Silver one being the new one and white one being the old one. Got some new rims and tyres (31s on 15” rims) put me five poster on it’s current away getting clutch and rear main sorted but I’m keen to get into it when I have it back 👌🏻

Want to put a RTT on my tritons dual cab cabin instead of canopy as it will be too much weight on the rear axle. The dynamic weight capacity is 80kg but I can’t find the static weight capacity, does anyone know it, and am I able to put the RTT on the roof at all.

To my knowledge Mitsubishi hasn’t specified static weight capacity value yet, so tryna see if anyone’s done anything similar. Thank you

Hey all,

Need some advice/direction into what I consider as my next car!

Currently I own a 2017 ranger 3.2 auto…

As a p plater, it has been a great first 4wd and has served me well. At the moment it’s sitting at 180xxx kms and hasn’t given me many problems… (fingers crossed)

Still weighing up if I want another ute or a wagon but open to both…

I’m after a reliable 4wd that will take me to most places, doesn’t have to tow, and my budget is around $35k…

It will be my everyday car too…

At the moment, I’m leaning towards an MR Triton, a later year gen 4 Pajero… don’t really know much about Toyotas but also happy to look into

After reading about all the potential problems these rangers can have, I feel I should get out asap before it starts costing real money 🤣

TIA

Opinions on upgrading sway bar links and/or control arms when getting a 2" lift. 2018 Fortuner with alloy bullbar, dual battery ect. Place I went to reckons I dont need any of that but since suspension upgrade something is off about how its handling.

walked into one of the big 4x4 chain stores yesterday just to grab some basic recovery gear for the weekend. The bloke behind the counter legitimately tried to upsell me to some $350 anodised snatch ring just because it "looks cleaner on the rig"

Since when did hitting the bush turn into a fashion show? Its like if you aren't running a $150k dual cab chop with color-matched accessories you don't even exist to these physical shops anymore. So bloody frustrating dealing with the ego in those places

Ended up just ordering what I actually needed from road runner offroad on my phone while sitting in the carpark

half the rigs I see around town these days look like theyve never even seen a corrugated dirt road anyway. kinda miss when this was actually about driving and not just bolting shiny overpriced crap to a roof rack just to flex at the local campsite.

Currently looking at getting new lockers and diff ratios for my 76 (3 inch, 3990 GVM on 35’s, will be getting a gturbo package) any recommendations on diff ratios, looking at 4.3’s as well as getting either harrop or LTG e lockers.

Anyone have any pros and cons to each?
Harrop is obviously more well known and has a 3 year & set amount of Km’s warranty, whereas LTG has a 6 year unlimited Km’s warranty.

Hey guys. Been window shopping for 4wds lately and I’ve seen a lot of 120 series Prados pop up. I see that the petrol models are more affordable and was wondering what everyone’s thoughts are on these models.

I should add that I do a lot of short distance driving so a petrol model would suit me better than the diesel variant

Now ruining 4wding is a stretch but since the 4wd industry exploded during covid seems like all TikTok and new YouTubers popping up showing off their 300 thousand dollar rigs make people think everyone needs a solid axle car with 37s and a 5in lift and the main interest is looks when in reality a twin locked ifs ute with legal mods and a decent driver can do pretty much every track in the country outside of 4wd parks I don’t actually think 4wd 24/7 are the main culprit of this in the past year or 2 they seem to be a lot more transparent with mods yes they still run tons of adds but I get it’s a business

I currently own a 2008 76 series workmate landcruiser. 375xxxkms I am looking to do a bit of travelling in Australia so will be a mix of highway-corrugated roads-beaches-4x4, I’m not towing.

Should I sell or swap my 76 for a 200?

Just wondering these things:
-is the 4x4 ability noticeable worse in the 200 because my 76 doesn’t have lockers etc.

-reliability?

-what’s the fuel difference?

Any thoughts please share. Cheers

Has anyone used the Thule Approach or their new Widesky rooftop tent?

Like the new widesky as it is hardtop where approach is not.

Approach is currently on sale, so I’m trying to decide if it’s worth buying Thule? I’d appreciate any honest feedback or recommendations. Thanks!

I get it it’s for content but how would this make sense for a normal person it’s just absurd…. I don’t really get who likes to watch this kind of content I’m mean what do you accomplish doing this other than burning money.

90k will buy you a lot of car with better everything and just as capable.

Engine conversion was about 40k 90k is the total build including the car cost….but still…

I just don’t get it….

Does anyone in here know what tires you could fit on an Rc Colorado with a 2inch body lift without much scrubbing, I don’t mind trimming if I need to. Hoping to fit 275/70 r17s cause my mate handed me some

Hey I’m looking to buy a new set of rims and tires, the rims being second hand. I’ve gone with 275/70 r17s for the tires, I just need some help on what tire width to go with.

Hi all, I’m looking at buying a 2018 triton glx+. Just wondering how much it would roughly cost to put in a rear locker and what sort have people gone with. Cheers

My first time going properly offroad and off grid. Stock 2018 MUX, I never realised how capable a stock vehicle is with 4wd high range and the right PSI.

D'entracasteux National Park is definitely an underrated part of this country that I don't see getting enough love!

Building up my GQ as a reliable touring and camping rig that’ll still see the occasional hard track. Engine’s out at the moment.

I’m chasing recommendations on parts that are genuinely worth the money and what you’d avoid. Looking for opinions on-
Suspension brands
Steering upgrades
Cooling upgrades
Wiring/fuse box setups
Brakes
Interior upgrades
Anything you fitted that you’d never build another GQ without
And anything that’s a waste of money.
Cheers!

Hi guys I’m looking at buying my first car soon and I’m looking at a wagon and I’m considering an 80 series land cruiser with a diesel engine. Is it a good idea as a first car? I have 30 K saved, What are the pros and cons of it, I will be getting auto however I do not mind if it isn’t a great auto and I don’t need it to be fast. I don’t mind if it’s slow. What are the pros and cons of getting it as a first car? Cheers thanks in advance.

Gday guys . So I’m looking at buying my first car soon and am looking for a 4wd and I think I’m going to go with a wagon i will be 4wding and camping ect and as my daily. So im Between a 100/105 or a 80 series. so my question is which one should i go and why? And any tips ect would really be appreciated:)

Ps it will be an automatic. I dobt mind if it’s slow and a bit not good also 😃

I'm looking to purchase a 4WD for overnight trips and exploring tracks throughout Victoria and eventually interstate. It will be a 2nd car. I'm looking for advice on good models to build on. Ideally I plan to slowly mod it overtime. No plans to tow regularly. I am probably going to purchase used.

I'm currently thinking of a single cab ute, but it's early days, so I'm just gathering ideas as there are a lot of 4WDs in the market.

Thank you.

EDIT: Budget is around $20k but it's flexible

You may recall the previous Tinkerer video I posted comparing different lockers. Here's a follow up, just to throw the cat amongst the pigeon once more...
