My paint work is deteriorating pretty heavily, gone all powdery, and a tough life has left it with plenty of deep scratches. Can anyone recommend a good place in Perth, prefer NoR, to have the paint assessed and provide recommendations on what action to take?

Looking to have a reese hitch installed and have done the ring around. The cheapest I have found is $575 (in Perth). Has anyone found anything cheaper? When I looked at the Reese website the retail was $525 so I assume that this is a reasonable price.

Thanks for the great feedback guys, fingers crossed she starts when I get back to Perth tonight! I am considering a dual battery setup, not too keen on just the isolator, knowing myself I'll forget to use it :)

Yep, I own a .22, .22WMR and a 410G shotgun. Dont hunt too much as it's a 3.5 hour drive to visit the old girl on the farm. Got a weimaraner for hunting and looking to get a pointer in a fortnight. Hunt mainly rabbits, foxes and cats. I also hunt fish using a cunningly hidden hook inside a...

Time for a new battery (she's starting to struggle) and was wondering if any guru's out there know of a battery to suit my needs. I work FIFO and leave the Nav at the airport for 9 days at a time, I want a battery that'll tolerate that sort of punishment. I've heard of gel batteries, combine...

I've had a DIG options unit installed for about a year now. Everything on it works, need to realise though that for $500 there will be some limitations. Limitations for my unit are: - the radio cuts out whenever I change to navigation and also when touching ANY buttons in the navigation. -...

Hi, I'm about to head out and reduce the rabbit population (:rambo:) and am going to pull the canopy off and throw the sports bar back on for some night time action. Problem is I've lost the bolts, can anyone tell me what they are so I can get some more?

Thanks for the feedback guys, skill set is low but motivaiton is high. Also have skilled family members to call on. Lets see how we go!

I've been lucky enough to inherit an X9 from one of my work vehicles, it's never been used, is only 12 or so months old, has been swimming, but doesnt work. Any ideas on where I should start looking for problems? More importantly, has anyone installed one and have any tips?!?

Had mine serviced today and asked about the silver panels flaking. The official response was that it is general wear and tear and not covered by warranty. I could have the panels replaced but they come as a unit with the cruise control switches - $280!!! The latch on my centre console broke...

nice! go for some 265/75's, they fill in the gap nicely. really like the bar, be a shame when you get it all scratched up off road!

Sure do, we had three of the buggers on there! We were using an air ratchet too, much faster but still took a long time to compress them!! Reason for three was that two was a little unstable, one of them started to slip off.

265/75 D694's look pretty good, dont know the legalities of them here in WA, we even run them on the prado's on site (Pilbara).
