Or there's this... Clicky Convenient particularly for me, the bloke that does them lives just 5 minutes from me! --DuckMan.

So I went from this: ...To this... So now, my Speedometer is wrong, because I have fatty tyres. Any ideas on how to adjust that so its correct? --DuckMan.

I personally carry an exhaust jack, since I dont have a Winch bar/decent bumper/Rock Sliders/Anything, there's no convenient jacking points for me. Having said that, I've never needed to use it.

Maybe change the battery cables? I did it to my 94 when I bought it, they looked a bit dodgey, & I havent had any problems with it, except there was one time when I tried to start it, & it wouldnt, but that was because the clamps weren't tightened... stereo turned on, ignition lights came on, but then didnt crank. --DuckMan.

No experience with this myself, but I agree with the above post, according to this: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/archive/ind...p/t-320741.html --DuckMan.

So I intend to do the JGC Rear lift & slip in some new Torsion bars on the front, but I was wondering if there is any way for me adjust my rideheight on the fly. For example, I want to be able to jack it up for off road, drop it down for multi level carparks. Would the Rancho 9000 series do this? Looked into it but cant find anything apart from that it will harden or soften my ride. I'll have to post some pics once I get the Lift going... Thanks in advance, --DuckMan.

Thanks heaps for the help everyone, this has saved me soooo much wasted time & anguish! --DuckMan.

So its pretty self explanatory, Need to get a cable from the back (Tyre carrier), to the front (inside the cabin). Ideas? Pictures/Diagrams if anyone has any leftover, or has time to take some would be really REALLY helpful. --DuckMan.

So, here it is. Yesterday I went on a 'Skilled Driver's' course with my Insurace company (AAMI for anyone who cares). There was a number of practical exercises that we in the group undertook. The first of these being the Slalom. For anyone who doesnt know what this is, it is when you set up a line of traffic cones on a straight road, spaced apart so that you can weave you car in & out of them. For us, It was an exercise to show control at various speeds. ok, so here's the question. As was expected, it was exponentially more difficult to turn as the speeds increased, & even though the Pathy handled beautifully in comparison to some of the jelly beans that were driving this exercise, when I was turning, the steering was really REALLY heavy, like trying to park a car that doesn't have power steering. Is this normal? Would a steering stabiliser/damper help with this? Try it out, see what you all come up with. Thanks in advance, --DuckMan.

It makes for a very good excuse not to drive annoying people home after a booze cruise. --DuckMan.

I know its very far from safe to back passengers, but I keep mine cable tied to the back of the passenger's fornt seat, on the headrest bars. I keep it there so it doesnt matter where in the car you are, you can always access it, & I usually have nobody sitting in my back seats & have them collapsed. --DuckMan.

These are some really comprehensive lists here, so I wont go over what has already been mentioned, but here's my 2 cents: 1. Most of you mentioned first aid kit. Make sure you can get to it fast. seconds matter, so for me this is the most important piece of equipment in my Truck. Here in Australia, I'm a Paramedic (EMT I think some of you American blokes call us), & in my line of work, the time it takes you to get to your equipment & also what you have is paramount. So a couple of things on the First aid Kit. a. Make sure all your stock is accessible & not stacked on top of each other. When you need anything more than a Band Aid, you need it fast. b. Make sure all your stock is 'IN DATE', out of date stock can fail. More often than not it doesnt, but some do. c. GLOVES! Usually your only barrier of infection control. Use them. Double Glove if you need to. d. If you have the money, buy a Defibrillator. They're really REALLY easy to use, but worth ~$5000 AUD. For me, a person's life is worth that much. I carry one in my Truck. One last thing. Hi Visibility Vest I dont think was mentioned, These are Dirt Cheap. In Australia these are Tax free, so they're worth peanuts from any Safety Shop. Safety First. If you get injured, then you're not much use to anyone. Hope this helps. --DuckMan.
