No, its vertical, up against the firewall. midway up.

Modern wiring looms have so fricken many connectors where water can get in, and all the electronics are so fickle to resistance changes that...

Still Summer down your way??

14 degrees and sunny:thumbsup::D:D

Diff locks just mean you get a few more meters before you get stuck. You are now MUCH more stuck than before you locked the diff:omg:

I'm not sure a snorkle on a modern wagon is all that useful....

There are quite a few Engineers around the world saying that hot V's are not a recipe for engine longevity, no matter what the displacement.

A mate has one of these. Has about 200K's on it. Tows a tandem trailer with three quads on it up the Taihape deviation at well beyond the open road speed limit. An absolute weapon, and very...

Agree.

To put our 10.9L/100km fuel consumption into perspective, the Patrol is completely cleanskin with standard highway tyres on. The boat and trailer combined weigh 500kg, and all the camping...

Spent the month of March down on the SI west coast with the boat in tow. Kept an eye on all fill ups and kms done. The Patrol's big ol lazy 4.2 TD with 530,000km on the clock returned 10.9L/100km...

It needs to be earthed.

I would buy Coopers if the bloody local agent would answer the bloody phone or reply to bloody messages left on their answerphone:omg:

Pines completely blot out all flight lines for ducks . I have a pond surrounded on three sides with 30m tall gums, and the ducks fly through them quite happily, cause they can see through them and...

"What?"

Yeay, pissy little earplugs. With the backblast of the brake washing over his cheek.

Its a very American thing to not use decent ear protection. Its all about the 'look'.

We used...

There's several youtubes of dudes who have walked the entire island. Go look them up

I'd agree. Once you are off public roads I would argue that you are no longer 'transporting' said rifle, but are now 'hunting' from the motorbike. Locks etc go out the window once in hunting mode. I...

Having just returned from a months holiday on the coast I can vouch that Hoki has a lot more going for it than just better weather than Rotorua :thumbsup:

The media never let the truth of West coast weather get in the way of a good story. Here's a local Franz Josef resident on the news this morning: "“At the moment it’s just consistently drizzly,...

Was there a fortnight ago. They now have the worlds largest stopbanks erected. Will be interesting to see how they fared.

Solar in @ max 400 watts is pathetic. (then I see the CC is 30 amp...go figure)

A fridge/freezer will consume 1, more usually 2 kw per day.

400 watt panel would need three-six hours of...

Excellent writeup!

from what you have described, catching up with him could have been less of a triumph than the memories you will have from all those hours stalking right 'on the edge'. Well done.

I have an old ammo pouch on a belt that carries those exact same items: A folding silky saw, a pair of leather gloves and a pair of secateurs. Handles 90% of track trimming. If track making, the...

Not allowed out for the roar.....

Firepower displays in the desert in Waiouru: belts of tracer show that bullets hitting hard surfaces even a km away can indeed circle back at you. Quite spooky watching these fireflies floating back...

In the areas I hunt they come down from their high summer feeding grounds and gravitate to where the girls hang out, in the wide valleys and mid level benches. There will always be the outliers, but...

They are bit like cows: pretty robust units, so when they do go downhill there's usually not much you can do for them.

No. Not legally. DoC paid to have the repeaters installed, and pay an annual fee to Radio Spectrum NZ or some such Govt dept for the use of those frequencies.

In high usage areas (Auck, ChCh)...

Gidday,

If the Tikka is brand new, take it straight back to the retailer. If not, just ask around here. Someone will have had the same issue. And fixed it.
