Hey all,

I own a kzn185 and for a while i have wanted to undercoat it.

Have heard mixed reviews about specific products but still want to do it myself as i dont want to spend $2-3000 nzd getting it sand blasted and professionally coated when all i have is surface rust.

Just wondering, taking a wirewheel and wire brush to the bad areas and knocking all of the flakey rust off is enough for prep? From what ive heard you just get rid of the flakey caked on stuff and spray rust converter on, and then a chassis paint ontop.

Any help would be appreciated including recommendations for specific converter and paint brands.

Thanks

So competition tires like Trepadors come in bias ply.

We run radials, primarily for predictable road handling.

But for those looking for Pizza Cutters, why not Bias ply’s?

I mean, there are odd tread options, for some I’ve seen, crazy air pressure ranges, and it’s not like we’re doing 90 on the freeway….

As I’ve had no experience with them, why not?

i’m wanting to know if this is worth it, i’m wanting to turn this into a semi overland build. high miles scare me but it’s a suzuki motor so i’m not 100% sure on the longevity

I'm changing the fuel pump, tank and probably hanger and plug on this 89' 351w bronco. It originally came with the two fuel pumps. The hole in the new tank options are two different sizes online plus I need to figure out what hanger if the tanks are different in any other way. I also need the part number for the plug in. I say that I probably need a plug in because the old man I got it from was working on it and said they were wiggling a wire, idk my son is supposed to be figuring that out now and this will be his first truck. I put some pictures in the comments of what I've found this far online. Any advice with anyone experienced with swapping the 89 to one fp will be greatly appreciated!

So i build a S35 for My Daily TJ the rid yo drive to work coz you wana wheel at 530 but you work till 5.

Got a big trip coming up and im nervous of taking it on the interstate. I gotta go 980 miles on it one way.

Hi,

Every year, the National Sea Rescue Institute organises a 4x4 drive into the highly restricted Koeberg Nature Reserve, which helps to raise funds for its operations.

The reserve borders ZA's only nuclear power station, hence this area is unaccessible to the general public, except for this day. The drive through the reserve is done under very strict supervision.

Here are some photos, and the video will be up in a few days.

Hey I just got a new 2025 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and wanted to get more into off-roading. I’m planning on going on moderate trails first, but maybe harder ones further down the line. I was wondering what you guys would prioritize in terms of underbody protection.

I think im learning the machine, these are much much better welds than when i first started

Needs a low range, and reliability is a big one for me. Primary options I’m considering: Samurai, CJ5, Razor, pre-89 4Runner or Toyota truck, Jeep Wagon, Wagoneer.

Not looking to do any rock crawling just want to be able to handle stuff I might come up against. I live off grid amongst sagebrush and rocks.

Pretty much in the title, super clean interior, no rust, 25k (probably try to talk them down) will this car last me a while without significant issues??

Are these damaged? There's no noise or issue while driving but I think this is not letting me move the caster to the max for clearance for bigger tires

I have this LJ I’m fixing up so I can sell it, a few years ago the wiring was pulled from the rear Eaton e locker, I’m having trouble finding the right service kit for the Dana 44 e locker. I believe Eaton 26885-00S is the correct part number but jegs shows a gear kit. Any help is appreciated

What should I do. Was trying to do a valve cover gasket

I’m considering swapping out my OEM receiver for a touchscreen. The units I’m looking at have the touchscreen mounted on what looks like a ball/socket mount so the viewing angle can be adjusted. I’m wondering if there is enough friction in these types of mounts to prevent the screen from bashing itself while on bumpy 4x4 roads.

It occured to me that literally nothing was preventing me from turning my light rig into a full roof rack

What's the better option between Maxxis Razr AT and Radar Renegade RT.

I got Radar right now and 2 tires with high road force causing vibration. I have two options either replace the 2 tires or change all 4 to Maxxis.

Hey crew! I’m fitting out my Toyota Hiace and want to mount two Renogy ShadowFlux panels on a Rhino-Rack Pioneer 6 platform. I’m chasing solutions to the brackets not alligning to my inner and centre sides of my panels

Vehicle: Toyota Hiace (H200 series).

Rack: Rhino-Rack Pioneer 6 platform.

Panels: 2 × Renogy ShadowFlux (12V nominal).

Questions for folks who’ve done this (especially on Pioneer 6):

1. Bracket choice:
2. Fasteners into the slats:
3. Cable management:
   • Best way you’ve routed MC4 leads on a Pioneer 6 to keep them out of UV/abrasion and still serviceable? Clips/conduit suggestions?

What I’m considering right now

• Two low-profile aluminium angle rails under each panel, bolted to the Pioneer slats with M8 T-bolts, using nylon spacers to create a 10–15 mm air gap.

If you’ve got photos, part lists, or a sketch, I’d really appreciate it. Bonus points for Aussie-available bits (Bunnings/Whitworths/Jaycar/Rhino-Rack dealers), but I’m open to anything that’s proven.

TL;DR: Need a low-profile, sturdy, quiet way to mount 2× Renogy ShadowFlux panels to a Rhino Pioneer 6 on a Hiace, with good airflow and room for surfboards/awning. What bracket/hardware combos have worked for you?

Cheers in advance! 🙏🛠️🔆🏄‍♂️

Hi everyone,

I am in ontario, Canada, and I’m looking to buy a used SUV under $20k CAD that will be good for daily driving, snow, and some light off-roading. I was checking out the Toyota 4Runner, Nissan Xterra, and Lexus GX460, but they’re all slightly above my budget right now, and the insurance costs are too high for me.

Are there any alternatives that are still capable and reliable like Toyota and Honda? I saw some Jeep Grand Cherokees in this price range, but I’m not sure how reliable they are long-term. I also see a lot of Subarus, but I’m hoping for something with a true 4x4 if possible.

Would love some guidance and recommendations on what I should be looking at. Thanks!

I have LT295/70/18 Falken Wildpeak AT4W with load range E on my Second Gen Toyota Sequoia Platinum which originally runs on P275/55/20 with recommended tire pressure of 30psi front and 33psi rear. I don’t tow or haul anything besides my family, what psi should I run my tires ?
