point




Vids
