upgrades
lets go spend...!
15.02.2011 - 15.03.2011
OK, it would seem its time to stop talking to people - everyone seems have another 'must have' to add to what is becoming a never ending list of 'to buys' and 'to do's'. I'm thinking it's time to simply pack up what we have or can fit and head off. This is meant to be all about simplistic living anyway... isn't it?
None-the-less, we have successfully upgraded what seemed to be a perfectly good 4x4 for the task to something we likely no longer need. So we now have diff-lock (thanks ARB) and of course the compressor should we need to re-inflate tyres (thanks again ARB).. oh yes and now that we are getting all this new kit, it seems it weighs a ton (closer to 2 ton actually), so we now need 'jacked' suspension. So back off to ARB for a set rear airbags and shocks all-round (ARB can start thanking me!!).
Got to find a new shop now as it seems everything at ARB (as nice as it is) is in increments of $1000. So its off to eBay we go. Happily we skipped off to trusty JB HiFi for the 'must have' in car DVD player for non-driver to not have to feel the need to chew the driver's ears off 8 hrs a day (some items are just worth the dollars...).

Okay guys I'll only say iti once - EARPLUGS! get lots of them NOW while you are near the shops. Just remember to only use them when you really need to. It's always better to wake up to that dingo, crocodile, snake, etc etc than to sleep peacefully through it chomping down on your leg!
Next one - I'll only say it once more....SOOOOOO JEALOUS!
Let me know when you hit Cairns and I can start listing our all the good spots that I remember Andrew and I went to.
Mat and Nic plus one
