Thanks bigkev.
I'll send a pm to you in a second. Just waiting for the minister to hand over the laptop.

The small plug is s Merit plug. The same as a cig lighter socket but smaller and had a more secure fitting

 

[bigkev]

Cool merit plug I have not heard of them before just wondering what they are for

They are just a smaller ended cigarette plug. Used for all the same applications like fridges, lights, etc.

I had it as a fridge plug cause it was more secure then a normal cig plug.

Awesome cool cheers dude

Possibly silly question. How are the Anderson plugs mounted there? I see a panel with pop rivets??

They are a thin piece of alloy cut and folded to suit the Anderson plug. The Anderson plugs are bolted with small 3/16 bolts to the flush mount plate then riveted to the switch panel so I fab remove them of needed. I cannot find where I purchased them but pretty sure it was off eBay.

Yea sweet cheers.

No real updates happened lately. One thing is i finally OWN the Nav. Few things coming shortly though.

Upper control arms getting upgraded to Calmini
Harrops E Locker up front
Beau Exhaust with added muffler delete section.

This will be happening over the next few months. Lots kf overtime for me to do

 

[RustyNav09]

Woohooo so Beau System ordered today and should be able to pick it up tomoz. Also still waiting on the control arms to turn up. So some things coming. Beau system has no muffler so it should sound sweet

 

[mitch92]

Did yOu get it at a better price?

 

[tyler-k]

I was so tempted to head into their stand but thought better not haha. Did they have good deals on for the show? There wasn't as much 4wd stuff as I thought, so much caravan and camper trailers though was crazy.

[RustyNav09]

Agreed Tyler. The 4wd stuff was pretty poor. Caravan section was massive.

Got the beau system at $1200 with the delete section. There deal was free postage or $100 off. I ended up with the muffler delete pretty much free $145 off.

 

[tyler-k]

Sounds like an alright deal then. I'm looking forward to the Brisbane one now

[RustyNav09]

What day you heading into the Brisbane show

 

[Gonzo]

I will be there Sat morning If It ever stops raining

 

[RustyNav09]

Looks like a few members are heading into the Brisbane show next weekend. Hope to see you all there.

On another note the Beau System went in a dream. Total of 4 hours fit including removal of the old. No hoist just the right tools. The no muffler section certainly makes it sound like a truck. Typical beau style though the tailpipe dump section is about 6" to long so will be cutting it short as I hate exhaust that hang low. Apart from that a very nicely built item.

Hit the glasshouse with some mates yesterday and was my first time out. It was super boggy but had the best fun ever. Will get videos and pics up once I recieve them

they make a good system, well worth the $$ over cheap imitations

 

[happy john]

So are you now pleased with how it goes? how are the egt's lower i bet

Yeh happy mate. Egt are lower by an easy 60-100deg overall rev range. No restrictions whatsoever. Now to sort the locker and work out a better cooling intercooler. Also my bro in law is getting me a full alloy radiator made to replace the factory item
