Nice kit but it can be done much cheaper. All you really need is a 8mm fuel line, and not necessarily one for injection engines. This stuff costs something like $2 per meter at supercheap or repco. I...

The circumference of the tyre doesn't change, but the radius does. If you let enough air out of a 33" tyre to lower the axle by 1/2", the 1km distance requires 391 revolutions rather than 380 - and...

Training is not only about driving techniques and recovery, but also about what may go wrong and how to minimize the risks. By going offroad without it you are putting at risk not only yourself, but...

I have noticed that AC is radically more effective when air circulation is on. Makes much bigger difference than in other cars.

The AEV swingaway mounts straight to the chassis and can be purchased separately - if I remember correctly the price is below $1000.

Note that at full turn your front tyres will reach 1.5" further as well. Even if the tyres are not wider, you may have issues with swaybars. In my opinion for 35s offset wheels are a must.

Are you sure the Chime buster can help? I have one and from what I can gather all it does is fool the computer that the driver door is locked. Have I missed something?

Tried to call a couple of dealers in the area and got the same story from them: we don't stock these, need to get them from overseas, will be a month at least.
