‘Bull bar’, or sometimes ‘roo bar’, is what most people call them in Australia. Very standard here. You rarely see front bars that don’t surround the headlights

The bonnet scoop + factory winch bumper combo looks so odd

Unfortunately a huge part of the entire economy is now reliant on endless expansion of data centres, so that seems pretty unlikely To avoid dragging this too much into politics, I’ll make a personal observation: I bought a 60 because I was increasingly exhausted with the pace and direction...

Recently, any time I open the FSM up in Acrobat, I get a pop-up saying “this is a long document! Would you like an AI summary?” No. No, I would not

What a beauty. I love those decals with that paint colour. What visor do you have on there?

Thanks! The handle is completely jammed up - if I open it, it stays ‘open’. Tried spraying some silicone lube in there, but I didn’t really help so I’ve gotta get it apart and clean it properly. Definitely wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing given how brittle 40 year old plastics can be…

How do you remove the rhs barn door lock and handle? The screws are obvious, but I can’t work out how to get the handle and the lock mechanism separated, especially given the coating of grime and the confined space

Installed @TRAIL TAILOR extended HD front sway bar links, which I bought from @AussieHJCruza at Complete Cruisers. PO had seemingly just put the original links back on after the suspension lift and because they were too short, they’d been totally mangled. I’d replaced the bushings immediately...

Parking brake is usually far better on cars with rear drum brakes than rear disk brakes because it’s engaging the main braking system as opposed to a supplemental system just for the park brake

Okay, any tips for actually getting to that union bolt on the fuel primer? Can’t get a socket onto it because of the injection pump, super hard to even get a spanner on it with room to move with the fuel inlet and return lines in the way

Is that upgrade as simple as screwing the old primer off and putting the Bosch one on? Nothing else you need to replace? Perhaps more importantly, is at preventative maintenance upgrade, or one you do when your OEM primer fails?

Changing my fuel filter for the first time, and also gonna do the mesh filter on the priming pump while I’m at it. I have what may be a stupid question: do I need to clamp the fuel hoses before I do this? I don’t really want to undo a bolt only to have diesel pour out everywhere

Just ordered some sway bar links from you guys because of this post, so you got yourself some instant good karma for helping another Mudder out 🫡

Steering wheel controls make driving safer because you don’t need to take your hands off the wheel or eyes off the road. Sadly I can’t do much about the ADHD, but I’ll make sure I continue to not live anywhere that has “LA style traffic”

I went to the rear (cab side) of the rib, at a bit of an angle so the tap was more perpendicular to the surface of the manifold. Not sure if this is better or worse than going parallel to the rib, but the tip of the probe is positioned roughly in the middle of the exhaust stream. I did it while...
