Like you, I'm glad I don't live in a major metro area.... on the whole.... but we have very limited access to testing facilities (for example, PCR tests get flown to the State Capital once a day from one of the testing companys, so that means if you had your test at 9am you wouldn't get your...

I had a feeling it would be under control, but worth checking - it also adds content for people to find and learn from! That looks a good solution, I might hunt something similar for our trailer.

Looking at the formply (at a guess) bed base, and remembering a conversation with a work mate who had this issue, how are you ensuring there's ventilation to avoid condensation forming and therefore mould on the mattress? He ended up having to buy a whole new ($1000) mattress, and then drilling...

Have a look at an electrical wholesalers list and I'm sure you'd find some wide enough to work. It seems to come in about 150mm (6") increments so 450 or 600mm would be the next size up. I know this site is Australian, but it gives you ideas of the options available in profile, shapes and...

I think that @plainjaneFJC was possibly onto something with the comment re the desirability of retro inspired vehicles. Some have been great, some not so good. I think there are some things that make a difference however in the desirability of them: 1) Consistent design cues, or at least...

3m of 300mm wide cable tray cost me AU$60. Galvanised steel and also available in Ali.

We do get some of the American stuff here, but it's eye-wateringly expensive as it goes through a 2nd stage manufacturer to convert from left to right hand drive. Legislatively, they also often creep up a driving licence bracket (Car licences are upto 4500kg) and many parking spaces are 6m long...

Subtle differences between the 2 that helps to date them is that the Grille on the 1995 has TOYOTA, whilst the 1998 has the T in the hoops If you can get the chassis number and plug it into Amayama or ToyoDIY you'll find the year in there. Hope that helps, Ed

Badge and grille is right for a 1998, 4.5 litre petrol is right for a 1998. Its an FZJ73 (possibly a 74) as it's a heavy MWB with leaf springs all round. Hope that helps a bit

Simple answer is what you paid for it. You've just bought it, and obviously no one wanted it more than you in its current location or condition. If you move it to somewhere with a larger potential market, or change the buying terms (for example, ability to test drive and independent inspection...

Many of the 70s and 80s that are being discussed are more likely to be the 2H and 1HZ, big lazy 4200cc diesels that aren't rocket ships in any form, so avoid the BEB issue of the early 1HDT. With regard to the 300CI engined Ford F-truck, what would the size be in comparison to a Toyota? Width...

If I was back in the UK these (probably the Mallerstangs) would be top of my list for an every day walking and travelling boot in some form: https://www.altberg.co.uk/ Given their range of military boots, as well as the civvy range (including walking boots) I think there would be something...

Changing to LHD would mean it would be (very) hard to register in Australia because of the age (not old enough to be LHD) so that would bring a few challenges. Based on that, it's going to be easier to keep it RHD. Engine wise, it sounds like it's a 15B-T or similar, not 100% sure.

These are the nets that nearly everyone who has a ute has for covering their load in Australia; not only does the load need tying down, it often needs covering to prevent things falling out. https://www.safeguardnet.com.au/ We use one to snig down the camper trailer top (saves a load on fuel!)...

Few more updates on the Grenadier: https://pistonheads.com/news/ph-britishcars/ineos-backs-hydrogen-for-future-grenadiers/44818 https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/new-ineos-grenadier-fcev-use-hyundais-hydrogen-technology

The closest comparison would be to look at how much a Ford F Truck or RAM1500 costs in Australia.... in both cases there's the compliance costs, and the modification to make it compliant as well as shipping etc.

I've got a 1994 FZJ80 that I picked up for AU$3100. So far it's needed one set of tyres ($600 for some takeoffs from a 70 series) a new radiator ($600), battery ($200), O2 sensor and spark plugs ($175) and an Aircon recharge ($120). Oh and a set of new keys It's now done 36,000km with...

This has a payload of nearly 1,000kg (I think it's 940kg) between unladen with me in it and GVM. Easiest way for me increase the amount it can carry is let the missus drive instead of me, and not go along - that would take the payload up to 970kg straight away. Admittedly, it'd be slow as a...

And a bit more from Pistonheads: https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-britishcars/ineos-plots-up-to-23-retail-outlets-for-grenadier/44740 and Autocar: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/new-ineos-grenadier-launch-july-2022-%C2%A348000 UK focused, but I think the pattern is becoming clearer

Australia pricing and servicing model released today: https://www.drive.com.au/news/2022-ineos-grenadier-pricing-from-84500-coming-to-australia-q4-2022/ Looks interesting in terms of using the Bosch Service Centre network, and not a surprise on the fixed price model (looking at Ford's Bronco...
