    Australia to the US, with my Rubicon...

    Thank you Kent, I’m still waiting here so the Con after Jambo would work. I’ll keep you up to date with any progress.

    Australia to the US, with my Rubicon...

    Thanks Kent, I’m still at the mercy of Customs. Still no “Rubi” so for me to book anything is a gamble that mightn’t pay off. I have spoken with a US Customs officer and he can’t tell me when I can get her out. Halfway through the trip of a lifetime and it’s all turn to crap. No words except...

    Thank you for those details. The Blue Ridge Parkway is a must for me and I’ve been told that I must run “ The Tail of the Dragon” so these are on the list

    It won’t matter to me as I’ll be back at work and I have a second vehicle to get around with. I surrendered my Jeep 8 weeks prior to boarding the plane, so I’m thinking a similar return.

    Australia to the US, with my Rubicon...

    Thank you Kent, even though I have been delayed, I have all intentions of running the Rubicon. If you can speak with the president, that would be much appreciated.

    Australia to the US, with my Rubicon...

    In case you guys thought I may have fallen of the map, I haven’t. I have been waiting for Customs to clear my vehicle and as of today (Sunday the 15th) I’m still waiting. She landed in the US on the 24th of last month. Fingers crossed that the next few days will result in a positive outcome. I...

    Looking for some information and need some help from the Australian OB members

    http://www.mccdandenong.com.au/index.php?route=product/product&manufacturer_id=23&product_id=16428&page=3 Hello Krytos, I had a look around the web and like you, couldn't see any side profile pics so I rang the company. The rep on the phone wasn't 100% but believed that the top loop leans...

    Australia to the US, with my Rubicon...

    Hey Kent, one of the major goals of my trip is running the Rubicon so yes, I might have to cut short the East Coast tours, but the West remains the same.

    Minor hiccup with the shipping... Apparently, she is now on a different ship with a revised ETA. Was the 10th of June, now the 24th. Bugger. No doubt there'll be a few things to do in Charlotte before then anyway.

    Australia to the US, with my Rubicon...

    Here's a pic of the finished unit installed. The fridge is mounted on the left side as there is a slide that allows the fridge to roll out. I would've preferred it on the right but some times you just have to work with what's available to you. Even though the fridge is mounted high, I can still...

    The drawers are made from gal steel so cutting them down wasn't too bad. I found that by unpicking the end wall of the drawers and cutting the excess from the end of the drawers saved me from disturbing the lock and face. This is the shortened unit before mounting in the Jeep.

    While I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting for the calendar to tick over another month, I thought I should update this thread with mods that have been done.. One item that is big over here for anyone who's decking out their forby, is a rear drawer system. The idea of being able to stow a multitude...

    Australia to the US, with my Rubicon...

    My shipper is keeping me in the loop. The container is sitting on a Chinese dock waiting for a US bound freighter to pick her up. The particular freighter is making its way from Singapore now. Thank you for your wishes, the clock is ticking and I'm getting excited about it. I'm expecting the...

    The idea did cross my mind, but if the container is buried deep in the hold of the ship, I couldn't see the signal getting out.

    I know that I can track the ship, but not the individual container.
