I would agree with HSV on that , i sent an email to them about heavy duty radiator and thermo fans but after 3 weeks still no reply so i deleted the email addy that was written up as a contact on the forum before as to "Q" suspensipon arms .
Im looking at traveling in November from Perth out to Kalgoolie then onto Warburton and then up to Ayres Rock Alice Tennant Creek Katherine and finally Darwin comming home via the Gun Barrel and need a huge heavy duty radiator , as my 4 core will be struggling with the heat weight and desert sands ! There are a few other items im chasing but still no reply from them :cry:
I have contacted Jullian at Discovery Automotives and he has soured me a 120 lt fuel tank at $475 brand new and seems very happy to help out !

peace out tha drippa

I bought one of those long range tanks but took it back a couple of weeks later, our type of four wheel driving reshaped the bottom, it hangs down lower than the original and is a rock target. If I remember correctly there was also another problem which was the fuel was not being picked up when on steep slopes, possibly the consequence of a poorly desdigned (can't remember the name) fuel pickup chamber and I feel that it caused us to burn out 2 fuel pumps.
This was however a number of years ago and the design may have changed by now.
For what it's worth that was my experience.

We have a 210litre tank that sits in place of our rear seat, only takes 15 mins to install and used it on The Canning and Gibb River roads. Much better than tanks slung underneath.
