Hi Terry,

Its a Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Controller
They leave the Hayman-Reece Controllers for dead as far as features go IMO, much smoother braking, have been using these on our other cars for the last 18months and can't fault them.

The welds are pretty average, a little bit to many amps/not quite enough wire and I need to work on evening out my flow, but I'm working on it

 

Those welds look good to me, better than i could do.

 

Very clean looking welds Kitty... and routing alum?... wild...

good luck with the teething... I remember when my friends kids were teething... not a fun time for the little ones either...

 

TBH my mig welds are crap compared to Nat's


Argon delivered.... woot I will get a few hours to myself today to get out into the shed to do some TIG work, Nat's taking the baby to do "Mother's Day" shopping in Canberra (so all you guys, don't forget your Mum's/Wive's - its next Sunday 5/13/2012)

I finally found an Inclinometer in the right colour & good condition, so that's 1 more item off the buy list, so once it arrives it will be on the ever growing "ToDo" list !

 

My shopping spree continued today, found my wheel carrier woot, so long range aluminium fuel tank is next on the list.

 

That will be quite the rig when you get the "To Do" list is done. Well, if it's ever done since something always seems to be added doesn't it? Nice work.

 

Looks sweet Kitty

 

Thats the kind of shopping I could enjoy. Both of those will make nice additions. How are you getting a longer range tank? Going to fab one up or is there one made?

 

I'll get Nat to fabricate the tank for me, have a 8'x4'x3/16" sheet of MG Aluminium sitting in the rack ear-marked for the auxiliary tank, trying to get an extra 120 Litres of fuel on board, will be handy for our Top End trip.

Need to find a set of poly air bags for my rear coils, to combat the extra weight of the tank in the old spare wheel carrier area. Do any of you guys have a recommended brand of Poly Bags I should be looking for, or for that matter brands I should avoid ??????

 

More to add to the "To Do List" mine are looking a little worn !



and also worn, & on "To Do list


Both MOVED on to "Done LIst"

 

Cool videos!

 

Kitty, search Zuk mod...it may do what you need.
Another option:

Well my awesome lil gurl spoilt mummy & the truck this morning !!




Nice lil emergency tool kit for the 4Runner

+ a New Digital SLR so I have no excuses for posting crappy photo's on the forum anymore

 

http://www.airliftcompany.com/

These ones seem to be the best from the research I've done... they are on my to do list...

much better option than the zuk mod since you can put as much or as little extra support in as you need...

nice new tool kit... happy mother's day...

 

Nice tool kit. Hope you had a great Mothers Day.

 

Thanks Guys - I had an awesome day, I hope all mum's & wives had the same !!




That's uncanny, that's the exact Poly Bags I was looking at getting


Whilst Zuk's 1/2 spring mod is really impressive, it doesn't really suit my needs, The truck will only have the weight of the extra load (fuel & trailer) a few times a year when we go away on long weekends and once every 2 years when we go up to the Northern Territory, the rest of the time Zuk's mod would be impractical for my needs.

With the Poly Bags I only need to fill them up when I have a load on, the rest of the time, I'll just be running nominal pressures that will only really tighten up the rear end a tad !!

But again thanks guys for your input on my options

 

X3(or whatever, hehe) on the Happy Mothers Day! (belated)... VERY cool gift... now that kid knows her mom, does she not? lol

 

yeah kitty air bags are the way to go... you can run a little to take care of the rear sag when you're empty and air it up when you're loaded.

or even air it way up when you need a little extra clearance to get get out of a wash... [was gpong to say wallabee hole 'cus it sounds cute but they are a small 'roo and don't dig holes... maybe a tasmanian devil hole?... if you lived in tasmania...

 

Wallaby, lol, if you look closely at my Avatar, that's a wallaby in my lap, his name is Charlie

Wombat holes are the ones that hurt......

My Wheel Carrier arrived today, its in really good shape


Complete Kit Un-packed


Carrier Arm Locking Plate


Associated Nuts, Bolts & Caps


Number Plate Light Relocation Unit (trying to source 4Runner badges to replace Hilux Surf badges)


Carrier Hinge Caps


Old Number Plate Recess Cover and relocated Window Lock





Charlie's mother was killed by a road train that we we're following, we stopped & he popped his head out of her pouch, I couldn't leave him there to die, so his pouch became a pink shopping bag and a towel !!
