    4x4 Response

    Hi Guys, Just a quick question. Are there still active 4x4 response networks around? Been checking on national and H&B response webpages and they look very out of date with no real input for sometime. Thank you

    Preparedness???????

    I believe in preparedness and being equipped but after doing two weeks in the Rub Al Khali (Empty Quarter) in Saudi Arabia I must say that I had less than a third of all that gear and still managed.

    Preparedness???????

    As this is an open forum I thought I would take a shot in the dark and ask you all your views on preparedness. As keen off roaders I am sure that most, if not all of you have a certain amount of gear / equipment in your respective vehicles in anticipation for an eventuality. This could and is...

    I have a 100 series and I have had the rear swing out wheel carrier modified to carry a box that will hold two 20ltr jerry cans. As a rule in general day to day use I make sure that the cans are empty and for extra safety I turn them upside down and then ensure the locking straps are in place. I...

    Thrust Bearing Washer wear

    All the mods did have an increase in power but to be honest I can't tell yuo exactly how much it was as it was never dyno tested.

    Thrust Bearing Washer wear

    Surprisingly the crank is in perfect condition with no marking on them at all. To be honest it does not even look like the cranck bearings need a polish even though I would insist on doing it to make 100% sure.
