The last 2 times I've had my truck serviced my mechanic has suggested that if I intend to keep the old girl, that I should consider a turbo upgrade as she has now done over 110,000Ks. I asked him why and he recons that the stock turbos don't last much past 100,000 :confused3: Any body here...

A couple of weeks ago while at Landcruiser Park, I was trying to hold position on a steep, rough, loose, rocky track while waiting for my mate to clear an obstacle. While sitting there I had the unsettling feeling of a slowly sinking brake pedal. Twice I ran out of peddle and had to pump like...

]Hi Guys, It's been a while so I thought I better touch base and let you know whats been happening in DVR land. In Dec 2011 we moved from Adelaide to the Gold Coast ,but it wasn't exactly smooth sailing. All the furniture went with the removalist and we hitched the caravan to the NAV, Loaded it...

Lake Mckenzie carpark Fraser Island

mahino wreak Fraser Island

When the wife and I did cape york back in 93, the intention was to do Fraser Island on the way back. However the car broke down and we lost a week getting repairs and then the Wife got sick with a bad flu so we skipped Fraser and came straight home. So Fraser was unfinished business. Well My...

The News tonight carried the sad story of the early death of 4X4 legend Malcom Douglas. Apparently he died from massive chest injuried after he was pinned to a tree by his fourby. We'll miss you mate goodbye

Easy to make but a PITA to get it fitting right in the bar as it had to be trial fit about 6 times to get right. It's an 200mm wide 8mm plate bolted by 6 M10 high tensile bolts to the top on the chassis horns. The hitch it self is from a H/D tow bar that I scored free from one of our clients...

I did this mod a few weeks ago and only thought about posting them just now. Being a non-smoker and not allowing anyone to smoke in my cars, the D22 having 2 ashtrays really bugged me as they are a waste of space. Well the D22's only got 1 outlet so I had to do something cos were going to...

Any one else here watch Whale Wars? It's all been good but this seasons been a cracker!!

Having just removed my center dash surround to reome the ashtrays and fit 2 12V outlets in their place, I's inadvertently scratched up the silver paint a bit. I went and had a look at the selection of touch up paints at SUPERCHEAP ans quickly realised that there is silver paint and then there is...

LOOK!!! a VERY lifted hairdryer :sarcastic: I think theve suffered enough. This is for 4.8GU:flowers:

Another thing that ticks me off is channel 9 padding TOP GEAR out till 9pm with adverts and then calling it SUPERSIZE!!!!!! Also repeating the old ones ad nauseam. Why couldn't they just leave it on SBS?

Thought I would start this so as to help us find local tracks for quick afternoon wheelin' action So I'll kick it OFF "Golf Links Rd LOBETHAL" My Garmin found it easily and it was a nice drive out there with the family this time of year. It's a fun "dry weather only" track that wasn't dry...

I dunno if there is already a link to something like this on this forum, so I apologize straight up if there is. OK? I found a handy calculator here for working out tyre size differences. Here You give it the standard size and what size you considering and it overlays the two tyres in the...

Like it says Guys' I'm looking at "cheap" Ebay winches. I've been lamenting the fact that there are no ALDI stores in Adelaide so the ALDI $400 winch is unavailable to me. I figure even getting someone to buy me one and ship it over is gonna add maybe $100 to it so that's $500. This one is...

I've been thinking of trying Loveday out as a camping holiday. My family love roughing it by the River. We used to go to HOGWASH by Waikerie but the last few times we went there we were over run by ferals on dirtbikes and public access crown land is dissapearing fast. So who's been to loveday...

I've had it up to here(points to top of head) with my pathetic internet connection, Bloody TELSTRA, when they laid the cables for our sub division only 12 years ago (internet existed then), they pair gained the whole suburb. Which means that most of the area can only get dial up and then only...

Nah that's not a typo :big_smile: I want to get a CB for the NAV and I've been wondering how to rout the coax through the firewall. When I put the spotties on, I searched high and low and was unable to find any grommets to use. In another life the NAV had spots but the previous owner had removed...

Having seen the winch that ALDI are selling I was lamenting only having a factory STR alloy bar, but then I got to thinking "What's the difference between a winch bar and a non winch bar?" I figure the winch cant be mounted directly to an Ally bar cos Both the the bar and those concertina mounts...
