You'll have to get another Pathy mate, now your on NPORA & PCoA you will have to stay true to the model. Or put it on a train to Cyril, he can drop in the Commy V6 for ya.

haha, that would be sweet, especially if we can get 30-40 different Pathy/Terry models, try to get something from all models.

Yeah mate, could be a good trip. Would need to organise it properly, perhaps bring in the SA PCoA members too.

G'day Darren, welcome mate. Looks like its going to be a WA & QLD dominated thread here. Truck looks good, will look forward to seeing the future mods.

Heres one for ya

Yep, I would probably have been stupid enough to try this when I was younger.

I received this in an email, I am still crying from laughing so hard. "Pocket Taser Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife". A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Taser for their anniversary submitted this: "Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized taser. The effects of the taser were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety....WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button AND pressed it against a metal surface at the same time, I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs. AWESOME!!! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave. Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two AAA batteries, right? There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target. I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong? So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and taser in another. The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries. All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5"long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference; pretty cute really and loaded with two itsy, bitsy AAA batteries thinking to myself, "no possible way!" What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best...? I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side as if to say, "don't do it, dip@!*%," reasoning that a one second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad. I decided to give myself a one second burst just for heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and .. . . HOLY MOTHER OF GOD . . . WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION . . . WHAT THE HELL!!! I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the foetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs. The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room. Note: If you ever feel compelled to "mug" yourself with a taser, one note of caution: there is no such thing as a one second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor. A three second burst would be considered conservative? SON-OF-A-BITCH, THAT HURT LIKE HELL!!! A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was. My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. I had no control over the drooling. Apparently I @!*% myself, but was too numb to know for sure and my sense of smell was gone. I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head which I believe was came from my hair. I'm still looking for my nuts and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!! P.S. My wife loved the gift, and now regularly threatens me with it! "If you think Education is difficult, try being stupid."

I could keep playing this game

A few more

Yeah mate, welcome aboard.

I need to have a look at your on board air system too mate, am interested in the idea, not sure if I can go without aircon though.

Yeah yeah, pretty sad hey. But gotta do what I gotta do.

Towbar may be ok, I thought you meant the rear bumper. You would be better off asking a towbar place, they will know for sure.

I wouldn't trust the stock rear bar with a high lift, even your front bar I would struggle to trust it. Have a look at Cyrils Pathy, he has made his own front bar.

I pulled this off a website about travelling Australia, thought it was a good laugh. Q: Do you have electricity in Australia? A: Yes, but not everywhere, at Cape Tribulation in the Daintree, North Queensland, we don't. Q: Will we see kangaroos hopping through the streets? A: Yes, in Cooktown you can see them at night, and in Canberra they have come in to the city parks during droughts. Q: Will there be crocodiles in the streets? A: Only during high water, like during the king tides in Cairns where one poor croc got run over by a car in the industrial area and during the floods in Katherine where an aerial photograph showed a crocodile in the middle of the main street in front of the supermarket swimming along. Q: Do you have monkeys in Australia? A: YES! Several zoos throughout Australia have monkeys! There are none in the wild, if you look at the world map and follow the islands of Indonesia along in you will notice that (if you have a good map) somehere to the east of Bali, there is a line on the map called the Wallace line. This is where Mr. Wallace, a Pommie biologist if I remember correctly, noted the changeover between Asian and Australian flora and fauna. Below is a list of not too frequently asked questions: Q: Can I pick up my camper van in Auckland and drop it off in Darwin?(Belgium) A: Sure, take a ferry, change the registration plates from New Zealand to Australian, and find a way to calm down the people you rented it from when they hear where their vehicle has ended up. Q: Does it ever get windy in Australia? I have never seen it rain on TV, so how do the plants grow? (UK) A: We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around watching them die. Q: Will I be able to see kangaroos in the street? (USA) A: Depends how much you've been drinking Q: I want to walk from Perth to Sydney - can I follow the railroad tracks? (Sweden) A: Sure, it's only three thousand miles, take lots of water... Q: Is it safe to run around in the bushes in Australia? (Sweden) A: So it's true what they say about Swedes. Q: It is imperative that I find the names and addresses of places to contact for a stuffed porpoise. (Italy) A: Let's not touch this one. Q: Are there any ATMs (cash machines) in Australia? Can you send me a list of them in Brisbane, Cairns, Townsville and Hervey Bay? (UK) A: What did your last slave die of? Q: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Australia? (USA) A: A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe. Aus-tra-lia is that big island in the middle of the pacific which does not... oh forget it. Sure, the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in Kings Cross. Come naked. Q: Which direction is North in Australia? (USA) A: Face south and then turn 90 degrees. Contact us when you get here and we'll send the rest of the directions. Q: Can I bring cutlery into Australia? (UK) A: Why? Just use your fingers like we do. Q: Can you send me the Vienna Boys' Choir schedule? (USA) A: Aus-tri-a is that quaint little country bordering Ger-man-y, which is...oh forget it. Sure, the Vienna Boys Choir plays every Tuesday night in Kings Cross, straight after the hippo races. Come naked. Q: Do you have perfume in Australia? (France) A: No, WE don't stink. Q: I have developed a new product that is the fountain of youth. Can you tell me where I can sell it in Australia? (USA) A: Anywhere significant numbers of Americans gather. Q: Can I wear high heels in Australia? (UK) A: You are a British politician, right? Q: Can you tell me the regions in Tasmania where the female population is smaller than the male population? (Italy) A: Yes, gay nightclubs. Q: Do you celebrate Christmas in Australia? (France) A: Only at Christmas. Q: Are there supermarkets in Sydney and is milk available all year round? (Germany) A: No, we are a peaceful civilisation of vegan hunter gatherers. Milk is illegal. Q: Please send a list of all doctors in Australia who can dispense rattlesnake serum. (USA) A: Rattlesnakes live in A-meri-ca which is where YOU come from. All Australian snakes are perfectly harmless, can be safely handled and make good pets. Q: I have a question about a famous animal in Australia, but I forget its name. It's a kind of bear and lives in trees. (USA) A: It's called a Drop Bear. They are so called because they drop out of gum trees and eat the brains of anyone walking underneath them. You can scare them off by spraying yourself with human urine before you go out walking. Q: I was in Australia in 1969 on R+R, and I want to contact the girl I dated while I was staying in Kings Cross. Can you help? (USA) A: Yes, and you will still have to pay her by the hour. Q: Will I be able to speek English most places I go? (USA) A: Yes, but you'll have to learn it first.

If they can do a 2" susp lift, get them to do that and then do a 1" body lift, that way you get your 3" lift. You should be able to get either an ARB or TJM for your pathy, sounds like you got the typical attitude here in Oz when it comes to Pathy/Terranos. I have read in one forum when someone asked about lifting a Terrano that the best lift you can do on a Terrano is to put it on a trailer and take it tp the tip. They are a greatly under apreciated machine here in Oz. You can go onto the ARB website and check out what is available to you, if you cant find anything, there have been plans flying around on here for custom front bars, for your side steps you can have a fabrication shop make them up also.

Nothing planned at the moment, will have to check with the boss to see if there is anything that I dont know about.

No worries, should head down one weekend, have a sit down with a bourbon and organise the trip.

There is one on PCOA, and another from Perth4x4 who is keen to head out for a day trip. I can probably sort a few more out, but I probably wont be able to head out for a few weeks.

What is make & model of the car?

I'd go with stuck/dislodged tumblers, the lock to keep the key in should hold it all the way in, not allow you to pull the key 1/2 way out. The deadbolt on my front door at home did the same thing, ended up having to pull the thing apart just to get the key out. I have a buddy who is a locksmith, I have sms'd him, if I hear back I will let you know what he suggests.

Vegimite is a food of champions, real men eat it.

No worries, as soon as I have done it, I will let you guys know.
