  1. Australian 4x4 racing has had mandatory helmets for the last 3 years since i've been into into it - but Aus racing seems vastly different (more high speed stuff) check out the Cross Country Drivers Association (CCDA www.ccda.org.au) for info on our Cages. If it is not to the required spec or hasn't been certified you don't race. Just another bit of info that could be modified for your use. Cheers Dave.
  2. http://www.intercotire.com/site33.php Q78's in 15 and 16 inch rim sizes. I have found that my swampers feel worse (steering and braking) than a set of simex I borrowed from mate. The simex were noisier but handled and did steer far better. The swampers seem to slide and understeer more when you take a corner a bit to fast. Most guys over in Aus tend to run Simex, but there as many who have tried all and fall back to running swampers. This is just in my experience. Dave.
  3. The Krawler is a very tuff tyre and has done well in many Oz comps to date. A mate who runs this tyre in a 35inchis is happy with them, is not overly impressed with how they work and steer in deep mud and clay (he much prefers simex for this). Otherwise these are an awesome tyre for eveything else and seem to wear very well. Other tyre to look at is Q78 Super Swamper. Not a great tyre to drive on, but they do work well on all surfaces, and tend to be a very tyre. They are also an ideal size (35.5 x 11) and suit a LR very well. Dave.
  4. So how quick is this thing compared to running 24V through a highmount? This is what I am doing as its cheap and I already have brackets for the 2nd alternator, plus I can run some cool 24Volt spoghtlights
  5. Heres mine - I smashed the Safari one so I made this instead. Now having 2nd opinions about the metal as once its bent - its bent and very restrictive. Just 3'' exhaust pipe with mandrel bends cut to suit and the safari head Dave.
  6. That may have been a few years ago, but from last years its stepped up a few levels - ie lots with all custom suspension with either coilovers or triple bypass shocks or both More power - some are now running Supercharged LS1's 290+ rwKW, turbo diesels 220+rwKWs, turbo 6's with 250+rwKW and all $$$ Best seem to have well sorted and bullet proof driveline / suspension, reasonable power and an otherwise simple truck with not much to go wrong. Also a Light truck - weight is a bit issue. Tuff event - we will either be spectating or entered next year Dave.
