My old coaster had a wis bang radio with all sorts of connectivity but would only pick up one fm station. It was always a good reception even in isolated areas where my radios normal struggle. Spent nearly a full day removing the old aerial (had to pull dash as whoever fitted it thought it was a good idea to...

Hi everyone, I've just recently returned from a trip which included Mt. Isa, Bourketown, Cape York and Weipa. Portions of the Cape York gravel roads are really shocking. In country Queensland asphalt roads only exist in the larger towns and cities, the rest of the sealed roads are chip sealed(2cm sc...

My thoughts are either the s-line or r600 mack, like em both. Intend on towing a 3500kg off road van. Power and trans would be too much of a problem, just slot another combo in.

Being a Queenslander, ....I have just checked the B.O.M. and it appears that there is not a bit of rain anywhere to be seen in Queensland and Northern New South Wales.
