Not sure 35s on an IFS vehicle is a great idea. Need to carry several spare control arms/CV joints for harder off-road use The vast majority of these, like Wranglers, Raptors, 4Runners, RAM Powerwagons and AEV Prospectors will never even see gravel. For all but the few who actually use them, the st...

Looks like the spare wheel bracket is sized against the bumper for the stock tyres. First thing anyone will do who wants to...

They can't sell Jeeps in Oz because of its reputation for poor reliability. The bigger issue with the Wrangler is it fails front corner impact tests (reproducing the most common accident). The Wrangler is the only one that rolled in the test - and it did it every time. Just flat out dangerous. I lin...

Really nice. The mod highlights what a great case the turtle has.

I agree, but they’d probably have a difficult time bringing something that primitive to market these days with the incredibly strict rules in Europe. Perhaps. That said, Suzuki has done a great job on the new Jimny, so its possible. https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/e553a33c-2019...

The Defender looks much better in the metal than the initial images that were released.

To me it feels closer to an iteration of the Discovery than to the Defender.

For example, this costs about the same, it’s smaller and is a full dive computer. https://www.suunto.com/Products/dive-computers-and-instruments/Suunto-D6i-Novo/Suunto-D6i-Novo-Stone/ Yeah, but then you'd have Suunto dive computer. Friends don't Suunto friends. :bootyshake: I don't dislike suunto, ...

I have wished for an analog Frogman as a back-up dive timer for a long time, as Casio digital readouts are too small. They finally do it and then put dual-time, what looks like a 24hr indicator, and 'tide' sub-dials on it? Surely elapsed dive time and max depth are just a little more relevant in a d...

G'day Mate!
How are you?
I have been looking for you for awhile!
Are you still in Fremantle way?

Hey, yup still in Freo :-)

Quite partial to the Oceanaire myself :-)

There have been tests done that show android phones doing location tracking even when you disable to feature and turn the phone completely off. Back in 2017. That has stopped. Not true, I tracked your location to that male strip joint last Thursday. :lol: But I only went cos I got their official DW...

I use a Corsair desktop gaming rig and have a HP laptop for work stuff.

Ocean-7. Never should have sold it.

Late to the party...but I'm a fan of the MM300. Mine has been relegated somewhat by my GS Diver, but it is definitely one of the iconic watches. It is super wearable on rubber. I recommend it on the BFK and Crafter straps. http://www.wellnet.com.au/pics/Seiko%20SBDX001%20GT%2015-09-2013%2000.jpg htt...

I know this is the "Lockdown Survival" thread and this isn't really on topic, but have any of you read about the doctors who are writing scripts for themselves and their families for that malaria drug? Apparently pharmacists are reporting the drug is now hard to keep in stock and lupis patients and...

Consider yourself corrected.

Ya know, I’m about as small government, leave me alone, small “l” libertarian as it gets. But my understanding of this streak of independence has always been based on an assumption. That people will voluntarily work together as needed when big problems present themselves. I’m re-evaluating a few ch...

Trumps latest approval rate on the handling of C19 must make you furious.

I've no interest in Trumps approval rating...though its hilarious to think he might have one.

some more good news: Hydroxychloroquine and a similar drug called chloroquine, which President Trump mentioned during a Thursday press briefing, are available for off-label use by U.S. health care workers. Off-label use means health care workers can use medications approved by the FDA for other rea...
