Re: Dull Headlight Lenses
Or have them polished to crystal clear and get a clear plastic film applied. CPP films like the 3M products. It is also "shock" adsorbent so will protect your headlights from cracks to a certain extent. I have one of my cars protected and it is amazing stuff. I had a piece of 2cm gravel th...

Re: Browne Davis Long Range Fuel Tanks
I've had a long range main tank from Northern Off-road fitted over two years ago and haven't had any issues - it has also taken a beating on the River Trip as it does hang a little low - there are a couple of dents in it now, but overall I am very happy and the range improvement is substantial. :th...

Re: Browne Davis Long Range Fuel Tanks
I see the Browne Davis is aluminium coated SS, not sure what the advantage is... They are not stainless steel. They are 2mm cold rolled aluminum coated steel. I am very seriously looking at this option for the Storm Trooper. I have looked extensively for local solutions and everyone has had problem...

At the time I dismissed it as a hole in the exhaust, after driving for 7 hours I was not interested in tracing a problem... get carava...

Re: Storm Trooper RGM supercharged 4.8
So the first bit of maintenance occured with the supercharger, well actually the waterpump for the charge cooler. It is a bosch item and I was led to believe you could not obtain them in S.A.... special order from Germany, etc. The brushes had worn out in it so I set about fabricating new brushes bu...
