I recently bought new sunraysia wheels and toyo light truck tyres for my tandem trailer (it had used ford stud wheels and used car tyres on it that were 2yrs old which needed replacing for rego). The result was the trailer sat 2 inches higher because of the light truck tyres. To combat the angle of the trailer I bought an adjustable ball mount from hayman reese for about $150 (#21228) and adjusted it to full height and now it sits level again. Russman: My '09 VE SSV Ute sits similar to yours (not as bad, but i've had mine lowered with stiffer rear springs too) and thats with just a 550kg car on a 550kg trailer (sitting level). I'm gonna look at getting some different rear shocks or some other setup in the rear. It does tow perfectly though, can safetly do the speed limit and keep up with regular cars (which shocks them because they all pull out to overtake only to find they cant even keep up) and my fuel economy only jumps about 2.5L/100km over regular city driving (6L engine drops to v4 for quite a bit of the trip back to sydney from wakefield which helps the economy). Still got 4yrs to go on my utes lease so after that I may look at a new Navara as well. As for using a van to tow, no problems but you really need to put some weight in the back of them when you tow (spare wheels and tools would be ideal) otherwise they feel like the trailer is doing all the steering. They lack power but make up for it in reliability. (I traded my previous tow vehicle, a 2000 hiace with 370,000km on it for my ssv ute - the hiace was great, it just didnt like going up hills with a trailer on it haha)

Same problem with notifications for me. I get PM emails but not thread update notifications.

Great list !!

Errr no. JUN arrived as the defending champion but left without even putting down a competitive time, so why is JUN issuing a challenge for new cars to step forward?

So JUN arrived at the runway talking the talk, but couldnt walk the walk, at the end of the challenge was still talking it up despite not even getting a time down. To finish first, first you must finish. Well done to the other competitors.

I will head out for abit of a look, its either going to be very packed or very quiet!

My SSV at last weeks Texi.

Lots of tool sales on yesterday. Picked up myself a 3 piece Irwin Vice Grip set, 5 piece Irwin Pliers set, Stanley FatMax saw and a Toolex 8 piece T-Handle Hex kit. No idea if I need any of them but the prices were too good to knock back. Was considering a Cordless Impact Wrench but couldn't decide between the Dewalt or Hitachi and can get them off Ebay for the same price any day of the week so walked out with none

iPhone compatiable, YAY!

You'd make love to anything fatz...

Good work Steveo!

DuSpeed Air Intake, MAF-less engine tune, auto tune, stock everything else. edit....and the capacity of 2x RB30's

This is the last of my video's for this event, about 3 didn't turn out (user error) but on the most part I think they turned out alright for a $300 camera set to medium quality.
