Thats right blueshine, the more initiatives the better.
Just posting an update on stock for those interested. Snatch Clothing has more stock and Drifta have one of the variants available now. Same links as in the first post.

Thanks Linc. Yes they have had a run on them but are replenishing, so would pay to come back and check again sometime. I'll keep an eye out too.

Hi Guys there is a really great program created by Luke at Drifta called Respect the Bush. You can get your hands on 2 complimentary rubbish bags (plus freight) and then inspire others to help clean up our precious favourite locations. More details over at the following: https://www.drifta.com.au/pr...

Thanks Trublu and thanks to you and the other admins behind the scenes. None of this would happen without your watchful eye and hard work.
Safe travels to all.

Great write up Ando thanks for sharing, there’s a few secrets in there that answers why I couldn’t get my cold side out.. hey what year and distance have you travelled?

I noticed the d40 Navara I’ve borrowed for a little while has a 60/40 split rear as standard. The back though is full width so not quite to spec..

Any interest in a thread for this years BRB event 16 -18 July 2019? I’ll be there, any other Rangerites heading to Bashville?

Congratulations all round. Timmy on your new ride, well done mate sounds like plenty of late night research just to get to this stage, now the real fun starts. And pusspuss on your first post in over 5 years, welcome..

hutchid

Same, couple years ago on my px1. Your driving style will attract more attention than the exhaust note, it’s not super loud. And the highway note is good IMO.
Shorter pipe , less restriction, , save 10 kg, no muffler = improvement in my book
Hope that helps

Hey Kane Are you coming to the meetup at Beachport next weekend? We have few ex Patrol members that will be present.

good choice, so they came back into stock then recently then?

hutchid

Do you think we could borrow that for the 3rd annual meetup in May?

Spent hours trying to get it out on my Px1, demo saw with a short blade.

Welcome Nick, enjoy the ride. Love to see some pics of your PJ.

hutchid

Hello and welcome. Love your project and do keep us posted on your progress. I’m sure you are planning well ahead but do keep an eye on your weights. I run a quality slide on camper as well and while dry it’s 400 kg, fully loaded it’s easily double that and I had to work very hard and be ruthless to...

hutchid

Yeah I didn't ever think of it being a right or wrong side up. More which side is going to get pitted and rock blasted on each trip.. both my spares are pretty much trashed on both sides now. Personal preference I think is the answer.

From Simo to Miami for a bit of tailgating before the game... more inspiration from the mother ship than Random Rangers.. enjoy: https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181014/37ee15f09a683e0ef25e1bda02543078.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181014/c0119578b4d423ef8448ffee092f8dcf.jpg https://uploa...

Welcome Gary
That's quite a list, some great beaches up your way, looking forward to hearing about your adventures.

hutchid

ok thats a pity, there are plenty here as they offered the locker on the early PX models. Freight from Aus would kill the deal but I wonder if there is a country closer to the UK. You could import one? Just a thought.. I'm no authority on aftermarket e or air lockers but someone here will be. Hey, w...

hutchid

Welcome Martin, thats a great list, you are just going to have to share some pics please. On your question on lockers, some models already come with a rear locker that is fairly well regarded for example my XLT 2011 here in Australia has one but we also know they offer different features in differen...

Terrific, Edsel, you won't be disappointed, I grabbed a 6th one today for a second spare. I took the opportunity to do a rotate as well. It was the first in 20,000km (mix of city, country, farm, outback touring to Strzelecki Desert, Innamincka, QLD station country) since new and the guy at the tyre ...

hutchid

Hi Edsel Thanks I didn’t know that, I bought these a year ago in Melbourne. The white lettering is on one side only. You instruct the fitter with your preference facing in or out. I went one size up to 265 70 17 and it’s been ideal for me. All the best https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180817/8679d...

Hi guys, those that have fitted medicar or roadsafe: How do you get the "Nuts on Wire" into the chassis? I've read one suggestion they need to go in from the front by removing front bars and plates but is there another easier way like a nice big slot in the chassis rail somewhere? I've scanned with ...

Yep Colin we can see the pics, with a rig like that you won’t need a boat, you won’t want to leave dry land.... haha
Excellent..

Depends how hard you are going to push your rig and what your budget is. I must say my factory 2011 pressed sheet metal always feels pretty light when I remove it to do servicing, and I have a few grazes it in but it's a risk I'm willing to manage. There are plenty of after market under body armour ...

Congratulations and welcome to the forum.
It still should be no higher than around 1900. My tip though would be watch reversing in underground car parks with the rear facing radio antenna. Plenty of sprinkler heads to skewer which would be a wet outcome..

hutchid

Yes agree , it's tight. I very carefully use a vise to clamp the top and bottom together after changing the filter and o ring. It's just to engage the o ring between the top and bottom, once this is done the screw ring can be screwed up by hand, and jobs done.

hutchid

Omg I had an Aeroklas canopy with the similar marks. I didn't buy the rig new so assumed it happened prior to my ownership. I didn't really noticed the damage until I removed the canopy and tub. Ie not as bad as in the pics above. I believe the early Aeroklas canopies didn't have bracing brackets at...
