What a story; absolutely awesome! Aaron

Nice mate. Looks tidy :D Aaron

My Hilux used to howl too, which I believe stemmed from getting a bit of water inside the diff. I had the mechanic strip it down, and his analysis was the hard facing on the crownwheel was wearing. He suggested replacing it, but we decided to only replace the bearings and see how it went. The...

Welcome mate! Aaron

Very shiny mate! Love it Aaron

We've had an RV5 for a while now, with all the accessories A couple of things - We pack everything bar the ropes, pegs and poles into the main bag (this is the tent, peaked sides and the front panel). We detach the front room and put it on top of the tent in the bag. It is a tight fit! - The...

Awesome! A photo tells a thousand words Aaron

I just got 2 new ones for my 80, and they seem to be shaky too. Also from eBay. A mate one for his Prado the other day too, and he is not happy with them (also eBay) Aaron

I've got twin Eaton Harrop ELockers; they work very well. I pulled the diff apart, took it to a workshop and they installed it. I believe these are the same as the OEM ones for many of the cruisers? Aaron

Welcome mate Aaron

Looks well built, but as you say, it would be heavy. I've seen one very similar, with twin pull out tables and fold down legs. Drifta make a heap of awesome designs over here Aaron

That's insane. A shorty too; this would be unstoppable! Aaron

Paintball is a heap of fun. The buggies sound awesome too Aaron

Very tidy looking Volvo mate. Shame to hear about the Prado; must have been a lemon! Aaron

Haha. Things like that are probably normal in some of the third world countries. I've seen 6 people on a 50cc scooter in bali Aaron

Hahaha. Unreal. I guess it was hungry Aaron

Haha they do have a unique smell, don't they! We've had a few litters from our border collie; always a lot of fun Aaron

There's been a few people killed in Australia by broken tow balls. It is seriously scary, and the education around 4WDing isn't at the level it should be. I saw a 4WD club down south a few years ago join two snatch straps with a shackle, and I just walked away in dismay. I always try to reduce...

Very tidy mate. Looking forward to this build Aaron

Cute pup. Do you know what breed it is? Aaron

Looks tough, whatever it is! Aaron

That's a tidy looking cruiser. They seem to hold their value all over the world! Aaron

Welcome Ross Aaron

Thanks guys. You should most definitely come to WA - the coast here is incredible, and there is plenty to see inland too. For example, Karijini National Park is often referred to as the best national park in Australia! Feel free to ask any questions, and let me know when you are over here! Aaron

I've got an Evakool 55L Fridge Freezer. You could either power it off the cigarette plug, or cut it off and install a different one (like an anderson) or run your own cabling to the back of the vehicle. If the cabling is not thick enough, you will lose voltage from the engine bay to the rear...

Haha priceless Aaron

Not a bad idea at all - I think I'll have to do this Aaron

The handbook wouldn't be for 285's though - generally the bigger the tyre the less air you need in it Aaron

Yeah, we burn our annual leave every year travelling. In march this year we did 3 weeks down south - Israelite Bay in Esperance to Thomas River, Orleans Bay, Stokes National Park, Bremer Bay, Albany, Denmark and Dunsborough. The year before we did 3 weeks up north - Karijini, Cleaverville...

Thanks for the welcome guys. It's actually a turbo diesel - 1HDT engine. Also, I forgot - it's got a safari front mount intercooler! Aaron

Nice work mate - this thing is looking good. In regards to the roof rack, I believe the best design is to have a length of flat bar that runs the length of your gutters, which is welded to the top section of the roof rack. Then, you can use 3 - 4 clamps to secure it and be sure the load is as...

G'day guys, Great to be here. I drive a 1990 80 series, which has been slowly modified into a capable tourer I've done a heap of mods: - ARB winch bar - Narva LED light bar - Narva replacement reflectors and plus 120 globes - Safari front mount intercooler - ARB replacement wiring loom - Icom...
