Gday I put a set of them on the wife's cruiser when we had. Ridiculous amount of light. The only draw back I found was the large puddle of light reflecting back from the road directly in front of the car. Other than that we were very happy with them too. As a side note to truck driving...

Mate if flat equals curving upside down then in that instance they were flat. Yeah I agree with vigilante about the rear height. They settle a little which is why they recommend remeasuring after 500kms but all up that was what the rears gave me too. I have radflo and eibachs in the front and...

Zgday Interesting timing bringing this up actually. My ome rear end medium rated springs were picked up as inverted by my mechanic a couple of weeks ago. I went straight to the shop I bought them and they argued that's how they sit. I said no they don't as I installed them and hadn't really...

Hi mate I have an opposite lock bar. Without the plate underneath it slipped in nicely. Just a note have a mate help because the bolt holes r a bit fiddly to line up

Gday mate We just went through this with the Mrs cruiser and a gauge she needed. According to our mechanic they are no longer legal. I hadn't heard that before but he ended up installing it low down near the bottom of the windscreen.

Gday all Had a set of au fans on my kings wood I did up when I was a young fella. They had to be sealed well to the radiator to make all the draw come through the fins. That was done with industrial grade foam. They were switched automatically via a Davies Craig in hose thermo switch. From...

Gday My car seems stuck at 14l/100kms. Has never really moved much from that except when 4wding. If ur averaging 9 that's pretty awesome

Gday mate Had adjustable td on my patrol and have efs with ironman bar on Mrs 100 series. Also have fitted ol bullbar to my nav. The adjustable shocks were ok, I had the in cab adjuster for them so I didn't have to get in the crud to adjust them. So I adjusted them often. They don't make the...

I've used mine mostly around the house. Raising the front section when it had sunk into the ground a bit. Lifting the car to put axle stands underneath. Pulling my retaining wall upright after removing backfill. Handy bloody thing to have around. Although I have the jack points on the bar and...

Yeah those Scotch locks suck. Have noticed previous owner of mine used them for a lot of things. Another problem is that the factory wiring is so thin the scotch lock doesn't actually get the connection properly so it can be intermittent. Have been slowly but surely replacing scotch locks with...

Yeah mate. The idea of the skinnys is to not overly affect the boogie ability but gain the advantage in height for the car.

Gday all In my search to find skinny 33's, i found that the truck tyre size 8.25r16 is equivalent to 255/85/16 which is what im putting on next. the truck tyres are about 10-14ply and i can get them in assorted tread from road-a/t-mud. they r even priced cheaper than the 4wd tyres. my...

Hi lads Sam, when u were looking at doing the hitch receiver, was there anything stopping u from putting it up in the middle of the bar in line with the rearpart of the chassis? Or does it have to drop down like all the manufacturers seem to do?

Is it possible, and legal, to get some bracing bars put in the chassis then. Or would that cause other problems

Ok. Finally uploaded a photo of it to my garage. The other side of the cab has an identical mark.
