    Anyone got an opinion on the 2021 Hilux? Good? Bad?

    They are an ok highway car for midgets however both the new hiluxs we have at work needed new steering racks and front driveshafts/CVS at the first service and having top control arms fall out isnt uncommon. Its got me stuffed why people buy them

    House solar panels

    I have a 13.5kw setup with 2 inverters. The install was done properly not just smashed together like most cheap systems. Cost just under $10k. Should be making totally free power after 3ish years

    I did really well at yowah last last year. Or at least I was very happy with what I found. There are more then enough fossicking areas that there is no need to poach. Definitely a spot I will go back to

    Is it cheaper to rent ?

    A mortgage is around 30-40% cheaper then renting where I live so after rates etc you are still ahead by buying. Plus as a bonus dont have to deal with POS property managers

    4WD front hubs

    My bush car doesnt have freewheeling hubs and has drive plates instead. Front diff is always turning at road speed, no issues caused and no reliability issues Like with driveshaft disconnects or freewheeling hubs.

    Camper Trailer Feedback

    I couldnt find anything that suited what I wanted so ended up building a teardrop camper. About the size of a box trailer to store and loaded with 120L water, generator, aircon etc is under 800kg. Strong enough to get dragged anywhere and completely water and dust proof. If you go a hard floor...
