Fantastic setup! Great to see shots of it being used. Love the shot from behind with a bit of dust>

How do you find the stone stomper? was it easy to fit? I was thinking of putting one on my eagle for a big trip I have coming up as I too have very nice paint work to protect. I have the jerry holder that sits slightly below the drawbar height so I don't know how that may effect the stone stomper fitment...Was it easy to fit?

Easy enough to fit Bricki, and soes a reasonable job.
Knowing now what I didnt know then, I probably wouldnt have bought it though. Having the extended drawbar on mine is at the max recommended mesh length without a mid support bar. Because of this the sides arc in the middle leaving areas where crap can fly past and hit the camper.
The guards also stick out past the with of the protected areas and got absolutely peppered.
I will probably just end up making my own fixed/hinging angled protector.

Its been a while between posts so I thought I should put some pics up of our Easter weekend getaway.
We spent 4 days touring the Western Australian wheatbelt and goldfields area and had a blast.
Did around 1300kms including 400ish blacktop, 450ish gravel (110kph hyway type), and about 450kms tight bushy,sandy,rock trails.
The modified Eagle performed flawlessly and is the most comfortable, quickest, and easy to set up rig out of the bunch of nine that were there.
SO glad it has turned out the way it was planned.

Hi Greg

What sort of catch did you use to hold the shovel handle please?
I assume the black metal holder at the pointy end was made by you ?

Cheers and great work.

Peter

Hi Peter - Yep, made the spade end and used one 'quick fist' clamp on the handle.

I took the camper over a weigh bridge yesterday and was surprised to see 990kg with full water tanks.
I was expecting around the 800kg mark but it is what it is.
We will add around 150kg of gear, bedding, and food, etc, so at least we are staying under the 1200kg mark.

Looks like a Job well done  ;). I am so dopy, I was drilling out the pop rivets on my number plate and went straight through to the water tank :o. Stupid thing was, I was thinking the day before that I would need to be careful not to drill into the tank and then when I finally had time I was rushing the job and just pushed too hard on the drill ::). The next 3 rivets I put some timber there, just one rivet too late.

Your trailer is looking absolutely superb btw. ;D

You're not a leper Bricki. I nearly did the same thing  :o
