Friday afternoon beach drives…

Gday all, I am wondering if there is any interest in the factory cloth / vinyl rear seat cover - in brown? I was about to chuck it in the trailer and take it to the tip, but thought I would check here first.. I am in Aus, so would have to factor in shipping.. It is dirty, but I think it will...

I love mine - 1988 hj61 with the full door card that doesn’t have the metal exposed up the top (would much prefer the metal-exposed type of door card..). Was an easy install with very basic mods, but on long drives is 1000% worth it for the arm/ elbow comfort! Ordered mine from one stone and got...

Thanks! Yep - I decided to cut the bottom of the grill off as it was getting pretty thin. The lower corners of the grill are attached to the end tanks of the Intercooler with sticky-backed Velcro.. it works well! I had already cut the valence below the cooler to fit a home-made Intercooler -...

Here is what mine looks like with the PDI front mount….

Gday everyone! Yesterday I had a ‘proud Dad’ moment when I dropped my Daughter and her date off at the ‘walk-in’ for her final school year ball. They had the choice of a Kombi, old VW Beetle, Dodge Ram, new Mustang, convertible Mercedes, old Monaro etc, but they asked if they could be dropped...

Yes it is

Did a 1500km overnight drive, launched my boat across the beach, took some photos of the last sunset of 2023, carried surfboards etc… didn’t even add any oil!

Would be worth trying Engines Australia

My factory gauge - at just above half way is 102 degrees celcius ( confirmed by a Redarc gauge and probe in the top of the thermostat housing). I am happy to travel all day sitting on 100km/hr at this temp - and have done so in high 45+ degree celcius ambient temperatures both towing and not...

Up the boost to 11psi and add a bit of fuel… drive it like that for a bit and then order a GTurbo / PDI Intercooler / 3” exhaust - and 33” tyres for lower cruising revs… Get ready for addiction to spending money!!

Thankyou IH8mud! You are my go-to for advice, before calling Roadside Assistance! With the worry of an un-locking 4WD system out of the way, we spent today on some very soft tracks! 12psi and 3rd Low was how the day was spent! Some may have seen Ronny Dahl on YouTube - this was Yaegerup Dunes in...

All sorted - tried reverse, but no good, checked the vacuum at both solenoids and they were doing what they should… I started having a look around and found a rubber vac hose had come off near the transfer case! All good now!

Hi all, I am currentlY camping a few hundred k’s from home and today went on a 4x4 track… I pressed the 4x4 button to engage 4x4. It took a minute or so, but the 4WD light on the dash came on and all was good - until we completed the track and got back to the bitumen… a few hundred metres from...

The Kilkenny Castings replacement that I had fitted is for a ‘late’ 2H. The bolt pattern is the same, but it requires drilling and tapping the 2x holes as already mentioned… with some other work that I had done, it cost me $4000 (AUD)! This is obviously ridiculous, but time is money, and this...
