Well after the extensive development of my HDJ81 and with a desire to spend more time in a vehicle exploring the world, I've come to very, very difficult decision that (we) need something bigger. More space, but equally as capable. This last requirement is almost an impossibility, as it is...

Howzit guys, Came back to my truck last evening to find this...! No CCTV and of course, the perpetrator didn't bother to leave their details. So does anyone have a lens for an 80 Left-side rear?

I've tried to find an old post of mine, (don't know the date) on this forum, but the old posts "storage" only seems to store the last 20 pages and no more. The search facility on here is useless, so I can't search for it effectively. Is there any way of accessing older posts that must be...
