My Big tip for the Year - check your nuts
Posted: Mon Feb 20, 2012 3:42 pm
Over the weekend I had the misfortune to have a blowout on the trailer.
I've had the boat for 6 months now and no matter how much you tinker & prepare..... there is always something.
No worries, I have the tyre lever & jack on the Prado.
But the nuts on the trailer are a smaller size !!!
And even the spare was ubolted on with yet another size nut.
Thankyou to the little old lady who stopped to assist with the correct gear until I found my not so long ring spanners.
Have since gone out & purchased a multi sized wheel brace & may endeavour to buy nuts that fit both vehicle & trailer.
Anyway the kids caught 3 keepers in the almost bony dry Vic River above the Vic River Roadhouse.
