I still reckon I've only seen about a dozen in real life. Even the MK/MQ (series 160) and GQ (Y60) Patrols are like hens teeth now. Again, should have kept some.

Had one of these for a bit 25 years ago. Was a '72 or '73 from memory. It sat for 10 or so years out in the rain before I got it. I had to drain about 20 litres of water out of the fuel tank as it had sat with no fuel cap. The engine started and idled smooth on the fuel that had been sitting...

Just a substitute for these that also may keep some grime sealed out.

If so, that's a very solid hit. I've seen them shrug off dead center hits on big buck kangaroos (180lb?) with no damage. Without those last bolts, not so much :laughing:

If you bought the ARB bar second hand and didn't get the full set of install instructions there's no way you'd ever know, but with most of them after you bolt the bar up to the sub-chassis/winch cradle section and get all your alignment spot-on there's two little dimples on each side you're...

Yep. Just took my teenage daughter to see Deftones. First time I saw them was maybe 1995 in a room with probably 150 people. This show was in a tennis/basketball arena that holds 21,000.

And now there is roughly 1 million more than there was after the 1996 buyback. While I find it hilarious that they are losing their minds over these numbers lately I'm not sure what the connection is? Am I supposed to shoot the septic guy? I'm not going to shoot the septic guy.

He ****s everyone. He really ****s the guys in the newer subdivisions with the aerobic systems.

It's zinc annealed plate coated in 2-pack polyurethane (the good, birth defect and cancer causing stuff is still readily available here). Should outlast me easily.

Every 5 years.

5 years ago the council septic inspector told me he wouldn't pass the 50 year old concrete lids on my tank next time because gaps where bugs could get in. Went full ****** and threw a heap of steel at making replacements. He's due back in a month or so. **** than guy.

Dudes probably got a lot of kids he doesn't know about. :laughing:

Still legal in one state here (South Australia). My state banned it in 2003, neighbouring states in 2010/2011.

There's always been a few around from all three brands, but lately they're everywhere. I think it's because the price of all of the Japanese utes has gone through the roof, so it's less of a step up in price for the US trucks. The RH drive conversions are done here as soon as they roll off the...

Tonners were factory. From HQ - WB models they had coupe (Monaro), sedan, station wagon, panel van, ute, 1-tonner.
