As title suggests - Wed 4th Jan Meet at Matilda on Steve Irwin way at 9am and we will hit the tracks from there. BYO drinks and lunch because there is obviously nothing after the servo. BYO snatch strap if at all possible. Most of the tracks should be easy to medium, though we came across...

What a great day out! More pics to come after I clean up but here are a couple of teasers. Mitch put that brand new D40 in places Nissan never dreamed of!

I went for a quick run up the beach today just to see how much the big tides have affected the beach. I got there about 3 hours after the high and the water had been right up to the dunes so driving was really easy, all hard packed sand. There were a few cars there but not as busy as I thought...

It's nearly that time of year again, what's on your wish list? So far I have dropped hints for a fridge slide and tackleworld vouchers.

Seeing as how Dave gets stuck doing all the polls, I thought its only fair I do one. Sooo...... This weeks poll is: Should Dave do a poll this week? I know I know, you don't all have to thank me, I am just here to get the important questions answered. :thank_you2:

I used Rustfree Strathpine for the third time today, I got them to rustproof my new Patrol, and received great service again. Phil goes out of his way to make sure his customers are happy and does a great job. Even got a free beer on pickup lol. He also does thorough beach cleans too for when...

Hi all, Tyre question number 46536. :sarcastic: Who is running muds (or any other type for that matter) and would you replace them with same when it comes time? Are you sick of the noise? dont use them offroad enough to justify? Happy with them purely because they look great? run them because...

Hi all, I would like to know your opinion on what would be the lesser of 2 evils when towing. My D40 tows my boat beautifully around town and on the highway, although the lack of power when the turbo isn't spooling is causing some grief. At the boat ramp I have to sink the trailer a fair bit...

I was speaking to a dealer yesterday and he reckoned that whatever stock of new nissans are in Australia right now are all they have. He said that because of the trouble in Japan, production of new cars has stopped (even if the cars arent made there, a lot of parts are he says). He reckoned...

I just ordered some Gall boys DVD's, I saw a few clips and thought they looked alright. Any of you guys got them? Did I make a good purchase or waste my money on more 60 minute shows with 55 minutes of ads like the magazine DVD's that we all know of?

We are seriously thinking of trading up to a new one in the next couple of days, have been tossing up whether to trade my Nav for a patrol or the missus's 07 Rav4 for the kluger. We need to do one or the other because we need a better 7 seat car, we have an aftermarket fold up seat in the back...

I know a lot of you guys are religious about changing your oil at 5000km intervals, and I have with mine so far aswell, but I am continually wondering if it is really necessary? Our sevice book only has 10,000km set services with an optional intermediate one. To my thinking they should either...

Hi All, Not a Navara question but please help if you can. A good friend of mine is halfway somewhere between Brisbane and Perth in her approx 05 Rodeo diesel towing a caravan (medium size, not huge). She just just had to stop for the third time because it is overheating, and is obviously...

Has anyone else been snapping up any bargains while the US dollar is so good? (or crap depending on which country you live in lol) I have had my eye on a good fishing reel for when my boat finally hits the water, and couldnt resist a bargain, I got a new Shimano stradic for $160 landed, they...

Hi all, A guy who has been fitting speakers into the coffee vans I have been fitting out at work has proposed to upgrade the stereo and speakers in my D40 in exchange for some stuff he needs made for his workshop. I don't want to do anything crazy like subs and crap that take up valuable...

It looks like the new edition of the Dirty weekends in South East Queensland book is out now guys. I heard that it is available in 4wd shops but haven't confirmed it, and it is available on the site Dirty Weekends Can't wait to get it!

A couple of us went for a run through glasshouse today. Myself, Jason, Raywise and Scottybobcat. We found mud pretty much straight away. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Scotty had some fun with that roaring V8 through the mudpits. Pics are on his and Ray's camera's I think. We found some good...

I am currently fitting out a coffee van at work, starting with a brand spanking new Hyundai iLoad, and one of the tasks is to make a custom fridge. It will be 150L, all stainless with double glazed glass doors, will use 2 seprate engel motors and 2 evap plates. and will run off a 5kva generator...

I really don't like to spread rumours, but a mate of mine is adamant that this is true, and he seems a pretty good source. Landcruiser park has been for sale for a while for $10,500,000. He is telling me that it has been sold to the army, who apparantly currently hire the park out mid week...
