We read plenty of negative posts about dealers and dealer service. But I have had two positive experiences with Dandenong now. 1. At the 20k service the price on pick up was about $80 less than quoted, now this was right at the time that nationwide pricing came on line, and as a result the set...

After a fair bit of research, I finally bit the bullet, and ordered one of these about 8 weeks ago, it was built to order with a few customisations, such as 16" wheels, Drifta kitchen and storage box, lockable box at the wheel arch, and specific placing of Jerry and Gas holders. Regarding...

Queensland cousins, can any of you make a recommendation for a caravan Park in the Gold Coast/Broadbeach area? There area a few listed, Gold Coast Caravan and Camping Accommodation Finder But I'd love some advice as to which is best located. Or If you have other ideas, I'd be happy to hear...

Took the family up for a BBQ lunch and drive. I saw something I havent seen before, this log track. It went for several hundred metres or so, and I can only imagine it was put in to help recover tracked machines? see pics (if i can make photo bucket work!)

I bought one of these a few weeks ago for $30. Comes with 8 sockets, in line oiler, extension bit, and oil. I used it today to rotate the tyers, and I'd have to say pretty good value. I dont think it would stand up to commercial use, but for domestic use, seems to be up to the task. Has a...

I bought an in car uhf today, but the choice of antennas was a bit limited in the shops I tried. Because most of my driving is pretty hilly, I'm thinking 4.5 db is what I need. However all the antenna's I can see in this range have very piddly looking mounts and no springs. I want to mount...

I answered the phone today, to the classic sub-continent tele-marketers voice. She was kindly ringing from the 'windows support centre' to inform me that the pc in my house had downloaded viruses, and went on to explain the possible damage they could do. "Oh, and which computer in my house has...

Got home late last night to find that RATS have chewed through the hot water pipe in the laundry. (Auspecs) Can you believe it???? Luckily my wife noticed a hissing sound and then that the laundry was flooded, and called a mate to come around to turn off the water, since I wasn't home. So...

Saw this car today, its the Beijing version of the divy van. Its def got some d22 blood, but also some significant differences. Sounds like a petrol engine, and I'd say 4cylinder. The tub has a row of seats, and you can access through the back door, so its not really a tub. Interesting.

Since fitting the isolator, and doing a three day trip with it, I noticed that the water levels in both batteries is down by about 10mm. This seems odd to me, and I assume is an indication if the batteries being under stress. The batteries were only running the fridge overnight, between a...

A few of us were discussing the use of a tree trunk protector as an equaliser strap. (as recommended by a 4wd $hop) Now if thats one less thing I need to buy and carry, i'm not complaining. The question I have though, is a Tree Trunk protector designed to take a ballistic load as in a decent...

One the jungle one day, the elephant gets a thorn in his foot, and he just cant get it out. So, one by one all the animals try to get it out, the lion can't, the crocodile can't, every animal tries, but to no avail. By now the elephant is in a lot of pain, and up walks a mouse. The mouse is...

Over the holidays I've been using a borrowed socket set, (Kinchrome) which I took home from work to put on my bash plate and winch. But sadly I need to return it in the next week or so. So I need to buy one. I'm after advice on what I really need for use on the nav. So far I think; 1/2"...

I had a go at the border track last september, while I had a great trip, I underestimated the distances in sand. So I'm going again in July this year. I would love to tackle the simpson with Jase, but I just can't expect my young boys to sit in the car three days each way to get too and from...

Heath's d22 I thought it was about time I started a ride thread, and posted up what I've done and what was next. I bought the d22, at the end of June'10 after looking at a range of 4wd's and having previously owned a '97 Cherokee, and '93 (i think) pathfinder. With a budget of 30k I looked at...

Picked up the sump guard today, brown davis supplied by TJM. I cannot for the life of me see where it attaches. anyone able to put up a pick? its only six bolts, so it cant be that hard!

As a result of the weekends activities, I sustained a little panel damage, cause by rear bumper bottoming out and being hit up in to rear panel, below tail light. Anyway its about 3 mm deep and about the size of a fifty cent piece, but since the paint came off I want to get it fixed before it...

I was given an old engel fridge today, because it supposedly wasn't working... I bring it home plug it in to the 240 volt, and instant hummmm and its ice cold about 20mins later. so I plug it into the 12v, but no luck. I test the plug and there is power there, (no multi meter, so I dont know...

I'll be heading up to Toolangi, on 20th dec and will spend two nights camping with the kids. My boys are about to turn 5 and 6. So they are pumped about it. I'll probably camp at either Bull crk camp area or, the campsite indicated near the end of Kalatha rd and Murrindindi rd. (rooftop map...
