  1. Not sure, email I got said gal, so gal it was
  2. True, 4x4parts has some, but at US$105 plus what ever to get it sent to me, I figured it was better to do my own, didnt cost me anything and I would say stronger too.
  3. Go for it, the forum is here for us to share ideas/information. I will post drawings up later today, need to get them changed from the original design.
  4. Wanted to keep my sway bar on as the missus likes to drive the truck and tryin to get her to not drive it like a sports car would be too hard. So I had the boys at work machine me up a set of disconnectors using solid 16mm & 25mm 304g stainless. Original hangers were cut down & threaded, then the 16mm parts were tig welded to the shafts, I still have to get some heavy duty shock cord to stop it from dropping too far. They can easily be disconnected & reconnected in seconds without having to get under the truck. This is the finished product in the back of the truck Installed but disconnected. Then reconnected. Overall I am pretty happy with them.
  5. Welcome mate, after reading your posts you will definitely fit in here. Just wait til you develop the nervous twitch that comes with owning a Pathy.
  6. I wanted to get a boston, but the only place I could find one here was in Queensland and they wanted $1400 for one, I couldnt justify that for a family pet.
  7. I'll make room, will know for sure when I rip the console out and have a look.
  8. After stewing over cup holder ideas for the last couple of months, I believe I may have a solution. Its a cooler/warmer unit ($29.95 from Dick Smiths), with 2 cupholder built in. I already have power at the centre console, so that wont be a problem. Will begin looking at it this weekend, console out, start with taking out original box, then modify surround to accept this one. Width wise its the same as the centre console at the base, length its about 2" longer and height is around 1 1/2". The best part is it will keep 9 cans cool (20 degrees below ambient). Will post pics as I complete the project.
  9. Not sure, I know they have done a few comps here, but not with this rig.
  10. A woman ran over a mattress and decided to keep going anyway. The mattress got caught in the car's under belly and finally whipped around enough to put a tear in the gas tank. Leaking gas She still managed to drive the car for 30 more miles decently, with a 60lb tangle wrapped around the drive-shaft. The subsequent lack of fuel is what finally brought her vehicle to its knees. After having her car towed to her dealer's garage, She complained that the vehicle had a "shimmy" when driving it at high speeds. This is what the dealership found..............
  11. Sorry mate, didnt realise where the write up was, cant access the area without registering. Lets just say it will stand out.
  12. Nah mate, but keep an eye out for the rig coming over from perth. http://www.perth4x4.net/forum/showthread.;highlight=tuff
  13. Hmm, I thought here in Australia was the only place that let in wandering Kiwi's... Welcome aboard, I'm sure you will get alot out of the knowledge base here.
  14. Truck looks awesome, love the snorkel. Quick Q though, what is the small filter below the snorkel intake for?
  15. The Erection that time forgot.
