I have seen one of these batteries explode, it was an n70z, we use two of them on each work truck for 24V. The battery was fairly old, it was on the truck when we bought it, and the side of the battery was curved outwards a little. One day the driver started the truck and an almighty POP...

Lively Zach nice question, I too am looking forward to an answer, I recently added a van to the back of my 12T Hino but it was directly to the chassis via anti-torsion mounts, not on an existing tray. I would prefer to have some system using a flatbed so I can remove the van once I reach my...

well glad to hear it was hilarious and not tragic... I got em on both sides on the outside of the cab too, makes walking along the mudguard to the rear a breeze :)

I had a perfectly good bulb do this to me in my Hino the other week... the rust had completely separated the electrical connection! I had to smash the good bulb to pry the base of it out with a screwdriver (carefully, without damaging the socket.) Then I cleaned up the socket with a miniature...

If you are all gonna be in Australia in November as scheduled (even after having to backtrack across half the Asian continent), I must give you a heads up for an astronomical event occurring at dawn on Nov 14 (total solar eclipse) which starts in Arnhem Land NT and crosses the Gulf of...

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice :) Good to see an Aussie story! In a few days I leave for Cairns from Perth in a fairly straight line (via Warburton, Uluru) so look forward to adding an inspiring thread myself. Goodonya!

great photos! Will check the vid later when its not choking my bandwidth ;)

Jared I was also searching for a thread on this subject a couple of weeks back with not much luck. I remember finding some comments by a tour operator in Far North Queensland saying he had snapped a couple of studs running singles, but that's about it. If you find anything lemme know too...

has anyone used the Midland 75-822? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Midland-75-822-40-Channel-Hand-Held-Micro-CB-Radio-NEW-/120806800354?pt=US_CB_Radios&hash=item1c20a57be2#ht_892wt_1398 It appears to have a connection for the roof mounted aerial... I'm thinking its useful as a second radio as it...

the only drawback i can think of is ventilation... but in a cold cold winter I guess stuffy can suddenly become cosy ;) I say do it! :D Chameleon style! You can even make it pay its own way by transporting cold cuts! And roadkill suddenly has extra value ;)

sounds like what they call 'fifth wheel'

Hi all, I'm new to this site... I posted this in another forum already, but now that I found this one I figured it might be more appropriate seeing as its not lumped in with Europe, Asia and Africa as well. (well at least we are kind of close to Asia) xD Is anyone heading to the eclipse...

It should be amphibious so you CAN literally sail from Arizona to Africa :)

you didn't really need a tow, just two saplings :D http://www.break.com/index/no-wheel-no-problem-1973198

literally tons :D

Thanks for the interesting read! Love what you did adding storage to the undersides... opens up completely new avenues of thought for me! Love the cats finding their place too :) Cheers.

oh look there's another :) http://www.robgray.com/graynomad/worts/wort_13/index.php

Oh and the Hino USED to come in 4x4 in the smaller size (FT not GT) http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Automotive/Used-Cars/AdNumber=D481001325641

Gladly. I run a spreading company with my uncle. We have two Hino's ('86 and '89) and two Mitsubishis (similar vintage) Not sure if those are too dated for your interest so I will keep this brief unless you ask for more ^^ Mitsubishi doesn't come in 4x4, but seems to use less fuel and the...

I would love to know more about this single wheel conversion. I drive an '89 GT as a spreader in WA 7 months of the year, looking to take it across to the November eclipse in Cairns, would prefer singles on the back! Is it hard to convert from one to the other? Is it as simple as fitting...
