[baby_troupe]

Just thought I'd give tyhis a bump to the top so some of the new members get to see us & maybe post some of their pics. ;D

[bbushy]

keeping in mind that i am blonde ;D, teach me how to do this guys, please

[baby_troupe]

This is what I have been PMing people who ask,

What I do to post a pic, is as follows (pretty simple stuff once you get used to it)
Before you start, you will need to get your picture(s) hosted on a website somewhere & be able to view those files through the internet.
1, Find the URL of a picture.
What I do to get this is find a pic, right click on it & select properties. The full url path will be shown.
Click & drag over this (including the http part) & once the full path is hightlighted, right click again & select copy.
2, Put the link into your message
You can do this by right clicking on the text part of the screen (where you can type) & select paste.
3, Now you want to make the url into a picture.
Click & drag over the full url path you have just pasted in, highlighting it.
Then click on the http://www.4wdmonthly.com.au/forum/YaBBImages/img.gif button.

To test it, click on Preview.

[bbushy]

k, ta
ill try it!

[alki]

half an hour later,still waiting ;D

[baby_troupe]

Camera must have broken, or the site she is trying to post to has crashed. ;D

[bbushy]

sorry guys i didn't think you cared! My photos are on a site that has decided to keep the albums but delete all the pitcures so i'm waiting for a guy to call me back about it, but i've got all the photos of round 2 (after 4wdmonthly, of course), which someone wanted to see but can't access any of them.
I'm working on it!!!
Pat will have some somewhere (being the editor and all)!

If people can only see little boxes above with a red 'x' in them instead of the pictures, then they'll have to right click on it, select 'properties', highlight the URL, copy it and paste it into their browser's address bar.

Hey BT

Tell me more about your rig. I picked up on the fact that it is a pre-import model and hence not to common in Aus but you where saying it is running similar stuff to the Bundera and hence the 75series stuff tends to bolt up.... Talk to me.... is this the case...... if so ilike it in a big way. Comfort of the prado yet tuff as all hell like the 75!!!!!


GOOOOSSSSTTTUUUFFFFF MMMAAAAATTTTEEEEEYYYYY

[BigBugga]

[grungle99]

[lewy110]

[BigBugga]

nope
the path is blocked

[lewy110]

http://www.geocities.com/rijidijau/muddy_lewy.jpg
I think i worked it out

[grungle99]

Nice Rig Lewy!!!


Mine is seen on Page two of the thread.

I Absolutely love the 110 County's. - Checked out your www. looks great to see the 110's.

Will try to get some more piccies of mine and get them posted.

Cheers

Grungle

[lewy110]

i saw yours on there, nice. Countys are much better than those pretenders. I am still saving for twin maxi drives but will have them one day

[baby_troupe]

Looks liek one of those sites that doesn't like hot linking

[alki]

What is that thing on top of left hand fender(looks like snorkel ram)

BTW
Is that bbushy's or lewy's

[Rocky]

:P
I think i worked it out


Here ya go mate - I uploaded it to my server for ya. Geocities won't let you link images like that :)

THIS IS lewy110'S VEHICLE :)
http://home.iprimus.com.au/psychocat/muddy_lewy.jpg

[BigBugga]

nice and muddy

Just how is should be

Good rig ;D

[lewy110]

The thing on the top of the left hand fender is to get some air in to the dashboard vents because I've got the crap factory aircon that gets rid of the hinged vents under the windscreen

[grungle99]

Same problem in my truck!!!

Notice on my piccies I have smaller rams - with one on each side for balance ;D.


Worst thing ever done was remove the vents!!!!

[lewy110]

Its next to impossible to find a oneten that has the vents, after 87 I think they all came with the factory aircon standard

[grungle99]

Thought about getting a couple of the older style landy roof vents and mount above the front seats. Not sure about looks but will ram some air into the cab.

Being boxy they tend to steam up quickly - especially in the snow and cold weather.


Have you have any dramas with the heater? I think my valve switch is stuffed. Need to check all this out.

Will probably drop you some piccies on your email.

Cheers

Grungle

[lewy110]

My heater is very ordinary. I have a seperate tap on the heater line to turn it off in summer and in winter I turn my air ram around and remove the carpets to use all that warmth that comes through the floor. My windows only fog up if the inside of the car is wet, which is whenever it rains.

emailing some pics sounds like a good idea

[Bikie]

Hey guy's this is my 89 Turbo diesel patrol, with my normal street wheels on.

anyways, site is: http://www.geocities.com/scruballz2003/page1.html

you'll see the truck there..

[grungle99]

Hey Lachie - I feel a www page coming on!!!!!


Quick bit of advise before you build it to big - name your main page Index.htm - This is the www default and then you don't need to type http://www.geocities.com/scruballz2003/page1.html but only http://www.geocities.com/scruballz2003

Bring it on - I love seeing other peoples www sites.


BTW it worked on your machine as your machine had it cached up. Clear your cache and then have a look!!!

[baby_troupe]

hi guys got the photo in the computer how do i get it to post reply (the photo is b m p )

Good idea to convert to a jpg file first, as it will take less time then to upload for youself & less time for other to download.
Then you can post the pic to www.offroader.com.au/overlander (http://www.offroader.com.au/overlander)
After that there are instructions in this thread on how to link the pic for viewing here.

[The BN Guy]

Guts you have an incredible rig! I've been debating on what to do to the front of mine. Either ARB, Calmini, or having a custom one similar to yours. Can you post anymore shots of the front? I'm still quite interested in that style but would like some rub bars down the side.

Thanks,
Patrick

ok......... i found this thread and thought i would join in ;D
As the name says...... i have a rodeo... it's nothing special..... bare bone off-roading, has vinyl flooring and no CD player :-[ still in the process of getting some gear together. It doesn't add up much against some of the rigs in this thread... but it's mine (well... the banks until i pay for it) and i like it ;D and i think it handles the off-road rather well even if it needs an extra 3 inches underneath. Muddies are the next aquisition when Santa Claus has finished killing my credit card >:(

[Fenring]

I've got pics of my rig here, just don't know how to get them on.....Any advice?? ???

[baby_troupe]

Get them hosted on a site
Then link them up (instructions are in the first few pages of this thread)

A good site to get your pics hosted is www.offroader.com.au/overlander

Fenring, email them to me and i will glady upload them to my web server.... you can link from there 8) my email address is in my profile..... or do as BT said :) the choice is yours

[Fenring]

This will probably be a balls up as I don't really have a clue, but here we go anyway. :-[

[Fenring]

Oh what the heck.....

Me and my best mate...My Truck ::)

http://www.offroad.au.com/overlander/Datsun180B%202.jpg

This bottom one was taken at the Top of Mt Yengo, with a 35mm film, and no photo manipulation what so ever has been done to the shot.

Some quality loss has occurred here via the scanner, though I have it blown up and framed at 18”x24” and it looks unbelievable…..

http://www.offroad.au.com/overlander/Extacy.JPG

A little bit of editing Wilsey and it would look even better ;D

[zook37]

These are a couple of shots of the pride and joy. Took these on a quite day at work (namely today) Now that I have worked out how to use the digital camera properly, I'll have some dirty pics shortly (no, not the naked missus kind)

Were you referring to my zook? She ain't new mate, it's 4 years old.
Lift kit and bigger tyres hopefully under mine by July. Then the sky's the limit ;D

Cool Looking car 8)

Looks a bit like mine :P

http://www.offroad.au.com/overlander/Suzuki%201.jpg

I was havin a close look at a Grand Vitara in the carpark at Woolies today...... very nice looking rides :)

[zook37]

Never driven a 4cyl so I can't speak for them but the V6 goes like the clappers for a 2.5litre.
They are lots of fun to drive on and off road too. :)

Well, the 2.0 litre auto goes pretty good.

It certainly is faster than my 4.5 up until about 80 kph, then the GU flies past ;D

[zook37]

How's the auto shift feel in the vitara's? we considered one but ended up
opting for the manual. :)

Actually, Very impressive, very smooth.

That was the reason we went for the auto because it was so well geared to extract the best out of the 2.0 litre motor.

We were tossing up on which one to choose, the 4, or the V6, but decided to go the four and get alloy wheels, it was both the same cost.

[Wilesy]

One thin though,

It isn't very fuel efficient...

12-14 litres per 100 kilometres....not that good I think.

[zook37]

Does seem a little thirsty. Mine generally averages 12 - 14 around town
and 10 - 12L per 100 highway.

[Wilesy]

Doesn't seem right does it >:(

My Ti Patrol lugging 2.5 tonne running dual air and auto averages around town 18, and the little suzuki gets 14.....

Not a lot of difference considering the huge size and weight difference, sort of makes the Patrol look fuel efficient...

i can get about 600 clicks out of a 59 litre tank in mine.... i think it works out to about 9 litres per 100k I have never worked it out exactly.... i know it costs 35 bux to fill and i can get nearly 2 weeks just drivin around town without any highway driving. Better than the Commodore hehe that was 20 bux worth of juice every 3 days :-X of course it didn't help they way i drove it ;D

[zook37]

Sounds like my previous car, good ol Falcon s pack 5 sp manual. Bright red. ;D
We can't let the cobwebs build up after all now can we? ;)

[Wilesy]

Geez,

I spend over $200.00 a week on petrol... >:(

Oh well, who cares when you have fun.

I went out today and did a bit of 4bying myself 8)

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/wilesy/aab.sized.jpg

[zook37]

These days with the vitara I chew up about $60.00 a week, I tend to do a lot of driving around on my days off durig the week looking for the good spots to surf etc. But geez Wilesy, $200.00 is a lot to spent on fuel mate. You must do a bit of trekkin around day to day. :o

[zook37]

gee, what does it take to lose newbie status, thought it was 150 posts?

[zook37]

woo hoo, there we go... ;D

[Wilesy]

Yep ;D

I do about 200 klm's a day... ::)

Today we went out treckin, filled up for $121.00 this morning with premium uleaded and got home tonight with the fuel light on >:(

[Wilesy]

I also thought because all of us are sitting here in front of the PC...I would give you this pic of what we were doing today......

I was waiting for the Quad to be loaded on the trailer 8)

http://www.4wdlinks.com.au/albums/wilesy/aad.sized.jpg

i went out playin yesterday (Sunday 1st Feb) took a few pics, found a great track!! and had a blast!! even got bogged up to the axles!! and i managed to get out ;D shouldn't have got bogged at all, 'cept when i locked my hubs in at the Dingo Gate, one of them didn't lock and left me without a working front diff.... so i only had 2WD.... didn't find the problem until we pulled over for lunch and pulled the hub locks off to see what the hell was going on.

Not bad for stock standard suspension :)

looks like a bit of fun, i was readin an article in one of the gold labels, said some thin like if your bogged first thing to check is the hubs then turn the wheels side to side , try to reverse out an so on. an i thought the checkin the hubs thing was a bit of a laugh. wel there ya go, happens to the best of us lmao

that was the first thing i checked :-X hubs showed they were locked..... turned the wheel from side to side..... nuffin!! :-[ it wasn't until i pulled the hub lock off and turned it a few times that i realised it wasn't locking.... it is now!! ;D

[zook37]

Landing was beautiful, it was soft sand that I had just pulled a mate out of, the camera was out because he bogged it so badly, it was comical watching a hilux tryin to drag GU Nissan bogged to the axles in sand. Snatchin was like one of those things at show's that you run against the elastic band and it drags you back in the air ;D. ended up dragging him backwards down the dune to let gravity help. By the time I had him out I was at the bottom of a sweet dune and his missus was up top with a camera, was just a photo opportunity, I'm normally more cautious on the beach after seeing a friend take a nasty stack off the edge of a dune once.

Snorkel??? :-\


whatdo you mean, snorkel???,?. A snorkel stops the engine from sucking in water by raising the air intake to the roof. IF water gets in the engine, bye bye!

Hilux, in which photo is the roof under the water??????
