    Australia has just been promised the Surron Storm Bee.... claiming 60mile range and top speed of 65...then you read the range was calculated at a speed of 30mph.....like you said above...real world figures are pretty disappointing. I’ve got an Polaris Ranger EV for use around my farm.....it is...

    Hey Kiwimtnclimbr....sorry buddy. I haven’t seen Dave for ages until last Friday ....by coincidence. He still has the truck and uses it heavily. The box was built by MrShetmetal locally on the Sunny Coast. It’s pretty basic and has a pop top made using generic pop top alloy extrusions. Dave was...

    FG Single to Dual Cab

    You want to do what???? Dans suggestion is wise. Huge amount of to and money any other way. Also very easy to convert MWB to SWB if you really want to shorten it. Shorten the front end of the rear chassis rails by 600mm and remove the short front tail shaft. It'd be a fun little family truck...

    2013 ATW Mitsubishi 4x4 camper - For sale (Sunshine Coast)

    Hi Ben.... The truck interior turned out amazing. Looks like your house a bit. John showed a couple of pics on his phone. I like the way you described him as a woodsmith .... some of the jobs that guy does verge on art. I saw him today actually. I think he's filling in for one of our guys for a...

    Maximum fording capability

    That was Engineer speaking from experiences mainly on Cape York which is often worse than the beach... Cause you'll be driving for long period in high temps then come to a deep creek crossing and the hot diffs will suck water in. When we drive buses on the beach the diffs don't get as hot...

    Haha.... There you go. Crazy to cross Eli like that. That looks a lot worse than the creeks we hit. Eli flows 80m litres a day so you've also got the current to deal with there. There was an F250 swept out there a couple of years ago. What was left didn't look pretty on the tilt tray.

    An absolutely crazy day on the beach today. 2nd biggest tides of the year having to travel ********** on the top of the high. Made for some interesting creek crossings. Engineer is in the FTS. I cant imagine what Eli would have looked like at the same time. These pics are only 1st Creek and 2nd...
