Held on a new property with new gullys and terrain at Wallabadah. 55k south of Tamworth, NSW. 100k north of Muswellbrook.
Its the 15th anniversary, and round 2 is gonna be on our property. I'm excited !

Five minute drive to the Wallabadah pub.

Two mates have bought the business from John Davis, and are now starting to prepare to make new molds and sell them as do-it-yourself kits to begin with.

But I dont have any adapters. Have sold out.
Grab a 120 watt H3 HID kit. Drill out the adapters with a 19mm drill bit and silicon the bulbs in. Job done.

> Just seen on FB, NSW Plod have set up a RWC checking station near the entrance to TT.

The first year ever that I don't show up and I've saved myself from receiving a yellow or red sticker on the windscreen.
Gotta be happy with that.

Useless info:

The early version of the Maxi-drive uses a 28 spline axle. Early Sube's (second generation with the EA81 engine, such as wagons and all Brumby's) CV's and axles also run the exact same diameter axle with a 28 spline count. They fit into each other. Bizarre...

Thanks for the offer; but keep it. No doubt you'll find someone else, or even yourself, wanting one sometime down the track. The split poly's were for a pre-85, and, guess what. They were for a 14mm bolt! Another wasted $40. Finally got on to http://www.landrovers.com.au" onclick="window.open(this ...

I turned down being navi for The Proclaimer.
Am I stupid...?

New driver this year for the rig, Rob Anderson. He is rather sensible at driving...

Ta Grimace. Quote from B.O.R. for 2x bushes, 2x new nuts and bolts, was $80 delivered. I went 'freakin ouch'. Ain't spending that much. Finally found another mob $30 delivered for split blue poly rubbish that will stuff up before the genuine rubber. Power steering leaks like a sieve, so it may ...

Awesome !!

Thanks fella's. Muchly appreciated.
Am on to it.

All, First post in well over a year on Outers... Did a few searches on here, and nothing came back with what I was after. Have on and off over two days done rather a lot of googling and came back with not much. Issue: Rubber bushes in the panhard of my old girl use a 12mm bolt. After extensive ...

Proclaimer on the marbles.

Why not do something different, put all three batteries in series to get 36 volts. Then grab a 24 volt winch motor, and run 36 volts through it? Be similiar to putting 24 volts through a 12 volt motor. The only drama then is to get a 24 or a 48 volt alternator re-wired for 36 volts to charge your ...

Two months later.... Wow. Didn't I cause some hatred and a lot of words up above. So - I haven't done a thing with this Thomas since. Now that round 2 is happening in Manilla in a few months time, I'm trying to get keen. I grabbed a high mount and doing a standard normal thing that everyone else ...

Do your own research on efficiencies, but I didn't post 30% loss - it was 30% efficiency, or 70% loss.

My typo. I knew what I meant to say.

Didn't think of the worm drive, I think they are brass? Probably wouldn't handle the speed of the motors at 24v. The worm drive also acts as the brake, so there must be a way to disconnect the drum Thanks for all of the comments so far. Had no idea at what ratios peeps were running. Bit of a ...

Was given an old 8000 pound Thomas winch few years back. These were the Aussie made equivalent to the Warn High mount back in the hey-day. Early 1980's era if I am correct. Well and truly before the now common low mount winch with their planetary gears. Made in Brisbane, they were big, heavy, slow ...

Easy fixed, and has been covered before in another thread by me years ago, with photos. Basically grab cable shielding stuff from Jaycar or any of the big electronic mobs. Covered the high tension leads individually and earth the sheild. The high tension leads from the ballast to the bulbs are ...

pretty simple.

/dig mode on/
...isn't that because Lightforce don't break, Hella does, and is why they need so many stockist around the country to supply spare parts.
/dig mode off/

I laugh. Ever stop to think and wonder why Hella *need* stockists Australia wide ...and Lightforce don't?
Kinda funny the way it was said above.

They should. If they were 170's I'd be able to say a definate yes. There is of course a smaller amount of reflector with the 140's, so maybe the amount of light penetrating outwards will indeed be less, but they should still give out an incredible amount of light in a spot. If you are after a H3 ...

Dunno off the top of my head why it is doing it, but you can buy replacement LED indicator relays from China for about $1.99 delivered on ebay, which will put the flash rate back to the normal factory flash rate. Did you know that there is even an Australian Design Rule regarding the flash rate...?

> My car handles, steers and stops extremely well.

So you've still got it then?

Run the air inlet of the compressor into the top oil vent in the engine tappet cover.
Oil mist going into the compressor keeps everything happy. Job done, never worry about it again.

Other than drips of oil in ya tyres...

...which then also keeps rust at bay.

Saw an ad only this morning in 'Diesel' truck magazine for a new generation brushless 12 volt Borsch style alternator which pump out 80 amps at an idle speed of 750 to 800 rpm.

From original question: Bought two HDK's as spares ages ago (About $150 each). Broke a genuine factory last Thursday whilst going up Mt Pinnabar/Vic. (Ute has 300,000 on it). Changed it on the side of the track. Chinese $50 CV in the other side is going clunk clunk. Cant get any more than 8 months ...

Welp, I thought I had some decent pics of Ruff's old rig. Is still in a work of progress; he cut the entire rear off after he had it at Woodpecker/Toperi two or three years ago. Is on 39" or 42" Irocks. I forget. http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll196/bushy555/outer/ande01.jpg http://i288 ...

doesn't andrew e have it still, painted it a awful blue chopped it up a bit and was going to put 404's under it a couple of years ago. Yes and the car has never been the same again. Went from looking like one of the coolest Defenders in Aus to the Ugliest very fast. Have a few pics of it; will post ...
