Something's not quite right here, can you spot it? Well, I've had a minor problem with the cruiser lately and finally figured it out, can you spot the problem? For the sake of reference it's a 1HZ engine. A close look, thanks to the camera because I could not fit my head in there... The...

Headlight Retainer MOD (i.e. Don't forget your headlights on...) I should have paid a bit more attention to your second sentence because with time, a solution will present itself... Headlight Retainer Mod Cheers, P

Can't be streamed within the United States. No love in Queensland Australia with either Hulu or iTunes. Any other options? Did you get a new account? We've got a Canadian one but no luck with that either. Don't suppose I could convince someone to burn a copy on CD and send it my way...

Travelling arround Oz Sounds like you and your family are making the most of your travels and seeing some of the best spots this country has to offer. So how did you find the 4.2L Turbo to put in the 105? Cheers, P

Why spend the money on a quality snatch strap - ARB or Other... Jamie, Last year I read an excellent review by Australian 4WD Action (Issue No. 128) where they completed a very in depth Snatch Strap Comparo. They tested 18 different straps from 10 different suppliers. They tested both in the...

Great advice I'm in the process of feeding my interest in photography so your words of wisdom are appreciated. :sombrero:

Well done! :sombrero:

Nice aquisition! :wings:

Nice to see the revised rear bar! Interesting to see that they've completed the update. Last year at the March Brisbane 4x4 Show, I spent quite a bit of time with one of the fabrication leads for Kaymar as I was in the market for a rear bar. They had a newly designed rear bar for the latest...

Very cool travels, experiences, food and experiences. Wil you beat me to it, but I was going to ask is this the same new HEMA Navigator 5" capable of Street, 4WD and Topo (via OziExplorer) that was recently released in Australia? I've been reading about it recently... Cheers, P

Cook Partner I've got a nice Cook Partner collecting dust back in Canada unfortunately... Every time I use other stoves here, I keep thinking about the Cook Partner and wishing it was in Australia with us on our many adventures. Another vote for the Cook Partner. Previous thread: Partner...

Very funny, especially after living in Oz for a bit. I can appreciate the humor. :elkgrin:

I'm always currious to know how other like minded CDN cruisers owners are up to and how the rigs are set up. :sombrero: That's excellent fuel consumption. My 1HZ is no where near that... Just put on 1100 Km's to/from Fraser Island. 600 Km's off road (soft sand) mix of Hi and Lo range...

Partial success Well I've purchased the Master Pull Ramsey MPF-400 aluminium fairlead and fitted it to the TJM front bar. The temporary solution, re-drilled roller fairlead 13 mm +/- 1 mm. The new replacement: Roller fairlead vs. aluminium hawse fairlead: The Ramsey MPF-400...

Bummer That's a real bummer. I wonder if this has anything to do with it... "NEW STAUN WHEELS COMING SOON Staun and Performance Wheels a great Australian manufacturer of heavy duty Alloy wheels have come toghether to create the first wheel designed for the perfect beadlock fit. Based on...

Canadian Tacoma and Fabricator It's great to see other Canadian Tacomas being build up especially by someone with mad fabrication skills! A few items to consider: With your ARB, you should think about doing the end cap mod before any serious winching. We had a thread that may help you with...

Diff breathers For my last rig and current rig, I've simply extended the diff breather up into the engine bay and used a simple $5 fuel filter at the end of the hose to prevent contaminants from entering the diff (think dust, dirt, mud, water etc...). Both rigs had ARB lockers installed. I've...

Locker or MaxTrax. My vote is for neither Locker of MaxTrax. Spend the funds on an air source that allows you to air down. Keep the open diffs, spend what you can afford on quality recovery gear (shovel, winch - hand or electric, etc...). If you have any additional money burning a hole in...

Storage, NL dual battery and chains. Very cool interior set up. I've been using a similar set up for 3 months now and it's a beautiful display and control unit. I've only a few gripes now compared to the Sure Power units but they are really a thing of preferance vs problems: 1-I prefer the...

Any updates? Any new updates on the new to you rig? :sombrero:
