Re: Tlou - My TD42

At times I am required to run an event or callout from my vehicle as mobile JOC. It is always easier to have a table handy for laptop and taking notes, so with the self made table at the rear I've run an extension cord with multiplug to the rear from a 1000W inverter. It will stay there and I only h...

Re: Tlou - My TD42

PS: My oil temp sensor is tapped into the rear of the sump, and Michael says they typically read higher in that position than when they are mounted in the sump plug. Where is yours located? Mine is also located in the rear of the sump. I would rather have a too high reading on the Madman as a safet...

Re: Tlou - My TD42

Then lastly, I struggled with overheating for a while, especially when towing. After asking about it on the Patrol WA group after my return from Groblersdal on a very hot day, towing less than 500kg, I got the wheel rowling to see what could be done about the heating of the TD42. My first visit was ...

Re: Tlou - My TD42

I struggled to keep my hand held radios charged, and decided to build a "charging dock" with a space for 220v and 12v. When at home I plug a lead into the vehicle that then keep all the hand held radios charged and ran the fridge at the same time, saving the 2nd battery in the rear. An upg...

Re: Tlou - My TD42

On the inside I added a drawer and fridge slide. The original design was a bit complicated where the fridge slides out and down with the kitchen drawer extended. Great idea, but as I said a bit complicated to execute. So I removed it and went for a straight slide in and out for the fridge build with...

Re: Tlou - My TD42

So I realised that I have not updated the progress and additions to my Patrol for a significant period of time.... close to 3 years.... Let's start with the rear/tow bar. I managed to bent the refurbished Burnco rear bar at a SARZA event when I towed a Megabus off a gravel hump the engine in the rea...
