Couldnt sleep sunday night, and about 1AM it occurred to me.. shit we are leaving in 2 months!

time to pull the finger out and get organised. I am so far from ready to go... not a lot of things that will stop me from going but a lot that will annoy me if they arent done in time.

I seem to do this to myself alot. I made my list longer by buying some more stuff. The good bit is the major car bit has arrive from the USA, and just needs painting and installing. Then I can book in for the exhaust to be done. And I still have a large crack in my windscreen but that's and easy one that can be left to the last minute....or possibly ignored.

I just want to pack and go already. I'm sick of waiting.

I am also in the large crack in the windscreen department.. wondering if i should repair it before or after the trip. crack is about 40cm long though!

iIf I were you Dane I would leave the replacement till y0ou get back , just incase you get some more damage to the screen . The crack that is there now will be quite safe even if it gets bigger as it would only be on the outside layer.

I will take a photo of it and get your opinion Mike.

Thats $200 i can spend on cooler things like a rear tyre carrier so I am happy to leave it a while

Thanks

Haven't brought the steel to build my trailer yet,to make matters worse i 've been reading a camper trailer build up on another forum were a guy got crushed and killed while building one so Lisa's not to keen on me building one.I guess it'll be a last minute dash.If it was just me it would be a swag and food, that doesn't take long to put together.
I'm sure everything will fall into place.

Dane, you need a spare carrier more than a windscreen - and you'd only crack the screen on the trip anyway!

You guys make me laugh

Don't replace your windscreen untill you have to.

Will, are you even going?

The only thing in the photo that you can see that I am taking this time is the jerry can and the number plates. The rest I have to sort out.
