    I don’t normally travel during the day, but one day I did a sneaky white rav 4 100km north of meeka pinged me 12ks over with a trailer. Some call me crazy but I always travel at night, No over sized and Roos are no different to daytime.

    Landcruiser aircon

    Many moons ago I laid concrete for a fellow that had a contract with Toyota to install aircons into 70series in WA, he was telling me they come out of the factory with mounting points but no aircon, no sure if this is still the case.

    Landcruiser aircon

    Sounds like high pressure overload, have you given the condenser a good hose out and check the air flow, in the 40c + days if the high pressure switch kicks in for my cool rooms I have to get up on the roof with a hose and spray the condenser until the pressure drops, and the motor kick back in...

    Brass Monkey Fridge Review

    I think I’ve got the same unit for the truck, I recently took it on a gold trip as a backup, if I ever take away again I’ll remove the battery when at camp as it seem to want to charge the battery at the same time as running, maybe there’s a setting to stop the charging? But I learned the hard...

    Minelab price increases

    When I got my first 7 there were just over $11k with dealer bonuses, battery, cover and crappy pick, my second was $10500 with same bonuses just before lockdowns. I think the pricing just going back to pre Covid. I think I’ll be adding a 6000 to my quiver before the end off the year though.

    If I get a few days before Chrissy I’ll have another look, this one sounded like ground noise at first and easily past if I wasnt swinging slow, I thank the 39c forecast on the day for that.

    So this species was a bit like picking bindis from a woollen sock, there was a mixture of wire fine and flour. Run down to 20 mesh and I’m still finding gold in rock but don’t think there’s much more in it. For another day. But here’s a photo of the dirty gold on the scales. No where near the...

    Questions about prices and certain functions

    Here’s a link, I was looking up headphones with adjustable volume for my lazy right ear a while back and stumble across this site. It won’t open on my phone for some reason now but from memory, you ran the detector through a booster that converts sound into vibration and maybe had visual...

    There been a 7000 on gumtree in Perth for a week going for $5800 with a few month warranty it looks like it’s been used once or twice. There’s a website called gold-tec that makes a device for the hearing impaired, I’d explain a bit more, but a pop up ad is annoying the s@@t out of me and keeps...
