Inflating a tyre with a a can of "Aerostart". In OZ we call it "Start Ya Bastard" . True it's even on the label but it's the same product. Don't try this at home. It's crazy. Thanks to Doug Hackney for helping me to get the vid onto youtube and then ExPo. Click here...

Refrigeration. At work at the moment we're converting the rear aluminum storage box on a BMW GS 1200 into a well insulated icebox. No big deal I suppose it's common to do. Is it?? Anyway has anyone here ever built in proper refrigeration using a small compressor that only runs when the bikes...

Hi Guys. I'm hoping that the moderators will see fit to make this a "sticky" thread if it takes off. Some of the pics that have come out from Tony and Michael recently prompted me to maybe start a thread just for FG's in action rather than just putting them in the "camper examples" thread. Not...

Continued from "More design ideas / questions" Dontpanic42 said Bruce, Sorry for sounding dumb but what does the “lower 48” mean? I’ll just throw you some info on diesel heating systems now and maybe this will help. Also I must emphasize that any installation that differs from the...

Have been discussing posting this thread with a few guys for a couple of weeks and thanks to Doug Hackney for providing the question template. I didn’t change the format at all. Just hope I do it justice. If anyone else has any suggestions for improvements please feel free to offer them up...

Hope I'm doing the right thing, I was told that there was trouble with site over the weekend and this post may have been lost. Therefore I'm reposting it. Here goes: I know that there are a few builds underway at the moment so I am posting this as a possible alternative to common timber / ply...

Hey, I know that there are a few builds underway at the moment so I am posting this as a possible alternative to common timber / ply interiors and cabinetry. I found this product made in Florida, which looks to be very similar to one that is sold here in Australia and we have used before...

This is obviously a supplement to the last thread and relates specifically to a more conventional Dual Battery System and the methods used to isolate, connect or individually charge them. In the past, a common approach was to use diode isolators. Very simple and virtually no chance of failure...

Regarding this post, I know there is a dedicated forum for power systems, but this is something that really only applies to larger “Expedition” style vehicles and I would particularly like to get some constructive criticism/feedback from this community as you are the guys that are living with...

Hi, Noticed one of the old threads talking about Coasters being converted to 4x4 using Landcruiser running gear. We had this one in the workshop last week to get some extra seating fitted and check over the solar and electrical system. A young couple had just bought it. Hope they realise how...

Hi. It was my plan to post a different vehicle every couple of weeks as I did with “Yes it an FG” and this one. But ONLY if it’s OK with you guys. I certainly don’t think forums should be a place for manufacturers to dump product advertising. That’s what our website’s for. I was really just...

Hi , There has been a lot of talk about SRW conversions not being supported as far as warranty claims go. Just to throw in my 50 cents >I can tell you that there is an enormous amount of testing, documentation and interaction between the dealers, our transport authority and us as a company who...

Hope the pics work. My first post. Sorry I'm still finding my way around a a little. Anyway this is a turbo FG we built a few years ago. I think it was an '03 model. It was really maxed out with options. Remote control everything. Have only done a couple of these on FG chassis but are really...
