  1. Hello Everybody, I have a very green question that I'm hoping some hardcore DIY'ers may be able to shed some light on! I was doing some offroading and drove into a big old mud puddle. Got stuck, Got out. But then I realized my Brakes went real soft. Like real soft. and any extended periods of not using the brakes meant that had to pump the peddle a few time before i pot any pressure on the pedal to get any braking power. I got home and bled the brakes, I couldn't see any bubbles in the line, but the fluid was real brown (I think brake fluid goes brown when it absorbs moisture, right?). So the fluid in the system is much clearer at this point and the brakes are much better at this point. They are still a little soft, but no longer requires pumping up. GREAT...ish. Then I go through a water crossing some time later and BOOM, they go real soft again. My initial thoughts are that there must be somewhere where the water is getting in, but then there would be a leak, which i cant see anywhere. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!
  2. Hey Everyone, I'm after a bit of knowledge that you all might be holding onto. I have recently brought a Terrano R50 (basically a pathy) and it doesn't have the factory roof rails that run down the length of the truck. Luckily it does have the fixed points under the gutter covers. I looked at getting some second hand Terrano roof racks to throw on, but I can't find any! Does anyone know of any other models that have the same mounting dimensions as the Terrano, that I may actually be able to find in country (I was thinking Xterra, X-trail, patrol, safari). I'm also open to aftermarket options! Thanks in advance!
  3. Love this idea, Im having trouble finding roof racks for my Terrano here in NZ and I reckon something like this might be perfect to get me through. Any chance you can elaborate on the design of these mounts a bit more? I'm guessing these are bolted directly to the fixed points in the rain gutter? Love the rest of the build too!
