^That style of rack has been around for a few years in the UK for paddlers - a mate's relatives founded Karitek many years ago (getting onto 20+ years ago) https://www.teal-es.co.uk/kari-tek-products/kari-tek-roof-racks-range/...

Bit more shaking out on the ordering process for here in Australia: https://www.drive.com.au/news/non-refundable-5000-deposit-now-required-for-ineos-grenadier-no-road-testing-or-inspections-available/

Got 6 pups last night. Ours is Kelpie X Collie, Dad is property bred red Kelpie.

Here's a bit of a read on the story of the Ute - it's why the red Holden (with the Chevy badge on it.... it does have a Chevy V8 in it) is a ute, and my Land Crusier and Daihatsu aren't: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-02-27/great-australian-ute-story-of-utility-vehicle-s-birth/100855458

What's the purpose of a warranty? In some cases, it's a guarantee that the product is as described, but realistically, it's an explicit signal from the manufacturer/supplier of their confidence in the product. They know what the product is like, but you as the consumer is guessing at what...

Some feedback on a prototype, tested in a bit of dirt by PistonHeads: https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-driven/ineos-grenadier-prototype-ph-review/45351 Commentary in there on the simplicity of the Grenadier, and the proper low range box. And some from Autocar as well (who are normally...

Yes, it's a Land Rover.... of sorts... It's more akin to a Series 3 Land Rover than it is a Defender - the revolution with the Defender (and the 90/110/127/130 before it) was that it used coil springs. In contrast, the Santana used leaf springs as you stated: So, it's not identical to a 90...

It'll be interesting to see how the new version goes - the Holden Colorado is no more after GM shut down Holden, so this will become a GMC & Chevrolet market only product. With this, they also severed the last of their ties to Isuzu (who are now in bed with Mazda.... who in turn severed ties...

The red one on the end is the ute*; the 80 is a wagon and the other 2 are registered as TTF** (Tray Top with Fittings (meaning side boards)): *Holden VE SSV with the L98 6.0 V8 and a slushbox. ** Last tray I bought (the alloy one on the Land Cruiser) cost me $200 for the alloy tray (it's just...

Hit a smaller grey at about 90km/hr, and the 4Runner was fine.... 'roo? Not so much - ended up in the other lane and dog food for the local farmer.... A red (which would be much bigger) might have survived it, but doubtful. At 130km/hr, the only way the 'roo would be walking away is if it only...

(https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-gear/cars-trucks/build-overland-vehicle-like-australian/) As they say, the max payload on many things in Australia are around 1000kg, perhaps 1200kg. BUT that's because a car licence (the default licence you get when you pass your driving test as a...

The bit that's just twigged with me is the signal that the charger gives the battery management system to tell it to feed the volts in. For example, when my cable isn't plugged quite right, my laptop tells me that it can't charge because the charger can't be detected correctly. I think you may...

I keep forgetting that in most cases the US spec 50mm/2" hitch is a bolt on job with no movement; in Australia and the UK, they all tend to have some rotation on them like this: where they have some rotation on them, based on the section that activates the manual override brakes. In my case...

Given the thread was about Australia, I sort of thought you might think of the NSW New England Area (https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/visit-a-park/parks/new-england-national-park)! NFI from me on the New England area in the USA, but I know the NENW in NSW quite well :p

If you get up to the New England North West, happy to send you off on the Wilderness Trail up here - 3 days in the Bellinger headwaters, starting at about 1300m and dropping down to ~100m by the end. 36kms, but 5km + is walking in the river!

Given the reputation of the Canning Stock Route, and what it did to the fleet of G-Wagen's, it'll be interesting how it pans out for Ineos: https://www.drive.com.au/news/2022-ineos-grenadier-to-tackle-infamous-canning-stock-route/

Australia may not be good at everything, but they've shown they can return a Serb in tennis....

I may not have been clear in my post, but the reason I used the The AA in the UK is that I know that they're one of the 2 peak bodies (the other being the RAC) and that they have always had quite a good handle on what's happening with rules of the member states. I should probably have said the...

For UK registered vehicles driving in Europe this is a useful country by country breakdown of what is needed to be carried: https://www.theaa.com/european-breakdown-cover/driving-in-europe Bear in mind the language used is referring to UK licences etc, and they followed a common format...

Nissan don't any longer; they watered down the Pathfinder into a bloated soft roader after the R51. Ford do the Everest in Australia, and the Bronco in the US. In base spec, with the 3.2 TD the Everest has a 751kg payload, but when you add bells and whistles it quickly drops to 683kg: Base...
