Where abouts are you?

I'm looking to fasion some mudflaps from some fairly stiff rubber and I was told that conveyor belt rubber is the best thing to go for. Can anyone tell me where is best to get it in the brisbane area?

Tool was $540

I was thinking about routing the cable and cutting to the appropriate lengths as you suggested but I don't know many sparky's who will be open on Sunday or Monday.

A mate said he used to use teh same sort of tool when he worked for Telstra but he didn't get to keep one when he ...

I am looking to do some re-wiring over the weekend and have the cable and stuff ready to go but I had to change my pants after I found out the price for a crimp tool to do the lugs.

Does anybody know where you ca hire a crimp tool (manual, ratchet or hydraulic) for crimping lugs on 50mm2 cable ...

The Patrol Club have put a team in as well but now have 2 spare places if there is anyone else looking for a team.

Would preferably have well set up vehicle, good driving skills, excellent mechanical knowledge, first aid trained, good with maps/navigation, and willing to bring along their swedish ...

Well CP5 didn't see too much action. After a couple of hours the first car, Shane, came through and drove the CP without a drama then it was another 90 minutes before the next batch hit. Rod drove it OK but a V8 Hilux with some front guard and rear axle damage from an earlier CP turned up, the axle ...

Like the topic title says, can you paint coil springs?

I have different coloured springs front and rear and was just wondering whether I could paint them to be the same and expect the paint to stay on when the springs compress and extend, or will it just crack and fall off?

Pic of wagon

Even your experimental photo-shop piccies would be good - I can't do them.

I'm converting my GQ wagon into an extra cab ute and looking for photos of wagons that have already been done so that I can get a sense of what looks good, how big to make it, etc. I've found a few on the net but they are usually on cars which have the chassis extended which doesn't give the right ...

I think that unless you are seriously considering this as a commercial venture then it is not worth pursuing as the work involved to establish and maintain a property for 4x4 access (if done through the proper channels) is quite daunting. I looked in to it for my club and once the authorities become ...

What if they don't,we have spent a heap of money,time and effort to build these rigs,for what,to look good parked in our yards never to be driven for what they are intended for.Sorry but i don't think so....

No, you would've spent $20 supporting an orgnisation that is trying to promote and ...

brightness adjusted to show tree

I'm kicking myself a bit about not finishing but when we thought we'd blown a CV we figured we would struggle to beat Rod, Jimmyb & the Rangie crew especially as we skipped half of CP1 'cos we thought the wagon would struggle to fit past the rock wall. We didn't have a spare long CV so didn't want ...

Yeah, thanks guys we had a good night while we were there.

Thought I was gonna make it up Ruff's checkpoint for a second there, but couldn't quite do it. We called it a night after that checkpoint as we thought a CV/hub might've gone but seems to be OK. Got a bit of minor rear quarter panel ...

A mate of mine actually just took this exact ruling to Court and he won.

What, that you can go 2" wider and 2" taller with tyres?

Cool if true. Can you tell us more?

Jason

No he has a GQ Ute that is running 33/12.5s and a whole load of other mods. Most other mods he had had to be changed ...

I was at Levuka about 18 months back - nice place, not terribly big, we did most of the easy-medium tracks in afternoon/morning. Best part for me was the laid-on firewood, delivered to our campsite!

Is very different when wet

NJ SWB wrote:You are allowed to go smaller by 26mm - larger you are only permitted 15mm. I rang the vehicle modifications ...

I stand corrected, I thought it used to be increase or decrease by 26mm.

Big boys property was bought back by the original owner and is no longer open as a 4WD park. Emu Creek has been bought by a guy from NSW who lets bikes run on it and I believe some 4WD's have been getting around there as well but not 100% on that.

Other parks around SE Qld Northern NSW:

Levuka ...

If they stick out then they are illegal. In Qld you can increase diameter by 26mm over the largest size specified by the manufacturer for that vehicle, and increase width by 50% for beam axled 4WD's. So for Patrol's where 32" tyres on split rims were available, 33" tyres should not be illegal.

Marshy you can pre book a spot for the ASCC team for this years event.

Vehicles will be

V8 GRUNT. - TEAM TMAX
V8 DIESEL - TEAM KOWARI
ROLY - TEAM MUDZILLA
STAIB RACING -
BIG RED RACING

Hows that get in early.

Surely anything more than axle height is raising the COG?

Only if CoG is at axle height. Any additional weight above CoG will raise CoG, Any additional weight below CoG will lower CoG.

In simple terms, as soon as the CoG passes directly above the lowest point in ...

Creative conversions will extend ute's to extra cabs.

Note that their bare bones DIY extra cab at $4500 does not include priming, painting, glass, interior fit or tray and requires you to strip the entire wagon down from the back end to the front seats (remove glass, lights, trim, electrics ...

I need to install an externally operated kill switch which will isolate the batteries on my Patrol, and I would like it to cut the diesel engine as well. I would like to install only 1 switch, the batteries are connected under the bonnet by a dual battery management system which I would like to ...
