Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Had a tallish friend take one for a test drive at a Dealership where they sell another brand. The salesman told him "you're too tall, you won't be buying one of these" and sure enough, after the test drive he was incredibly disappointed, as he'd had his heart set on one, but said to me afterwards ...

I carry an Ark Powerpack with an Optima Yellow Top battery inside.
I keep it charged through either the built in charger in the lid using 240v at home, or run my solar panel into it when I'm camping.
The Optima can be used as either a starting battery, or can be used as a deep cycle.
I have wired ...

I'm undergoing the exact same questioning.
I'm weighing up between stihl and husqvarna.
At the moment I'm inclined to say,
"Nah, I don't want no other stinking chainsaw" (still remember those ads).

I was reading on a chainsaw thread recently in one of the 4wding forums, a whole thread on chainsaws ...

I have an MN Triton, and my Mate has an RA Rodeo.
His goes everywhere we want to get to. His has a minor lift and some barwork, and it aint no monster truck, but pretty sure it would do most things anyone would want to do with a 4by.
Add some good rubber and ideally eventually some lockers, and they ...

I bought the manual transmission, so it's quick enough off the lights for me, and hit 2nd and she really scoots. Makes my Patrol looks really sluggish.
I have purchased a chip for it as well, but won't consider putting it in until well down the track, or at least until after the 1500km service, and ...

I upgraded to LED's and used an Orange LED behind an orange lense as the indicator, and it is a much deeper orange colour, but also a lot dimmer because of it. If I was doing it again I'd go with a white LED globe instead.
But it is certainly still visible and useable.

Barely owned it 24 hours and already found a problem -
The interior light has the usual "off" - "auto" - "on" settings.
In the "auto" it is SUPPOSED to slowly fade to off after you shut the doors. Mine doesn't. It stays on ! !
If I hadn't noticed, I'd have flattened the battery the first night ...

Took delivery today of my 2010 MN GLX-R Triton 4x4 Dual Cab.
MMCS and High-Line canopy.

And I am over the moon. I think I'm going to lose my licence though. This thing is so effortless that you look down and find yourself doing 100km/h all the time, and that's even in the 60 zones. I'm really going ...

So you'll have it looking like this eventually:

I pick mine up on Tuesday.
I went with the GLX-R and went with the manual because the difference in price was enough to get the canopy.
I am more than likely going to go with either Ironman or Ultimate suspension. I have quotes on both, and have asked around the forums about the Ironman and seen ...

Does anyone know what the penalty is - or where to find the penalty - for disconnecting or blocking an EGR?
Some diesel vehicles are notorious for carbon build up due to our crap diesel, and the EGR system, and people are taking to blocking them off.

I'm not about to do so as I have a 5 year ...

I was under the impression that NO lockers was the most likely to break something because one wheel in the air gets all the power, and spins like buggery, then when it makes contact with the ground again, it stops in an instant, and breaks things.

Would think either locker would be better than none.

I tried a search, but there is so much spotlight discussion over the years, I wasn't able to weed out if anyone has answered whether there is a preferred side for the spot beam. I am assuming the spread beam it isn't so relevant, but I'm guessing that the side you mount your spot beam could make a ...

I have a Garmin Oregon 300.
Way more than you want, but I swear by it. It's a fantastic unit that does nearly everything I could want. And battery life is spectacular.
It won't track your dog, but I guess if you tied it to him you could check where he has been.

I have a mate making up an A frame that he was going to use to tow his Zook. Just a metal frame from towball to the two recovery points on the front of the vehicle.
Not sure on legality of it all, but it seemed like a good idea.

One of the guys on another forum used "Hardliner" off ebay.
Has a build up thread running somewhere of how it looked when finished.

I wouldn't relish the thought of hanging upside down trapped in a rolled vehicle while battery acid dripped slowly over me. So the only way I'd have one under a seat or the like would be an Optima or other Gel type.
But a normal battery in some kind of battery box, secured solidly to the vehicle ...

I sent mine from Canberra to Sydney for an engine rebuild and it cost me only about $200. So don't be too put off by ones that aren't near you. If you find that unbeatable bargain 4.2 diesel, then you really don't want to let it go by all for the sake of a phone call to a transport company. And you ...

A recent mag review claimed a battery life of under a couple of hours, in fact only a little over one hour from memory, for the Hema, so not sure I'd go that route, but it does apparently have OziExplorer so that would a plus because when Ozi is setup well, it's quite a good option. But for road nav ...

But can I put two sets of panels, with their own individual controllers, onto the same battery ?
Basically like asking if I can hook two battery chargers up to the same battery I guess.

I have an "Eva Kool" 100w folding panel that feeds my Optima Yellow Top (55a/h) in my Ark Powerpack.
I am going to wire an Anderson plug running directly inside the Powerpack to the battery, and feed the solar panel into that.
However, it now appears that I may be buying a much bigger fridge than ...

I know that thread initially casts doubt on the site, but read on. It just appears to have launched a tad early. They have since been able to be contacted by phone, confirmed the brands are reasonable, and appear to be quite legit.

I've already pulled the carpet out of my troll ready to hit it with "Hardliner" which is way cheaper than getting it Rhino Coated.
Just have to get around to ordering it and doing it.
Been without carpet now for over a year so I guess I should stop procrastinating and get it done.

The diesel ones are serviceable, the petty ones aren't (unless you drill holes to empty and refill them etc). And after the overheating issues my diesel had with the wrong hub, I sure wouldn't be putting anything but a genuine Nissan diesel one onto a Nissan Diesel.

Love the KM2's I bought with Kevin Rudd's donation.
Being quite a new tyre, they appeared to wear very badly at first as they shrank and compressed down with use, but are lasting very well now considering that the amount I use them on road I really ought to be running two sets of tyres/wheels.

Can't view that unless a forum member.

The phone number appearing under "Contact us" is a good sign.
It wasn't there when I first found the website.
Looks like the may have gone live just a little too soon, but glad to see they are looking more and more genuine, because at 200w's and more, solar starts becoming pretty feasible for ...

These seem to be legit, but the prices seem suspicously low.
120w kits for $499
150w kits for $620
200w kits for $760

Have prices really come down that much in just a matter of months, or am I missing something here? Because I paid more than that just for a 100w ...
