Bugged looks like she's coming out then

Yep 8 years is still along way away and a large part of the time frame is around getting our kids through school and being able to get the funds well sorted so that we don't have to cut out things...

The thinking is that we will probably go anti clockwise and head to the Cape first, we are ever open to input on this. Not to worried about getting to Tasmania as it may stretch our time frame abit...

We are planning on landing the cars in Sydney as this will help us to keep the transport costs down.
The main reason for the 6 months is that we can have the vehicles in Aussie for 6 months without...

So 2 years ago Fiona my fantastic wife and I came up with the 10year plan. The plan is to load our Safari onto a ship and send it over to Australia so that we can spend 6 months driving around and...

Well it looks like my cam shaft might be a bit worn so I am investigating having it either reground or putting in a new one.
My question is has anyone managed to remove one with the motor in place...

Have to say I love my highlift, so many uses from being a jack, winching , as a spreader and a press, breaking beads on tyres and so many other uses that I haven't found yet I am sure

Bolted in some nice new shiny Raw Nitro rear shocks. The ride is now much nicer. The old ones were so shot they had nothing left no rebound at all

Not sure if they could have made that any harder if they tried

Rewired the light bar so I could get a WOF. 30" 180watts man it makes a difference :jawdrop:

Winters over so first thing in the morning I gave it a good wash and spot treated the rust that is starting in the stone chips on the bonnet, scratch marks on the roof. Then toward the end of the day...

Starting to think about my rear bar and have a few questions. In our 10yr plan we intend to come over to Australia with the Safari and spend 6 months driving around.
What I am looking for advice on...

Finished up and fitted my new bar yesterday so thought I would through some picks

It seems like a long time since I started this, no excuses just life getting in the way as it dose from time to time.
On Sunday I removed the chrome bumper ends off the front leaving just the...

Made a start on making my front bar. Have decided to use the factory pot winch basket and build off it

I run 33"muds all the time and have found that any shaking issues are caused by the following
1, in correct fitting on my part, the dot dose have to be lined up with the valve, otherwise they don't...

Not quite today but yesterday I got to finish work early and spent 4 fantastic hours out in the bush looking for a deer. Spooked one that barked at me, but that dosnt matter I got to spend 4 hours in...

Stripped my pot winch down. The drum had frozen onto the shaft, so I made a puller up and got to work. Man it made a ........ big bang when it finally let go. Greased it up put it all back together...

That's exactly what it is, open the drain on the bottom of the fuel filter and see if any water comes out. Unless you spend a lot of time in deep water it is most likely just condensation from the...

2" suspension lift, tyres wear out and then you replace them anyway :biggrin:

Mine burst about a month ago so I just stopped in at the hose doctors and they made up a new one out of an off cut from a job on a 30t digger
