Ive made this mistake before, following an unlifted ej22 MY down the beach...

Ok.. this is just my opinion but I have found Mud & Snow tyres to be great for dirt/mud driving but pretty useless on the beach. They tend to grab the sand (making great rooster tails) and flick it out and in such causing you to get bogged quicker :( I found that general highway tyres to be the bes...

Rusty coolant pipe, L series

I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and if so how they rectified it. I did do a search on a few forums, but could not find any info on this problem, so please excuse me if this has already been covered. On the right side block section of an EA82 there is a little steel water pi...
