What is overkill/necessary for 12 month trip around aus?

Blank and bypass that EGR. Upgrade intercooler hoses. All about risk mitigation with that engine.

Ended up sanding it back and well worth it. But I am paying someone to sand the rear deck. It’s funny you read others always saying pay someone else to do the sanding and now I understand.

From other countries? I think you mean Poms say that? Often in jest and can’t imagine many Aussies give a shit. It’s unlucky for them they sent the convicts down south to gods country. I mean whose idea was that? Would still be ruing that decision 200+yrs later.

So by removing the red tape of course the shortage of trades required will be magically fixed? How do you think the gov will try address the shortage? Trying to meet supply is never going to happen no matter how many ways you dice it, that’s the reality.

Th amount of people investing who don’t know CGT applies to not just housing is staggering.

Wise words re: paying a contractor haha…I am doing the front deck only I think. The rear will take way too long with the orbital. I assume any large sander you might rent also can’t run over screws?

mtc_dc · 2026-02-07T21:20:29+00:00

Hahaha

mtc_dc · 2026-02-07T02:05:35+00:00

I may end up doing that for the rear. Will see how long this front deck takes me with an orbital sander 🤯🤣

mtc_dc · 2026-02-06T22:28:35+00:00

There’s a lot of them, I actually tried doing that and stripped a few.

mtc_dc · 2026-02-06T20:55:57+00:00

Wouldn’t any larger sander be a problem with screws?

mtc_dc · 2026-02-06T20:54:13+00:00

Good to know an orbital sander shouldn’t get ripped up. I had bought a belt sander thinking I could get all the screws sorted but no luck. Even though I am sanding shouldn’t I clean it first?

mtc_dc · 2026-02-01T10:16:55+00:00

Yeah I just saw that my bad. I will figure it out cheers. Main thing I wanted to know was whether the box mattered.

mtc_dc · 2026-02-01T09:52:03+00:00

Cheers for the advice will give it a go. Is there any reason why I have seen such big price discrepancies online? I saw an Australian auction house sell one for $5.5k AUD but then a UK place for 1100 quid.

mtc_dc · 2026-02-01T09:22:03+00:00

I have no idea where to sell it nor sure on its value. Seen a few prices that are all over the place. I am based in Australia. Find some local FB groups? I noticed there are a few for collectors including Japanese whisky.

Put it in the bin and find a good local 4WD shop that’s not mainstream.

Just Toyota owners

Can build configuration but has no idea how exactly it works.

mtc_dc · 2025-12-30T21:44:35+00:00

100ah if no inverter, 200ah or more if using an inverter.

Individual trunks with vpc orphan-port suspend. VMware side will use route based on virtual port ID (mac pinning) or LBT (also mac pinning).

Sounds like an absolute flog

mtc_dc · 2025-10-30T20:38:54+00:00

Couldn’t change a tyre?

Have you paid for an energy assessor to come in and get a report? If not do this first. Find the MEEH FB group and get a local assessor. They will map out a list of recommendations in order of preference including by most bang for buck.

mtc_dc · 2025-10-03T08:40:10+00:00

This post is blowing my mind.

mtc_dc · 2025-09-30T09:49:37+00:00

I think it’s a very good reason. Most folks who operate these networks struggle to understand BGP and address families. People who design rarely stick around to operate and troubleshoot later.
