We're running Kelly Safari TSR 265/70 R17 from memory.

Know 2 other 4x4s running them and none have had any issues. Paid about $220 each when we got 5 :)

Well ... it's done ... i'm poor, and our Patrol looks amazing!
Gained about 75mm on the back and slightly less on the front :D :D

Before and After - sunlight is a bit naff, so hard to see the...

We did it :)
Took us a while to measure it all up and cut the wood to size. We're shaped it nicely at to back, so the top part sits flush against the cargo barrier, but power down is open to give...

If you are driving from Adelaide, it's over 7 hours, allowing for some stops for food etc. So I would recommend having at least 4-5 days there.

The national park is all 40km/h, but some bits you...

Howdy Folks!
Spent 8 days camping at Coffin Bay (between 26th Dec-3rd Jan) and drove all over the place, so thought I'd add some tips :)

So - the national park is good. It's $10 entry for the day...

Didn't bother with them in the end :)

Booked in with TJM on 22nd! Can't wait!!

Looks like we're gonna go with TJM - great advice and good recommendations, with sound explanations.
Also decided to not bother with RTC Steering damper, just the Tough Dog Heavy Duty steering...

Soooo, we decided to keep with the tent, and replace our camping mats with some that roll up smaller :)

As we're going with friends, we told them, and they have also come to the same conclusion...

Totally agree!
This was through Tyrepower.

Original work done by the Gawler, SA branch, who wouldn't budge on the $300 offered.
The Parafield, SA branch are owned by the same people, who we...

Hey All,

I just called AAMI about our Patrol renewal. 2006 GU with some extras. Market value was $25,000 - changed to agreed value of $28,000. With $450 excess and included windscreen cover....

Hi All,

Fantastic news to announce - the work has been done :)
Studs, nuts, lock nuts and rim replaced with new ... yep, brand new RIM too !!
Plus the brake housing straightened up.

A...

Hey All,

After a quick call to the interstate head office, they have very kindly agreed to arrange the repairs. The rim will be replaced with a second hand one, and the rest will be new parts....

So, further to my previous posts .... the garage in question have offered us $300 towards our excess. Costs have been estimated at $2250, so not happy with this.

Nissan confirmed that the...

So, further update ....

Spoke to Nissan, who confirmed there was no recall for this, but rather the indicators were supplied to allow you identify if the nuts had been correctly tensioned and...

I used to do a lot of driving for work, and spent a lot of this time on the phone (also for work). I have always used hands free (10+ years), as I have always chosen to drive manuals. I used to text...

This is where we did a bit of damage ... oops :P

see our front tyre is stuck inside the tractor tyre - but the bit ditch in front cause some damage to the plastic clips for the mudguard and...

Spent the March long weekend camping here, and 4x4 track access all day Saturday. 3 Patrols, 1 Landcruiser.
There are a few 'learner' tracks before you get to the main tracks - so any people who are...

Somewhat late - but been to Jakem Farm and really liked it. Some great tracks and some great mud to attempt to get through ..... we had no success, nor did other groups attending that day ... but...

So, to close off this thread, we're going with the Ctek 250s Dual (options to add solar panel at a later date) and going with the piranha battery tray.
Looking at Supercharge AllRounder MRV70...

We have the larger 2.4 x 1.2 rack with 4 bars and really like it. Impressed that with 2 people we can still easily lift it up there.
One thing to remember is that the rack mount onto the bars in...

Went here over the June long weekend this year.
8 bush camps spread over a large area (could very faintly here the generator on the camper at the next nearest...

Thanks all - but I wasn't writing this for sympathy - more to try and prove that some of those nasty rumours about smoking (and it's dangers) are quite really, and affect normal people like us.

Hey all,

Before I start, this is for encouragement only - I'm not trying to scare anyone . . . . .

Some of you may know that I recently had to travel back to England. Long story short, my...
