For sale and will be taking to The Stratton Arms meet this weekend.
Pretty much as new. The awning was only fitted to my truck for a couple of years so is 99% clean. The sides are all 1.8m high so may need an added skirt if used higher. The rear slide-in side (end really) is wider at 1.9m. I...
With a tinge of sadness I’ve decided (with a bit of encouragement from Lynn) to sell the roof tent. So it’s on here first before it goes on eBay.
Howling moon 1.4m (I think) with the downstairs annexe. Older style fly sheet with 6 of the hooky things to hold the windows out. Light strips on two...
I’ve been watching videos from this guy for a few years. He’s always straight talking and knows his stuff being an independent mechanic all his life. He also happens to be a big Toyota fan.
Lynn sported this article this morning. The gist is that a car is posted for sale on eBay and the buyer turns up to buy with cash. Armed robbers then relieve said buyer of cash...
Some of you may remember the bad press the Suzuki SJ received some 25 or more years ago for falling over on the ‘moose avoidance test’ swerving around an object. Not so a well laden Landcruiser 80…
Must’ve been their lucky day!
Just bought meself an Ozpig like Nick’s. :dance:
Chap I’ve bought it from says he’s got 2 more and has a listing on eBay. I’ve yet to collect mine from Wymondham in Norfolk.

When I swapped my pads recently, I inspected the rear ones too. With the pads out, I found one of the stainless clips that line the ends where the ears of the pads sit to be inexplicably split in line with where one of the pads goes.
Question is, does anyone know where I can get these on their...
The members of Sussex 4x4 Response are fortunate to have use of an off road site which is part of the Goodwood Estate for a bit of off road practice. It’s got pretty much everything but mud, though the chalky surface has been like a skating rink at times in the past. Anyway, one of the members...
This guy just sums it up.
Sit down, put your feet up somewhere quiet and Enjoy.
This could be about as close to explaining the cruiser grin as you’ll get I think.
my front pads had begun to squeal so I ordered another set from Milners as the ones fitted had been so good.
I also ordered some rears but didn’t change these as there was plenty left on the Ferodo ones in there. I just gave them a bit of Copper Ease around the slidey bits and put them back...
…the yellow one at the end. Well, Is it?
I actually think some of these, the thumbnail included, are pretty darn cool. I’d love to see inside one.
Others I’m, er, not so keen on.
Found this with lots of comments below it from fellow sufferers. Looks like the whole axle shakes from side to side rather than just the steering making me think it’s bushings and panhard rod mountings though I’ve no experience of this myself. While I’m putting this up just for the visual...
In case I actually get round to fitting my winch, I’ve started looking at the parts I’ve accumulated and have noticed the fairlead I have is somewhat shorter in the letterbox department than my winch drum is wide.
Specifically it’s around 24 mm shy of each end at around 110mm from the point...
This one’s for sale near me. I spoke to the owner who used it for his shoots until one of the beaters put it in a ditch and broke the Diff which he replaced before laying it up in a barn for 8 years.
He seems realistic and says the engine and rad are good. There’s rust and dents to most panels...
Just found this. I know it’s in Oz and it’s not cheap but I cannot see this being made as a one off unless you’ve got the workshop to do it for less. Nice looking item too.

They are available for the 24 valve...
I’ve been watching quite a few of this guy’s work videos as big truck heavy recovery in the states while I’ve been couch ridden with man flu over the holidays. Fabulous truck and clearly bags of experience. This is probably most relevant to what we might encounter so have a look at his other...
I found this rather sobering. It’s tempting to feel safe when inside a big strong vehicle, but there’s bigger stronger vehicles out there. This clearly didn’t end well.
A while ago after replacing the element once, my radio aerial got bent over in a storm so I replaced the whole unit with an after market electric aerial. I just removed the Control circuit and wired to the motor direct and it’s worked well ever since.
It’s now taken a clout and broken the...
I’ve been watching this over the past few weeks. This guy is clearly full time on this build, but his fabrication and eye for what he’s doing seem pretty accurate with seemingly no plans to follow. It will be interesting to see how this turns out.
First things first… sorry! It’s a Land Rover! But please, bear with me. The design and time this thing takes to put up and pack away is amazing. Genius in fact. I do believe he’s thought of pretty much everything and kept it simple to use.
Now, if only it were done to a Landcruiser…
KARL!! :)
Just found myself watching this. What incredible patience and dedication these guys have and how lucky they are to have a relatively rust free example to start with.
Enjoy.
Sitting atop the Cruiser in our RTT on a campsite high above St Ives Cornwall with the wind howling and beginning to wish we were inside somewhere solid. It is blowing a hoolie out with some heavy gusts. We had to go out and rescue the Batwing and got that put away successfully. Had to tie the...
I’ve seen a few of these beasts on the road and they are big and powerful but I never gave their off road ability a thought, until this popped up.
I’ve no idea what make the tractor units are but they look mighty similar to the Oshkosh ones they have in the States.
One of our Sussex 4x4 Response member’s has decided reluctantly to sell his overland trailer which has only been used 6 times.
I cannot imagine this would be in anything other than as new condition knowing the owner.
Located in Shropshire.
PM me if interested and I’ll put you in touch.
According to The Express, (and we know just how measured and accurate they can be) use of dash cams in some countries in Europe is illegal. Even ownership in some of them can land you a fine.

Hopefully this will...
It seems that some new cars are being supplied with a new refrigerant in their AC systems. R1234YF. So what? Well, there’s a few good reasons to avoid cars with this gas in them. Aside from the cost, about 30 times that of 134A, incredibly it is flammable! What is even worse is that when burned...
Just came across this brilliant tool. It seems there’s quite a few makes and even a DIY kit to be had. Anyway, it’s certainly far better than the trusty gas axe.
There's been many mentions of Toyota Red Coolant on lots of threads. I finally found an explanation on Youtoob of different coolants, Toyota Red even gets a mention. Ok the video was offered, in fact I’ve managed to watch several of this guys videos and they all seem to be informative. I say...
This caught my eye for anyone wanting a 120 that’s had a full chassis refurb. Not cheap but then a galvanised chassis could be a very good investment knowing how these suffer with rust.
Doesn’t say petrol or diesel or whether LHD though...
