That’s a simple and awesome addition Silverbullet!

I can see the design “getting out of hand” - v2… like the Ute swag or the SS torana hatchback tent

Keep us posted how it goes. I hope the magnets are strong enough for a decent bit of wind when necessary.

Saturday 22nd of Feb, I threw my hat in the ring at the Shamrock Hotel’s shittest ute competition. First year it was held. I wanted to win but didn’t at the same time. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/800x600q70/922/NEzKyf.jpg Apparently ten utes entered, I only saw nine. There were three B&S comm...

Awesome trip Sam! It’s been close to a decade since I last visited Robe and Beachport :sad: That’s a serious tick on that blue tongue. Poor thing, glad you guys found it! Ooh, a move to Mt Gambier area would be cool. There’s a hogh possibility of doing some joint 4wd trips up and down the SA/Vic bor...

Sounds like you might have a loose connection under the dashboard somewhere.

Dash board or instrument cluster been out before/recently?

Brumby sorted Friday last week. Stoked! Drives well now! Took it out last night to photograph the Aurora Australis and was not disappointed. Brumby became the subject, whoops! Not sorry though. Didn’t pack a torch so the phone torch was used to fill in the brumby. Central Vic, 10:50-12:30am. Pretty ...

How do you go about removing the glue after you complete your dent pulling? Hopefully it’s an easy task removing that glue.

Looking forward to some before and after pics!

G’day Tezbo, If you have a dead ignition module, replace your coil too. A dead coil will take out the ignition module too. Ask me how I know… As for testing it, I’m unsure about that. The Haynes manual might give some insight or a Google search is the other option before enlisting an auto sparky - a...

Yep rack end was cactus once it was fitted. It applies too much pressure on the ball joint in the rack end. Still waiting, not worried or pissed off, I know the mechanic’s it’s at drop everything for someone in need - they’re located on a busy intersection and seem to get a lot of business from cars...

Last year, late November I fitted new ball joints, tie rod ends and rack ends. I finally got two new tyres and an alignment booked in for today. I hadn’t driven the brumby since the initial drive after all the work - alignment was WAY out, tyres were cactus so didn’t bother trying to fix it, just le...

Neat work as always Bantum.

I’m keen to see the wrap you go with!

Trip to Japan - sick! That’s one country of two that I’m keen to visit at some point!
Sounds like you had a wicked time with a white Christmas too

It won’t be a fun exercise that’s for sure. This could be where U pullit becomes your friend for sourcing the inner cups and matching races. At least you’ll be able to pull them apart and count the splines before buying them. I hope they work out for you. If you can work out the diff spline swap it ...

Anything EJ that fits on the end of your MY shaft will net you an inner CV cup with 25 spline count. Getting the spline for the ball race and cage correct for your shafts is the painful bit. If there’s a shaft builder joint near you it could be worth the shot talking to them about what you need. Or ...

MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone. Another year almost done - and an action packed one again!

I hope you all enjoyed Christmas with friends, family or doing what you love doing!

That’s neat mate! I didn’t know the 3D printers could print urethane - I’ll have to look into this! Bantum made some on thingiverse ages ago. I printed some in my early days (about 9 months ago :lol: ) but never fitted them. The piece of Subarino’s garden hose I fitted back in 2016 is still doing th...

There really aren’t any - none as good as genuine OEM. No one wants to pay OEM prices though either! So far Repco drive shafts seem to work pretty good for the most part. I have two on the front of the brumby, probably have 20,000km on them. I replaced a boot recently as it was spraying grease every...

Correct about the body lift not changing cv angles. Stock springs should bring this back to a normal angle. What boots are you using? Subarino recommends stretchy boots as he’s experiencing good results with this style of boot. They’re available on his new online store ;) ;) The wheel size will lift...

Sounds about right for a Weber! I’d stick with the factory carby and do a good overhaul on it - maybe even rejet it. From memory Willy Fisterbottom did a write up about resetting the hitachi carb for better performance. As for the CV boots, that lift combo would look awesome but would certainly chew...

G’day Geefish, which steel wheels are you after? There’s the dull steel rims that aren’t real dressy and good for hub caps. Then there’s the 8 spoke Sunraysia rims. Painted white from the factory. There are two version of these - early ones that came on the brumby that won’t clear the L series calip...

^ totally agree with both of you above! I typically carry out more rubbish than what I bring in with me in the form of packaging and food that end up as scraps. Last big item I took out was a fold up table - the ones with the white plastic top - from a campsite in the Blue Mountains. This place was ...
