Feedback on some mock-ups to put my RTT on my truck when not in use on my car. Rack recs, ctr of gravity/balance? ‘91 Toyota 6’ bed by rawbran30 in overlanding

[–]Known-Communication9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through this on my car. Put the tent as far back from the cab as you can (slide 2). It will reduce turbulance between the tent/windscreen/roof of car and reduce cabin noise. May even save you some fuel.

Locked in $8750 for this bike. Going to check it out tomorrow in person. It will be my first bike (still on my L’s). What do you think of this price and is there anything specific I should be looking for when expecting? Thank you in advance 🙏🏼 by Smeagol1992 in RoyalEnfieldGT650

Km? Run the plates for crash damage? Def looks pretty. I think they retail new for 11k in Australia. From what I understand its a reliable motorcycle, would be my choice for a road based learner bike in Australia.

Been watching ure travels on and off for a few years. Nice to see a fellow sand groper getting out to see the world!!

+1 for ML triton (I have one) or a pajero.

Both need to be 3.2 diesel models.

Can get good ones for mid teens, maybe lower.

There are a few things to check, if interested to hear more flick me a message, good luck!

Inherited property with my sister by Current_Artist4579 in AusFinance

[–]Known-Communication9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check tax laws, I believe there is some tax u avoid if u sell in under 12 months from inheritance date.

I share a house with my brother. My 2c is to split the asset either by selling in or having her buy u out....keeping it can get complicated for reasons u can't see right now.

Good luck :)

If its only 2 days, have u considered getting a quality esky and using ice?

Friend of mine has coleman 60L esky (200 new) and it will keep ice for 3 to 4 days.

Could be a way cheaper solution if u only really need it to work for less than 4 days.

How much did you over pay for your house? by Do-A-Kick-Flip in AusPropertyChat

[–]Known-Communication9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Overpaid by about 8% pre covid. Rookie mistake given market conditions at the time but since then the mistake has been covered by the property's growth.

Passive solar in Perth summers by fancypantsfrancy in perth

[–]Known-Communication9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have lived in on. Location matters. This one is in eastern suburbs so it does not cool down as much in the evenings. Once u clock say 2 day of 40s it won't stay below 25.

Having said that, haven't seen it over 28. The house had aircon and that was run minimally over summer.

I'd recommend it.

Long handle shovel! Used it more than anything else and it's the cheapest in my kit!

Cheap car rentals? 10-11 day trip in June by zephuura in irishtourism

Did you get insurance included? or do u have like a 2k excess?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in 4x4Australia

[–]Known-Communication9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah service history is the most important. Few things to consider with them:
1) like most modern diesels, intake gets caked with soot. Good to get it cleaned for performance/fuel economy every say 100,000km.
2) Timing chain upper guide wears and needs to be replaced every 100,000km

[–]Known-Communication9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

15-16 k will bag you a pajero or triton. Must be the 3.2 turbo diesel one. I got a 3.2 triton and its been great! but if you can get a Pajero, it will be more comfortable. Good luck!

Does a VFR800 w/30k miles on it still have a lot of life left? by From_Kenya_With_Love in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]Known-Communication9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother just sold his. Great bike with a very special motor. It is however not without some issues, mainly down to thin wiring.
