Outer Limits 4x4 Board

THANKS!

Good idea using a testlight - never heard that before - but it makes sense. (I'd have just played with a multimeter)

I'll try that tomorrow!

I have an alarm I'm going to fit to the 08 GU, which already has remote central locking. To get the alarm to lock/unlock my doors, where to I take it's door-wires? Do I have to run them all the way out to the door handle where the lock switch is? Cos that would be a PITA. I expect there's a little ...

what are you smokin?

www.fuglyfab.com works for me.

well it f#'n ought to have one - I have 2 gateposts, Nissan!

If there nothing in there when I finally get in, I'll put one in, nice and bright.

Stop laughing and rolling your eyes! The RH reversing bulb has gone in my brand spanking Pootrol (I'm not convinced it ever worked) so it's a simple bulb replacement. Hardly a technical operation and well within my skill level - I thought -until 'tried to get the plastic cover off and guess what -no ...

I might not have ... But it's certainly still do-able.

I use SmartComGPS in place of Ozi on the phone - very similar in features to OziCE or perhaps a bit better even. There are freeware converters to it's map format from JPG, ozi maps etc. Works like a charm, and i always have it in my pocket.

Handius maximus.

No-one buys a jeep for it's technology or functionality.
It's like a pair of lacey underwear - it has a certain look and it fits on youre Mrs' arse, what more do you want?

Here's my front discos in place - are they too long? http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h226/muirnin/22052008157Medium.jpg THEY MAKE A HELL OF A RACKET! Is that normal? When I checked what all the noise was about, I saw the pins had bent too, just on normal road use (and a slightly bumpy driveway ...

I want to get rid of my cigarette lighter plugs and install something different. My old dad has what I think are "Hella" or "Merit" plugs in his truck. My BMW 1150 GS Adventure (big off road touring bike) has the same, built-in. Where do I get these cheap(ish)? There's a dude on ebay that sells them ...

Bandaids are good for leeches, but not much else. They used to say put a bandaid over a snake bite to collect sprayed venom, which could be used to test for the kind of snake - but it's BS. All they do is help a leech bite which would otherwise free-bleed and cause a mess. If it's such a small ...

l trained as a Rescue Medical technician -a course for remote area paramedical staff on Mining sites etc (1 lived on an island at the time andisi1 ran the paramedical care unit.) I have a big Kit which I put together myself, and some smaller kits for day walks and to keep in the car all the time ...

Be prepared though: they cost a small fortune. Good gear though

Take the windscreen Out and wear a motorcycle helmet.

Drive backwards.

Get a pair of these, and stick your head out the window.

That's about as think as my middle finger, perhaps a bit thicker.
I didn't know they made them thicker than that.

I have a mic 'gooseneck' if that's what you mean.. http://jaycar.com.au/products_uploaded/productLarge_132.jpg Cheap ($13) but I only used it to make a map light (and put my handsfree kit microphone on the end too, so i can move it nearer to my mouth when it's tres-noisey) It wouldn't hold a laptop ...

Some tyre are good in some kinds of mud but not others; there's a big difference between the stuff you get in the deep dark valleys around buller/stirling, and the mud you find in the blue mountains - chalk and cheese. When a lot of people say a tire is great in mud - which mud are they talking ...

Hummer replica? Where's my pic? We need pictures!

Neither will a S watt when you're in a gulley. Get an EPIRB.

Ten me about it! I want some just for the logo and he description.

Most people don't need a $400 uhf. Get a basic unit off ebay, like http://cgi.ebay.com.au/GME-ELECTROPHONE-TX4200-5WATT-40CH-UHF-CB-DIN-MOUNT_W0QQitemZ330239332345QQihZ014QQcategoryZ1501QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Or a remote head if you need it, http://cgi.ebay.com.au/GME-Electrophone ...

I have an N82, which runs the same operating system as an N95, and an N73... I run Route66 for the turn-by-turn street directory function, SmartComGPS for the OziExplorer style functions (it's very similar, but on my phone) and 3dtracking to automatically upload breadcrumbs of where I am from the ...

Some batteries are designed to be bashed around (good speed boat batteries, 4WD speciality units) and some are not (truck, big boat, car) If you get one that's not, the plates can be too thin or not secured well enough, and can break off, short out ... dead battery. As long as it's 12v, and not deep ...

Having hand winched a cruiser far enough to know you don't want to hand winch a cruiser, I'd say get a cheap chinese electric winch off ebay, and an exhuast jack. I've personally watched 2 different people brake bones using hilifts and won't use one.

they are ALL dangerous - the basic concept of lifting the car up 'high' on a single little leg is inherenly unstable. the number of people who get crunched when their car falls off them is massive. get an exhaust jack and don't trust it an inch. or get your hi-lift and don't lift it more than a foot ...

Sorry to ressurect, but when I saw this picture, I just KNEW this was a good home for it.

This thread needs pictures.

Have you read the specs? What's going on there? 4.2 Litre turbo ... 90 kw flat out, 282 nM. Leafs in the back. Mega-pov pack with no stereo, and it's not even an option. For some reason it has no stereo, no aerial, but it still has speakers?? For what? 80L sub fuel tank, which I would like... But it ...

Actually, it is doable. You can either tapes glue the chipl in thesteering column,then immobilize the car elsewhere, oryou can spend $25 on a bypass module called a DEI 556U. That's the universal transponder bypass module which lets you leave the immob; in place and still make it work. Pirate guys ...

Oh yeah.

I have a mate who registered a 6 wheeled armoured personnel carrier- not sure how though - some kind of special rego.
