Grenadier build – UHF install

12 volt, 4X4, Aussie made, Australia, guide, Uncategorised, ,

AERIALS FITTED
The aerial on the left of screen is the RFI CD63 Black 6.5dbi removable aerial. It is very thin, so the driver’s vision is barely impacted. The twists you see 1/2 down the whip is there to absorb vibrations/corrugations. When travelling across corrugations The Doc calls it the hula girl.

This aerial is fitted to a GME TX3520S.

The aerial on right of screen is the RFI CD961-71-75. It has interchangeable antenna whips which operate at 6.5dBi and 3dbi. The 3dbi whip is tiny at about 10cm long. The larger 6.5dBi antenna is fitted in the picture. This aerial is fitted to a GME XRS390C. I have a GME XRS-BT1 hands free kit to install on the GMEXRS390.

The handsets are mounted on the passenger’s side of the centre console, using the Brodit bracket.

The basic cable feed is shown in the second image.

Fire Extinguisher also mounted behind the driver’s headrest. It is a Firestryker fitted on Quick Fist Rubber Brackets, attached to the cargo barrier, with a few mods.

Spare 17 inch steel rim bought and picked up in Brisbane, way cheaper than buying from INEOS.

The Adventure is on hold

4X4, Australia, Uncategorised,

The Doc’s Great Adventure is on hold while The Doc recovers from serious injuries from a recent car accident. The other driver, for reasons unknown to The Doc, drifted to his side of the road causing an offset head on collision. The combined impact speed was estimated between 150 and 180kph.

The Doc was only 20 kilomters away from his destination when the accident occurred. His first trip since the lockdown and after completing consulting work.

Thankfully the last thing the Nissan Patrol did was save his life, but the car is written off. Sadly, the other driver is deceased.

The Doc hopes his next trip will be to Newhaven, AWC’s central Australian sanctuary in May 2023.
