first 4by

G'day everyone, Looking to start setting my dual cab 2014 Collie up to do some touring and a bit of 4 wheeling, and just wanted to see who else has one they've set up and what mods you recommend first specifically for the RG collies. Currently only has a ARB bar on it so nothing flash yet...

G'day all, So I've had my 2014 Collie for a month and a half now, haven't done any towing or offroading yet, but I've noticed that the engine bay is radiating a fair bit of heat after it's been running for a while. Even though the temp gauge has even climbed over half-way and usually sits at a...

Hey, this is my first post on the forum. I'm a 19 and am looking at buying my first 4wd for weekend adventures. I have found a petrol 80 series with 179,000km for $13,000. I was just wondering people's thoughts on this whether it's worth it or should I buy a newer ute (like a demax or triton) or...

G'day everyone, Finally got a set of wheels in a 2014 Colroado LTZ storm and am tossing up ideas for a camping set up. A canopy would be good but they cost a shit ton new and I've seen that Ozroo tub racks are sometimes less than half the price. I'm 185cm and the ute is only 178cm tall (stock...

G'day again after a long search process running through plenty of options, finally decided on and bought an FJ cruiser today! Can't wait to get out and about, 4x4 earth has gone a long way in helping me sort this out and told me where to look, couldn't have been any more useful! Might see some...

G'day guys, It's getting close to me getting my P plates (less than 2 months) and I'm hoping to have something before then. My budget is up to $7k for a car and then a few grand more for mods. I've seen a fair few 60 series' with the 2F carby in them and was wondering what were the thoughts on...

Just wondering what people's opinions are, I would like a cruiser as a first rig, preferably turbo diesel and manual, but with my budget (under $10k in South Australia), I can't seem to find any. Do see quite a few petty ones, but not many are manuals, mostly autos. Just wondering what peoples...

Hi all, I'm getting a 2nd gen 4Runner off a mate for a first rig, and am searching around for add-ons to put on it so I can take it offroad. Struggling to find things like bullbars and snorkels specifically for the 2nd gen 4Runner is Australia so I was wondering if add-ons for the Ln106 Hilux...

Hi all, Just wondering if you can do this or not? I'm looking at a few cars and they come with bullbars, but doesn't say they are winch bars (and can't see mounts). Just wanted to see what people think and what I have to do. Thanks, Hugh

Hi all, Since I get my P's later on this year, it's coming up to buying my own set of wheels. I've got roughly $6k all up and was wondering what everyones thoughts were. I probably can't have something little. (Sierra or Jimny) considering I'm only 16 and stand at 185cm and weigh in at 113kg...

Hi all, got my L's and am slowly getting closer to my p's, which means more freedom! I'm hoping to hit the tracks with my mates eventually and am looking around for my first 4wd. Currently got my eyes on a mint '89 60 Series GXL. bulletproof 2H, 5-speed box, 2 inch lift, dual battery, light bar...

Hey all, Since i'm close to getting a license, been on the lookout for cruisers. And i've seen a few 80 series with the 1fz-fe engine (4.5 twin-cam, roughly 211hp when new) and wanted to see what everyone thinks of them. It's got 320,000 on it and they're asking $4,999. Pretty much stock except...

Hi all, Been looking to get a 4runner, wanting a diesel but can't really find any good in my price range ($6000) so looking at the v6's now. Found a mint (perfect interior, no rust, no dents) '92 model with the 3.0 V6 (making roughly 140hp) and a five-speed manual, but it has just over 350,000...

Hi there, I've been looking around and seen quite a few 3.0 turbo diesel Gu patrol's in my price range (up to $6,000) and they look in decent shape. One I have found is a '01 with the five-speed manual and a few mods on it (decent 4wd tires, roof-rack, awning, high-lift jack) and 300k on the...

G'day all, I've been looking around for cars for a while, and found a decent one. This one is a 1993 Hilux with the 2.8 non-turbo diesel (yes, I know they're slow and I won't turbo it) and 5-speed manual. It's got 318,000K's and i know these things are bulletproof so the K's don't matter too...

Hi all, Found a decent looking Pathfinder with the 6-speed manual, 2.5 turbo diesel making around 128KW, decent tyres, 270K on the clock and for $7,250. Just wondering what they are like offroad, or if they can even be modified to go off the blacktop. And if so does anyone one know what would be...
