    30s vs 31s

    Hey guys, I'm probably gonna get some steel rims and new tyres soon. 30x9.5x15 should be close enough to stock not to need to regear the diffs, right? 31x10.15x15 however seems to be on the cusp of NEEDING to regear, but it's advisable. My question, then, is really how much effect will 31s...

    Woes after wading

    Hi guys, I'm pretty sure I pushed the boundaries of wading recently and I've experienced some problems - all electrical it seems. (I did search "wading" but didn't find a whole lot)) Twice when wading I've had a problem where the accelerator pedal doesn't seem to work. Apparently the KJs...

    75W90 in front diff

    Hey guys, I recently got my diffs' oils changed and on the receipt from the service centre, they've only listed 5L of 75W90. I know the front diff is supposed to take 75W140. Assuming they have put 75W90 in both, what is the magnitude of the problem? e.g. will the thinner oil in the...

    15x8 with 4.5" BS

    Hi guys, I'm contemplating getting some steel rims and after doing some searching here, I was gonna go for 15x7" with 4" BS. A local dealer only has 15x8 with ET0. According to this chart, that's 4.5" BS So compared to my current 16x7 rims, those steelies would only stick out 1" more...

    DIY LED spot light build

    Riiight, I've been planning this build for ages now and I finally got all the bits together that I need. (I won't mention that someone who will remain nameless, threw away the first batch of LEDs I ordered) We've all seen those ridiculously over-priced LED light bars...

    EFS Suspension

    Hey guys, Anyone here have any experience with EFS suspension? I'm hoping to be in the market for a lift kit for Christmas and EFS was recommended to be by a local fitment centre. Both the fitment centre and the local forum suggest the quality is on par with OME.

    Three-letter search. Mods?

    This is an issue I've come across on many forums, but there seem to be more three-letter abbreviations/words here than I've experienced anywhere else. For example, you can't search for: UCA, LBJ, OME, "OLD MAN EMU", JBA, OIL, CRD, PCV, IAC, PCM, RB1 ...you get the idea Any chance of removing...

    Sticking in 4WD

    Hey guys, After I've changed back to 2WD from 4-part time, my wheels still hop when turning on pavement. Is there a trick to getting the transfer case to properly disengage? (sorry if that's a real noob question!)

    Owning a CRD vs Owning a V6

    I'm still trying to decide between buying a V6 or CRD. Before everyone starts shouting that this has been done before and going on about fuel consumption, what I'd like to establish here is what they're like to live with. Reliability, performance (off road?), user-friendliness etc. After...
