Congrats guys!! thats the name i want to name my future son!! All the best for the future.

Just to inform you all, Bek gave birth to an absolutely gorgeous baby boy (der!) this morning at 6:05am.

Name: Garrett Nicholas Lee

Time: 6:05am

Good luck guys and by the love we saw this afternoon, I have no doubt that Garrett has two very loving parents ;) We wish you all the very best on your new journey in life and enduring the ups and downs that parenthood brings.

Yeah he'll be alrite. He is a genuine Garrett, not a cheap chinese copy.

Bad luck getting both at once, but I guess better now than later in life. Wouldnt want him missing out on 2 weeks of school or anything exciting and as usefull as that.

But seriously he'll be ok.

Bek again (meh to changing into account)... he seemed alot better when we were up there tonight... I was even able to give him a breastfed without him falling asleep (up until now he just didnt have the energy to fed and would fall asleeP) So fingers crossed that this a sign of things to come.

ill update again tomorrow sometime...

Thanks everyone for all the well wishes and support, it means alot!

Update - (bekky again)

He didnt get worse overnight :D and seems to be back to the point before he got pneumonia... must be everybody praying and wishing him well for him.

thanks again everyone, it means alot to me and Jason to have this support at the moment.

Bekky again

Garrett was discharged today :) We are now at home. Vistors are only welcome if you are in NO WAY sick... Mummy and Daddy are very very protective of his health now. So no afternoon/night time outtings, no cuddles with sick ppl....

We are very thankful to have our little boy home!

what great news guys!

lets make that the last hospital visit for quite a while hey Garrett. :) Mummy and Daddy's nerves have had quite enough i think.

And i hope he gets back into routine easily for you bek. :S

Jaime Mike & Tarquin.

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
