    Builds The "Red Rocket" Troopy

    Kubota came in two oranges, an early and late I believe. The earlier being more red than the later bang orange. I have noted that the U.S. market did not seem to get the toyota /kubota bang orange that oz got much. May be worth checking the early kubota paint, it may just match exactly what...

    Perhaps, but I get dismayed seeing the amount of clear gloss peeling on cars around 20 years old or sooner. The one I use is enamel, so hypothetically single stage, so off you go, other things to do. Initially quite glossy from the can or even a brush. I prefer the easy forgiving paints as I...

    Awesome work! My only bitch about rustoleum red or orange is that it is not uv stable. It fades and goes chalky. Very noticeable at night by torchlight after 6 months or so. Places where the sun does not shine it is fine. Goes on easy though, very forgiving. But fairly cheap and cheerful, I...

    Builds My First Land Cruiser - Cdn 🍁 BJ60 "Wabi Sabi"

    Bit of a hijack, but interesting the contrast to nature on the other side of the world. Blinkered shots, cutting out plantations. Koala does not know where to go, our bears are not dangerous, just the snakes...you guys have 'if it's brown lay down, if black fight back'. Snakes here, I say...

    What an awesome adventure! I would actually estimate the value of the memories of where you went and what you saw as equal to the cost of your engine. The body and chassis is actually more valuable. Engines can be repaired or replaced. An old farmer I met was praising how his 2h could still...

    Replacement EDIC sale

    I know him, he is a fair, honest and straight up good guy. I met Brayden whilst selling some 2h stuff , he was studying electrical engineering at uni and I suggested for him to build the edics. He excelled, made them better. Highly recommend him over a big multi corporation. Give the...

    Something would be seriously wrong with you if you preferred to grind rust then spend time swimming with those eyes and smile! 😁

    Does $2k to replace an ignition cylinder and housing seem ridiculous?

    cheaper, not necessarily easier if first time. Much money goes to labour costs. tools, awkward yoga positions and swearing has a price.
