Matt N - jeez that name is Rod Kilby is familiar, trying to think where from
He would be about 5-6 hours drive from me, which I'm more than happy to do if he's good, would you recommend enough to make the trip down??

Haven't been living in the Canberra region for the last 3 years, but I think he'd still be around. Give him a call to confirm.
His name is Rod Kilby and works out of a farm shed just over the ACT NSW border near ...

I have a '96 300Tdi 130 and bought it for just this job. It's not the ideal tow rig for that amount of weight. I'm towing about 2800kg.

Yep, for towing 3000kg it will be SLOW. Especially when you come to hills. (Even without a trailer the Landy is quite slow around town.) When towing and taking off ...

Used a pull-pal in 2 Outback Challenges. Worked very well in sand and OK in mud for the weight of Hilux and Jeep Wrangler.

The rules say nothing about the part being in use. I would fight it.

Although it sounds like Normy's Tail shaft was not a Spare Part it was removed from his vehicle. This is what the organisers will argue.

If the Passage Controller told them there was no penalty for using the shaft from Norms ...

So what do the rules say!!! I thought you could be given a part from someone else in your group and not get a penalty against you. But if the rules state that then who else will be up for penalty's.

As far as I know you are allowed to resource parts within your group but organisers have ...

Is "Italian BBS" a euphemism for "Balinese BBS?"

Sorry dont know, just quoting what the guy on the Landroversonly forum said.

The photo of the series car you have posted is very likely not a camel trophy vehicle, camel trophy only used series III 109" cars as support vehicles for one year - 1983 - in Zaire.

You can see the bull bar and roof rack are incorrect so ...

Are you asking what Rovers your Suzuki rims will fit onto?

The Suzuki rims that I've had experience with, including early steel Vitara rims all had a 5 on 5.5inch bolt pattern. These will not fit onto my Defender as the Defender has a much larger bolt circle. I don't know what the Defender pattern ...

Check out the RaceTech 350 range plenty of choices.
Was years ago that my ROPs was built but think my fab guy used a combination of the 44.45 and 38.1mm CDW with 2.6mm wall.

SWB Jeeps are popular for having sill protection bolted to the bodywork. It's not dodgy at all, it's strong when designed well and doesn't impeded ground clearance. Warn, ARB plus a whole lot of other US suppliers make this type of sill protection commercially.

Lots of sliders here, mostly welded ...

Hey mate no expert on this but I cut the cable at the oppisite end to the hook with a angle grinder and then crimped a new terminall on the end. As the terminal dosen't hold any load.

Done! How many metres did you take off?

When unscrewing the terminal try to hold the cable against the side of ...

So, to jump start one of these Patrols you'd have to use another 24v car or truck? or?

On that rolling chassis, what are the horizontal forward-facing hoops on the shock towers for?

dynamic rope stretches, so i dont imagine it would be very good being spooled onto a winch under strain... and would prehaps negate the fact that rope is meant to minimise the chance of shackles becoming projectiles....




unless they have stoped making it stretch since i last climbed :D

Not ...

"GCM (gross combination mass)"of a vehicle means the greatest possible sum of the maximum loaded mass of the vehicle and of any vehicles that may be towed by it at the one time:
(a) as specified by the vehicle’s manufacturer on an identification plate on the vehicle, or
(b) as specified by the ...

as for attention... nothing grabs attention like that ABT buggy so far. again, this is just conjecture on my part

To you and to me I Agrea because we both know what has gone into it and we enjoy the sport but to the average Spectator the only reason it attracts Attention is because its shiney and ...

Is your switch the same or similar to the Defender switch?

I had the same symptoms. Parkers switched on, flick the switch to the headlights; parkers turned off and headlights did not come on.

I have had this happen to my TD5 Defender a few years ago. This is a design problem within the switch where the current for the lights passes from the incoming joint thru a juntion and on to another part of the switch. The simlpe fix is to solder a loop around this junction and problem is solved ...

The only vehicle with 1500kg payload and 4000kg tow capacity... Defender 130" dual cab. A real chassis and a real diesel engine. Td5 with 176kw and 510 Nm chip and intercooler. Eats most others on hills, tow anything and use less fuel. Constant 4X4 with traction control, big 4 wheel discs and coils ...

Having attended 5 easter Jamborees I say any member of any affiliated club should have the right of attending no matter what size shoe they wear.

Chris you say: However, please understand that the Suzuki 4WD Clubs vision for the 2005 Jamboree is to bring the event "back to basics" and align it ...

No worries, if I'm up in Brisbane in the next few months I'll let you know.

Where do you live?
If you are in Sydney I could bring mine up one weekend and show you how to use it, or do them for you -- no charge just supply pizza and a couple of beers and we'll have them done in an afternoon.
