kiss getting stuck goodbye, you have to pretty much bolt a car down with these puppies on to get stuck

chances are if you cant understand what they are saying, its probably not worthwhile knowing.

how would a carbie flood going up big hills? if anything the mechanical fuel pump would starve to carby of fuel, but luckily most carbies have a big enough bowl to hold enough fuel at a time to prevent starvation, and you wont need a surge tank..

alot of people use stainless filler rod, including myself on mild steel applications as it greatly reduces perosity, i guess i see things more from an engineering perspective, as it gets very nitty gritty when drawing on CAD software and there are 20 white collar know it alls wanting perfection.

its like saying sure u can weld your rocksliders onto your chassis, 'she'l be right mate!' not understanding the physics and properties of steel can be near fatal depending on where the weld is and what its doing, thats why engineering exists

hey guys im looking to upgrade to 37" wheels for my lux i was wondering what gear you guys run in terms of drivetrain for them, hubs, bearings, stronger steering arms etc, id be quite annoyed with wheel bearings having to be changed monthly because of excess pressure 37" tyres put on the stock ...

The best way to successfully weld SS to MS or even Hardened Tool steel to MS is to use Magna 303 welding rod mfg by Magna Industrial, Australia. It has been tried and tested and is the only successful way to weld different steels and the weld has a tensile strength of 1,20000 psi, but these rods are ...

yes the tube frames look quite tricked up, but have you got a pipe/tube/mandrel bender? answer is probably no, do u have $1000 to buy a decent one ? maybe, square ones look just as good, although i will admit ...

as a sheetmetal worker i suggest u grab a pen, a piece of paper. and brainstorm. flick through 4wd magazines, incorporate and modify designs and come up with something unique. I find a 4wd magazine to be the best inspiration for projects.

work out the width you want the tray, the length, how much ...

hey, yea i payed $1500, i bought the kit off ebay from Hobzees 4WD shop in mornington
