What did you do in your shed / man cave today?

[GGV8Cruza]

After our last trip away into the High Country with the Kamper on and the bikes loaded onto the Kimberley they copped a fair bit of dust. So it was out with the tape measure and I then put SWMBO to work.....

The result....The Fork'n Bar Bra!!!   

Looks great, might have to place an order. I have the same problem and my forks do not like the dust and grime let alone the bug guts

Another coat of paint on my trailer buildup. And took it for a short tow.. And then cleaned up and put the cruiser back in its home.

New trailer now sits outside for the rest of its life..

Ripped the trailer wiring out to put new wiring in. As a GIC owner, I am very disgusted with what I found. BUT, I am happy to own a CT and get out there and enjoy myself camping with my little clan!! I have had to do a few thing to the CT to get out there, but that is what it is all about!

Will get new wiring and check the breaks over the next week. Then to fit the brake controller in the ute!

[02-SR5]

That is exactly what I did to mine. All was good at the end and I had a better camper at the end.

[berlitza]

worked on a central light pole for the annex ,easier and faster setup with teh led's

[speewa158]

Delved into the LED strip lighting bag , wired up a strip of lights for the tool box . When you lift the lid up in the top of the side fold is a strip of lights to fill the dlack void . Really works well 

[berlitza]

started to make the brackets for the water tank ,sure as hell not gunna pay $50 for 2 strips of bent steel

[Brumbypt]

Had to take off the fuel tank off the fergi. The darn thread for the cap broke off just after i filled it up..

So had to drain out the fuel, ran out of empty jerry cans so had to wait for a mate to drop one off..

Long day, as one of the bolts wouldn't undo..


Actually i wasnt in the workshop but just out side of it..

[Barry G]

Not my workshop,and not me who did it, but had 5 Yokohama Geolandar  245/70R16 tyres fitted to the Monterey.  $1250for 5, fitted, balanced and wheel alignment.

Almost found the wire cage at the bottom of the Engel today , some pesky cans blocked the view no matter how hard l went at it

Walked in the door to the garage, stood quietly for a few minutes surveying the the sights before me, made a resolution of how to go about the action required, Let out a dejected heavy sigh, turned and closed the door ... Vowing one day, one day I will get it all sorted out and everything back in its place, one day !!!

[Brumbypt]

Detailed a nissan... Ute thing, well the inside, doing the outside tomos..


Also refitted the fuel tank on the fergi and graded some gravel on pathways and driveways and near the stables.. But they aint in the workshop sorry..

[StrvnMrvn]

Finished rewiring the trailer so that it doesn't look like a birds nest!

Tidied up the plumbing in the CT after the fit out of the water pump and tested the whole system again. No leaks, pretty happy!

Next, the brake controller in the tug!

[D4D]

Took advantage of the sun to dry out and clean all the camping gear from the trip earlier in the week.

First use of the Oztrail Ultramesh and not a fan, it appears to hold water unlike plain old shadecloth...

Solution......cut off and fit 1 x female plug to trailer. Make link lead with 2 x male plugs, a la rental trailers.......

[berlitza]

welded some checker plate platform to the sides of the trailer so i can mount an external tap and hose connections for the water tank, then got told by my 10yo nephew that my welds look just like rabbit pooh ,need more practice welding  i think

[Andymac]

Today I actually finished building the shed I started building 10 years ago. 

[Brumbypt]

So i have another couple of years to go before i have to finish building my house.. Cool

Been livin in ours for the past 15 years without a final. 
Just about done, 

[Wunderlust]

Built myself a choofer today from an old gas bottle I had. Very pleased with the outcome, however the welding is very average.

Just need to fire here up now!

i made some more progress on cladding my shed today, is slow going doing it on my own ....lol

[evolution]

Thought I should pull my finger out now that the girls are home and the trip next weekend, and start on some of the jobs on the trailer.
New brake hubs and a fluid flush on the camper and started on the electrics.
Box is built, just racking my brain how to get all the wires from the side of the trailer into the box at the front, then back in to the trailer....
Figured it wasn't going to get done with out drilling lots of big holes so thought I would leave that till tomorrow 

Cheers

Fitted some fulcrum ride height air bags in the back end of the Troopy I scored of Gumtree for a $100.
initial test is proving good, holding 30 psi air pressure well.
