Jeff , slightly off topic , have been to the trucksprings site , how did you manage to set up an account ,will only accept usa zip codes and usa states , so how bar very exy phone do we manage to order ??

It was a fair while ago when I did it but I do remeber the post code issue, can't remeber how I got round it. I think I just chose a random USA zip code and state but then put in my address in Oz etc.. I think that's how I did it, I never had to call them, the gear got here in less than two weeks. (air freight). Was very good.

I emailed them about a dozen times and got no reply. I think the Australian distributor has read your post and there are no more available to Aus, outside the ACCC scope I think.

I've heard of people not getting replies to emails before, I never had to email them, I just ordered it and it was here less than two weeks later. They still supply Oz as far as I'm aware, there is nothing stopping them, if your order is less than $300 it's totally leagal and there is nothing the ACCC could or would do about it anyway. If ARB think it's fine to charge 200% markup then that's their business, but just because a company sells somthing at an acceptable price is no reason for the ACCC to intervein, even if they could.

Thanks Nobby. great pics really takes me away from this desk. Just wondering why you had the need for the 12v genee and the 160w panels? do the panels keep the second battery topped up or are you finding a need for the gen. ?

G'Day Rigor. Yes I still have the original shocks. The only difference I can feel (as Banjo says) is that they give a little bit harder ride when pumped up. When not towing I deflate them and all is back to normal.

I have HD springs and air bags with stock shocks (toyota ones though as it's a surf not a jack) and have no problems. The stock springs were SO under rated the HD springs made it how it SHOULD have been to start with the and the air bags allow me to load all my crap in without the sag.

G'Day Schervo. Re the Christie. At the start of our set up (Some 5 years ago) we decided to go only 12v, and battery obviously is the only way to go. So how do you keep the batteries fully charged?- Solar or Gen. We first bought the Solar panels and then found out that the sun does not always shine. Went away for two weeks and had rain and wind for 12 days(great holiday). Thank christ for the Christie on that holiday. Ran it for two hours every two days and that kept the batteries full. Now the Christie is always packed but only as a back up. Went away a few weeks ago and did not need to run it at all but did so as it is a year since it had a run. Probably a bit of overkill on our part buying it, but now it serves the purpose.For the amount of space it takes up compared to always having power I think we made the right decision.

I didnt want to take that away from you Baz, you have that link thing down pat..
lol

cheers
