Why do you say that Karl? BTW I cant remember how you mounted yours, didn't you also go for fully external?

@nick_the_fish that sounds interesting, I hadn't considered a completely external install. Do you have any pictures of your setup? @Andy that's exactly what I had in mind! I like how youve handled the exhaust. Easily accessible for when you need to make it watertight. Could I ask where you...

After my first experience of camping with a diesel air heater I’ve decided that this is one mod worth making permanent! Waking up in warm air is just next level comfort but my current setup is just too bulky (consuming two wolf boxes) and apparently too noisy for those sensitive light sleeping...

+1 thanks to @StarCruiser for the detailed pics and procedure. My speedo also failed and after checking the VSS and cable this was the last place to look! My track was broken in a completely different place as you can see in the picture but after adding in a bridge its back to full working order.

I agree, that was very well described and quite informative... not so sure about his welded washer solution though.

i'll have first dibs on that!

yep its a 35mm, I replaced the ring terminal on my -ve cable a little while ago.

Awesome to see everyone and thank you to @Trevor for organising another fantastic meet. One pic from the weekend, a herd of cruisers grazing in their natural habitat.

That is one stunning garden... either you're a magician at Photoshop or you truly have a gift for the green stuff.. :clap:

Thats does sounds like the whole street is using your connection! We consume most of our media online and average about 1Tb a month if you extrapolate the numbers below.

looking good there andy! Just a quick word of advice, I found that the catches on mine have a tendency to pop open so I used a couple of cheap carabiners to them in place. I believe the positive pressure helps the rubber seal keep the weather out, not that you'll need it with the weather we're...

Tayna batteries are pretty good as well. Picked up a Varta G7 and G8 from them last year.

Evening all, up for sale are my trusty Front Runner medium length drawers (840 x 940 x 332), product code SSDR005. Included in the sale are two internal dividers per drawer, wing mounting kit, 4 turnbuckles for securing these to your load bed and 4 tie down rings which are very useful for...

looks mint, I wish my paint work looked as good as that!

Had a mooch in the garage over lunch and I found one of those lying around... cut and crimped on a new terminal and it all looks good now. The 12VP clamp does seem pretty solid, time will tell. Thanks folks.

This one? https://www.roughtrax4x4.com/genuine-toyota-negative-battery-terminal-clamp.html

Morning folks, while trying to diagnose a charging issue on my 80 I discovered the DS negative terminal clamp was badly cracked, and needs replacing. I would like to replace this with a clamp that provides additional posts for adding accessories. My questions are: Has anyone replaced the OEM...

@fbnss ?

I meant your rating - missed you gave it a 7/10

sounds like a good read - times rating out of 5?

That is interesting, just googled HF air compressors and you're right, they look identical, right down to the HF branded carling switch!

My Rev Power battery certainly does not like being cold for very long. Took this photo on a frosty winter morning where the overnight temp was sub zero but nothing like -10 or -20. Apologies for the glare, but the message reads "Output battery under temperature fault". The battery happily came...

Late to the party but @StarCruiser did something similar by adding an Anderson socket to the upper tailgate recess. I'll see if I can find the thread but I though it was a clever way of getting power to the roof as the hole is in a relatively sheltered spot and the patch lead mesns it's not...

Looks that way, I am surprised at the price difference though. The RRP on Arbil is £413 and the cheapest CMK I could find was £358 from flatdog. Thats still £40 more expensive than the DA version I just bought from Island 4x4. And then there are the other web-stores selling the CMK for well...

Cummon Mick, you know I'm allergic to physical exercise!

Thanks for the advice Chris, I intend to mount the compressor inside the cabin, possibly under the drivers seat or in one of the rear quarters which is dead space at them moment.

I think youre right! So I looked up britpart and they are an ARB stockist. Their website shows the full range of ARB products but with their own DA references. To me that means they are the same unit. Interesting life lesson there, if you want to find the cheapest products on the market...

I couldn't find a single reference to the DA4985 on ARBs website or product catalogue.... but punch that model number into google and there are plenty of UK webstore results at comparatively bargain prices. Thought I'd ask here before buying the cheaper one and ending up with just an empty...

Evening all, so I've been searching the web for the best price on ARB dual compressor and have found two model numbers for what look like the exact same unit. The specs and items included with the kit look identical to me but the DA4985 is significantly cheaper (reference links below). Does...

Finally!!!...welcome to the club Mick! As I'm sure you'll find in your own time, there are some wonderful folks here who are full of advice, support and always up for the occasional beer... speaking of which, you owe me at least one for saving you from a LR :)

ooo shinny! Might be a good idea to start a list of takers like @StarCruiser did for the gullwings

hahaha... that must have been an entertaining 10 minutes :) I checked the sunroof drains last night which were clear, and the door rubbers seem to seal well.

Thanks Dervis I'll check over the rubbers and see if that makes a difference

Over the weekend I noticed an unreasonable amount of condensation inside the truck and thought I might be suffering from the dreaded windscreen water leak so naturally decided to looking under the passenger side carpet which revealed enough water in the cable channel to fill a small pool. After...
