Water Crossings/Blinds

dont have surf but on 80 series before got snorkel used to close bonnet on top of tarp-enough to hold top of tarp in position and then use ocky straps to tie to whatever could find underneath-even maybe for yours use ocky straps from side to side holding tarp/blind down behind your bullbar. works fine as long as dont stop in water or dive in to fast

Search the archives, theres a few good threads on this in the past....

Hey Jeff,

A little off topic, but where abouts do you get to play around in 4 water crossings in W.A?. Looking for some of that fun stuff myself.

Cheers

Hey Jeff,

I was booked about 5 months ago on Rockingham road, where they were installing two sets of traffic lights. Same story- Friday arvo of the long weekend it was about 4pm and not a workman/construction insight.

The area is a 90 zone and i was booked doing 91km/h in a very badly marked 60km/h "so called work area". The thing thatbleepme off is that i was in the right hand lane and the nice police man was on the left side of the road, on my left were 7 cars (doing the same speed) which had to stop in there tracks to let me cross to the left side of the road.

I was then told that it was a 60 zone because of the work that was (was not) being done and that because it was a long weekend (fri 4pm) it was going to cost me double demerits!!!!

8 points and $250 later i lost my licence, i tried to fight it but was told i was wasting my time!!!!

So becareful mate even if there is no work going on they will still book you, especially on a long weekend (easy bait for them).

Now with the fj55 i can do 10km/h under the limit and still feel like im speeding (because of the bounce).

Cheers

A company called Michelle"s Sacs make blinds for 4WD's that are very easily fitted. They are elasticated to fit around the front of the vehicle and are held in position by a clip on strap around your "wing" mirrors. ARB stock them. Expencive but very well made.Richard and Leonie, The grey nomads.
