I followed up on the RSS feeds, and our creative director/web manager will be working on an RSS feed option early in the new year. Thank you for the suggestion, great idea. Cheers Chris

Hmmm..... :wtf: let me just consult with my technical support team...... Back to you shortly. :icon-biggrin:

Well here you go folks, buckle up, we're off to Tasmania for a tour of the Apple Isle. For our UK mates, this is the little island off the southern coast of the mainland, a fantastic place for 4WDing (especially the wild west coast) and some of the most scenic spots Australia has to offer. We...

Hmmmm........V20......that's got me thinking.....just need to slide the seats riiiiight back....... :icon-cool:

Ummm....short answer..Yes !! :icon-biggrin: I can average around 18-19L/100kms (12mpg) if I'm nice and gentle with her on the highway. I won't write in a public domain what the 'full noise' consumption rate is in case the missus reads this. But lets just say low single digits in mpg...

Although we have members on here from across the globe, predominantly UK and Aussie based, tonight's show may be of interest to anyone considering a trip south of the Aussie mainland. Yes, I'm talking Tasmania. Anyone on here looking to tour Tassie? Have you been to Tassie but want to see more...

It was a decent size shoehorn, yes. We had to pretty much clear out the engine bay bar the engine itself, although a lot of gear came off that as well, and then build it all up again. But it's still the original engine, the head has never been off, and can shave a set of wheel studs off by just...

This is still one of my favourite photos...... :icon-cool:

Crispin, using some clever comparative proportioning tools, eyeballs, I have accurately measured the size of this supercharger and the available space under my bonnet. Yes it will fit with some minor tweaking, so the upgrade is on. I have sent the company a quote request, along with a manifold...

Hello again guys and Gals. This time we've been talking tyres, wheels, pressures, temperatures and a whole lot more. Excuse Andrew's 'Dad Jokes' introduction this week, but its all about having a laugh as we go. And it didn't stop there. Listen in via SoundCloud and let us know what you think...

This show we catch up with Mr4x4 himself - Pat Callinan, Mandy from TAWKers, and an old mate Ian 'Mac' McDougall. We chat about a variety of ideas when or if planning a trip with the kids. Plus a heap more as we babble our way through the evening. I hope you enjoy it, any feedback is welcome...

He guys, got some great news for our upcoming show this Monday night. Our time that is. We are catching up with the big fella himself, Mr 4x4 or sometimes known as Pat Callinan, for a chinwag on everything 4WD and caravanning this Monday night at 6pm. He is probably the biggest name in the 4WD...

We had a few more laughs last night on our Hills Radio 4WD, Caravan & Camping Show, although we did try and be a little serious. I was behind the controls, but luckily Andrew uses his media wizardry to cut all those 'blank' bits out for me when I miss the buttons in time. But hopefully there's...

All good Chris, I realise it was just observing and commenting. Funniest thing though that you wouldn't have heard, on our very first show, very first song straight in as we were trying to push out the previous guys from the studio, Andrew chucked on a Billy Thorpe song. About half way through...

Thanks for the feedback guys. Chris, I do have to watch my 'buggers' and 'bloody', but these words are pretty well accepted here. Yes, radio is much more strictly policed than TV. The broadcast rules are different for each. Go figure.... I don't use much colorful language anyway in normal...

Great write up Chris, and well done on achieving a highly respected Overlander. There's a lot of hours work and thought in that. Nice suspension too.... :icon-wink:

Hey, thanks Ed, that's awfully nice of you. Eric's a funny fellow, I enjoyed the show with him there. I reckon we will drag him back again for another chat. Enjoy your Saturday.

I'm back again guys with my ol' mate Andrew Kennedy, and this time we're talking about doing The Big Lap. Aussie style of course. We interview a few people doing or have done The Big Lap, and also have a special guest in the studio, my good mate Enrico the Butcher. We had some fun and laughs as...

Great to see the show of support and solidarity from around the world. Personally I can't see how the world will rid itself of this terror and fear without completely and utterly eradicating the animals who commit these atrocities, as well as those who incite and preach the hatred. Only then...

Well here you go folks, my co-host Andrew has worked hard and fast and sorted the second episode of our radio show '4WD, Caravan & Camping Show' already. We had great fun last night, even got a few messages and opinions along the way, which was great. Thank you. This has a special feature...

That's a nasty scratch on the Ol' girl. Bugger...!! Wish I could have been there, but the weather isn't my cuppa tea. Any chance of booking a sunny weekend for 2017...??

Guys, Crispin has kicked off a new sub-section title Podcasts further down the menu options on the Clubhouse. I will post in each week's episode for those whose lives are such a misery they desire to listen to me babble on....... :icon-biggrin: Of course any feedback is welcome, good, bad, or...

Hi Folks. Crispin has kindly set up a new sub-section for podcasts such as from our new radio show I am co-hosting along with my good mate Andrew Kennedy. We have only just recently kicked off this new show, after a couple of nervous practice sessions. But we did have a lot of fun on Monday...

:lol: .... Yes Chris. But I cover the 4WD stuff and my mate Andrew does the caravan scene. I must admit I've owned a couple of caravans and done a fair bit of touring in them. Quite popular out here, especially where a gazillion flies want to lift the steak off your plate and you can hide inside...

:think: Sounds like I'm best not knowing. This is a family show after all..... :icon-biggrin:

Look forward to it Karl. Whats with this HAT...! I'm guessing there's a story I'm not aware of.

Thanks guys. I do wish I was there. TonyS and I were just chatting this morning its been while since we caught up. Unfortunately I may not be back until 2017 at best. Might have to convene a get together for that and shake a few hands. In the meantime have a ball, and good luck to all those...

This is better than watching the cricket..... :icon-biggrin:

Welcome Al. Plenty of Aussies roaming around here keeping the place tidy and edumacated. Where are you based?

I like many others generally operate at close to the maximum of memory capacity. When something goes in it means something must go out. I'm very worried that carefully retained images of boobies and Landcruisers have been replaced with rainbow coloured Unicorn shit. There should be warnings with...

Most of the scamming or phishing emails I get everyday funnily enough seem to originate from the UK. I haven't been able to drill down further, but I'd hazard a guess they're mostly from Yorkshire. :whistle:

That's a rippa Andy. I laughed until my belly rippled on its own. :lol:

Since sliced paint, Frank?? Must be good. :icon-wink:

Mike, it seems a shame after all your set up and work put into it, but that's just the way it works out sometimes. I hope the next person appreciates all your efforts. Best of luck with it. Cheers

OK no worries Malteser. We Aussies got the 79 series as a tray back utility. Bit confusing hey. If you can get the free height info from the distributor for your coils, you can slip yours out and check. Anything more than 10mm should be changed. But maybe that extra wheel is the issue after all...

A Lizard is wandering through the Australian Outback when he smells something funny. he looks around then looks up in a tree and sees a Koala smoking. "Hey Koala!" he shouts, "What'cha doin'?" "Smoking dope" The Koala replies. Out of curiosity, the Lizard climbs up the tree and soon the pair of...

Some of us old farts will appreciate this. Crispin........

Malteser, most sets of springs for the 79 series are identical in free height and therefore the codes are the same and makes no difference to which side they are fitted. However there is in our range a couple of options for LHS and RHS springs at specific spring/load rates, but these are always...

Good one Shayne. ^^ Very lucky Scott. I'd be enquiring with the bank about these repeat issues too. 3 Strikes - Your out !!

Lucky fellow Sammy, I bet you're wearing a big grin.

Either engine will benefit from adding an intercooler to the charged intake system. The cooler the air on entry to the combustion chamber, the denser the air therefore the more oxygenated the air is. That is a known factual outcome of colder air where other factors remain the same such as...
