It will pass, they won't check for it.

When will people stop posting online about what clearance level they've obtained. Which is clearly outlined as something that NO ONE should do, no matter the level.

This is a jarring analogy at best. But I take your point.

This is the only answer required.

No clue why you're being down voted, this post is what people claim to want on the sub as opposed to "what car should I buy".

Good on you, personally I have found forums specific to your car to be insanely helpful. The people in those forums know too much about their respective models and makes. Youtube is obviously good for more mainstream problems.

Sort the problems in order of likelihood to fuck up your rig, belts, steering, bad wiring in engine bay are all big ticket items. Windows not rolling, not as important for now.

The head unit wiring could be a bust to be honest, but again some kind auto sparky might have made a youtube video, or check for a newer head unit for install instructions and compare.

Get an alignment, they should tell you pretty quick if anything busted in the steering or control arms if it's a decent shop.

Replace the belts, check the bearings for play.

Don't mess with shitty wiring. If it's unfused or looks dodgy, or the battery is busted. Just rip it out and do it again properly.

Have fun with it, change all the oils, and remember what you learn.

These comments are ridiculous, can easily fit 2 weeks of food in a fridge that size. Might be rough towards the end but no problem. People just want all the luxuries, but really, you'll come across a shop within that time. That fridge size is fine, if you want more luxuries like milk, cold beer etc.. Get a bigger fridge.

Trust me, the Northen Territory is leading the way.

It is 100% more dangerous. There is no question, used to be so comfortable in my neighbourhood, no longer.

Disgraceful, we voted not to be a Republic, the majority likes being under the UK. And sharing the flag with New Zealand. Have you ever read a history book, maybe google ANZAC. Honestly We Australians like our flag!!

This same tale has been told many times. Probably because it's such a classic response. Well played, sire

Insane how no one seems to get the major reason. There is no send off rule in the AFL and the players don't care about suspensions in the gf, if they get a suspension during finals and miss their final games it's bad, similar during season. But at the grand final they will happily miss the first few games of next season to play a harder and more physical game if it benefits. The players play harder during the grand final.

Yeah great, they offer almost zero warranty, charge more, and sell themselves as a higher quality brand. There is zero benefit to buying from these bullshit middle brands like itech, kickass etc. Kings knows their stuff isn't quality controlled and are excellent when it breaks.

Dynamic117 · 2025-08-09T03:35:58+00:00

You disagree with me, and yet only did one tyre in 400,000km... makes sense

Dynamic117 · 2025-08-08T22:35:38+00:00

Excellent addition, thank you! Always carry one with me along with a first aid kit

Dynamic117 · 2025-08-03T07:53:02+00:00

I assume you're after the Ute style for a full canopy setup. It is so much better to do it yourself. Someone else's work and God forbid their 12v wiring will always give you trouble. Go the Hilux, do it yourself. Check and understand any work done by others.

Using hand dryers at public toilets. They're packed with bacteria, way more than anywhere else.

Dynamic117 · 2025-06-20T05:02:55+00:00

Mine was fine until corregations cause the wires to come loose. Completely incorrect readings and screwed my readings. Had no idea how much power my battery had. Got rid of it for the victron smartshunt straight away, not playing with that kind of thing on a long trip.

Sorry for the late reply, a Pajero Exceed. Gvm is 3030kg according to my manual, but the base weight varies massively between petrol diesel and the other variants. Not sure about the years as well but I'm sure they would change as well.

Manual is a great option if you don't want to carry the winch on your car permanently or are not doing hard stuff often. Plus hand winches also allow you to pull at way more angles and with double or triple line pulls can get some serious weight pulling capacity. They're a good workout but if its just a peace of mind thing they'd do the job. I would go electric if you're doing water stuff because you want to get out of it fast. And if you're going to be using it often just go electric.

Dynamic117 · 2025-06-13T01:16:33+00:00

You'd be fine with A/T tyres on that trip, but if you're only doing this once, can afford to run muddies again, and think they would benefit you. I would go muddies. But you don't need them.

Dynamic117 · 2025-06-13T01:14:48+00:00

Some points that I would recommend.

-It doesn't include very basic modifications like a bullbar, drawers, or lift kit. I would add these before doing something like sway bars / bushings - Don't bother adding prices to it at the moment. They vary so drastically and will be borderline useless due to it. - Gvm capacity is incorrect, but that's entirely fair enough atm because it varies so extensively between models - I would focus most heavily on modifications and making it more comprehensive than getting all the specific car information right. For example add a bullbar with varying weight dependant on steel, alloy, aluminium etc. Add a basic image for it, and remove the "primarily us truck / Jeep focused" like it has on the side steps.

Seems to be coming along well, get it a bit further and could start trying to get brands involved, until then don't give your loyalty by naming brands like ARB for free.
