Re: Jimny (older) urges are happening. What should I know?

I really like my Cherokee, it's as close as I've found to a do everything car. Power, size, weight, parts availability, easy to work on. They are getting a bit long in the tooth now thought and finding a clean one is very difficult, and whatever is available still requires some time spent on it. The...

Re: Trailer Build

you would be amazed at how cheap laser cutting is if you can provide them a CAD file of the part you need. I recently had a bunch of small brackets cut out of 10mm steel for $10ea with them supplying the material - usually works out cheaper than time/cutting discs/hole saws/material and is very accu...

AUSTRALIAN CERTIFIED breaking strength of 15,000kg so will be s...

If someone could please follow up at the meeting and get anyone else to committ by the end of the week so I can finalise numbers,...
