G'day all. Here is the opportunity to express any ideas (comical or not) you may have which will make life easier for us 4wd enthusiasts.
For the oil burners: Instead of having a sump plug, simply run a line to a filter and then pump the sump oil directly to your fuel tank. Saves dropping oil on the ground and gives you cheap diesel.
Disclaimer: Don't forget to refill the engine with oil. Not to be used when the fuel tank is too full to receive the oil. And it may eventually kill your engine??
When suction wont let your vehicle be recovered: Why not have an air solenoid running a set of nozzles fitted in the floor of your Patrol. Turn your on-board compressor on, flick a switch, sit back and enjoy the recovery.
To stop that nasty roll when you have pushed your vehicle beyond its centre of gravity: Why not have a couple of strong metal pipes fitted to air pistons. Simply hit the button and relax as the poles shoot out the sides and support the vehicle.
Disclaimer, may cause injury or death to any bystanders. Not to be used as a punitive measure against arrogant cyclists or traffic wardens.
