What’s going on nowadays? Everyone is in a dmax, bt50 or np300, and they ALL have the same stupid chrome / silver rims and the mods are all copy and paste and they all look mediocre to ridiculous and don’t at all add to any of the off-road capability of these cars.

What happened? Don’t get me wrong I’ve seen many cycles of “popular” but atleast back in my day it had more variety and people actually built proper off road rigs.

Your dmax with the silver rims isn’t original, it’s what everyone does, it’s boring

Anyone here running or ran a petrol carbureted 4wd?

Suggestions and ideas on how to keep water away from my Carby, Ign coil, distributor and spark plugs. Not doing river crossings, just to stop the splashback from mud holes and wet tracks from affecting my truck.

Looking into building splash shields using sheet metal and that thin rubber stuff used in factory wheel wells on older trucks to keep water from splashing into the engine bay.

Help? 🤣

For reference i have a 1986 Nissan Navara 1.8L Petrol

G'day I got a stock suspension d22 Navara could I make it up blue rag track ? Recon I could just want some more opinions, also I would be going very late at night, recon it'd be safe?

Gday guys,

Got a 2009 NT diesel pajero with 320k kms as my first 4x4 a few months back after reading recommendations here and been loving it. After taking it for an initial service post purchase, I've been trying to budget for maintenance as records has been spotty after 22xk km.

Will be doing the intake manifold clean with valve clearances and top timing chain guide in December.

Should I plan to replace the injectors before they fail? Its still the original injectors and I saw folks recommend replacement at much earlier intervals than my current odo. Still drives normally though from what I can tell.
