What did you do to your navara today?

[Johnkathy81]

Havnt been on here for a while but decided to wire up some PowerPoint's. Run extension lead to inlet when on site and gives power to my compressor inside canopy and also power to outlet to run lead to tools. Also compressor fitting wich runs to compressor and new reverse lights wich I can overide with a switch from camp lights. Thought I'd post if any other tradies might want to get some ideas doing the same.

Make sure you earth the 230v to the tub of you truck. If a wire was to rub through or get damaged, could liven up your whole truck. I would be putting a 230v circuit breaker inside the canopy somewhere.

Thanks for the advice mate, never thought of it to be honest but wouldn't the safety on whatever box I plugged into trip it out if something was to ever happen anyway?

Technically the switch board circuit breaker you plug into WILL trip the circuit BUT if you can't access that to reset it, you will be without power. Think of it like a camper or caravan. They have there own little switch board inside for the 230v power. I suppose it's not super important, wouldn't hurt tho!!

Makes sense, thanks for the input might look into it.

Hey mate, how many cans did it take to coat all that?

 

[LRT-31]

It took me 4.5 cans and that was fairly heavy coats and 4 coats of everything. Still holding up great

Fitted a new alternator tto the piecs of s#&$t today.

 

[shanus]

Fitted recovery points today that I made up. Got the idea from other members in this thread:

http://www.navara.asia/showthread.php?t=9452&highlight=bullbar+dimensions

Paint cured for 5 days before I put them on yet the bolts still cut into the paint when cranked up... not that it matters I suspect they wont stay yellow for long...

 

[308bever]

hi shanus, they look great, but what`s wrong with the eyelets on the bullbar? surely if the bullbar is strong enoughly mounted to bolt a winch to, it should be strong enough to anchor to? am i missing something as a newby?

 

[shanus]

The eyelets are more of a towing/ tie down point rather than a recovery point. I certainly don't want to be snatching from those eyelets when bogged down with the risk of twisting bulbar or worse have a shackle tear through the eyelet. Yes bar is designed to have a winch mounted but snatching forces far outweigh the static load that is applied while winching.
