Darren, agree, I was totally over it doing this on the ground. When the guys at Dobinsons dropped the old coils out they found the passenger side top hat screws had rattled loose, yet the drivers...

No issue @MB

I started with Shannons then swapped to Club4x4 as they had a much cheaper rate, then the second year their policy went up 40% so after calling them and getting the bums rush and no return call,...

All good Mark, thanks for remembering! The channel that runs across the front of the radiator was bent 'inwards and canted the catch over towards the bullbar' - extreme description but you get the...

Further update on under bonnet temps after a 30 minute run down the freeway. The under bonnet temps are sitting at 75deg when cruising and site at circa 80 deg C soak after 10 minutes stopping, which...

Also bought one of these after the spring guys had trouble getting the rear end to drop down far enough for the longer springs....

OK, update time.
Marks4x4 5th gear. Pre install 1925rpm at 100khr, now smack on 1600. Fuel now down to 15 - 17l/100, pretty damn happy, and sink the boot in 5th and off he goes. Whether this is the...

He is so grown up, and first job, good for you and your wife, testament to a sound upbringing Darren.

Bloody Telstra. We upgraded to the NBN a couple of years ago when it became avail. Telstra or their installation agents did the actual installation and configuration of the 'boxes' inside the house...

Marks 4x4 5th over drive installed today, pick the truck up tomorrow, expect i will go from 200l/100klm to 180l/100klm, as long as i am rolling with a tail wind.

You are a very talented man, looks great, congratulations Nic

OEX are fine, had a couple, reliable.

If it isnt MB I am getting worried about another virus mutation. Those web address fragments might be loaded with something?

Is that you @MB?

Darren, there was no next spring, it was the same spring going straight back in. I don't have the head room to jack the vehicle any higher. i accept what you are saying, but it just does not relate...

It simply makes changing the springs easier if they are shorter to begin with, especially when working off the garage floor. I apply the spring clamp to the compressed spring when the weight is on...

Thes coil spring compressors arrived today, replacements to the two i destroyed on the 300kg rear coils. They look well made and should be stiffer than the originals - again, probably won't use them...

Thanks Cuppa, they will do just nicely.

I am looking at a second set of road tyres and will probably go the same ones that Cuppa has selected, simply like the tread pattern and square shoulder, but will have to check the load rating as...

I have just swapped my BFG KM2's for Kumho MT71. The load rating and construction was the same on paper, and the price difference enormous - $480 V $310 each. The ride is difference, does not feel as...

Sounds like you have a problem a few on here would envy!

Interesting perspective, I think we are at opposite sides of the universe right now. Maybe the wearing of masks would be easier for some if the 'gubberment' sent out cheques or maybe free 'telly's'...

You will adapt, no one has died in melb from wearing a mask for the last 4 months. Think of it as personal protection.

I have a lightning app Ion my phone that i use with the site lightning radar. Its been blaring all arvo but very little heard. I also have a dedicated lightning tracker i carry both on site and with...

Yep, sitting on a razor blade right now as i am booked to return to the mine in QLD on Feb 3. The only 'good' thing about the QLD scenario is that they now have a couple of Corona cases so they may...
