For those who have found a (one) huntsman in their car, I seem to recall hearing that huntsmen pair up (not sure if for life) so if you find and kill one, you probably have its other, very pissed off, mate/partner in the car with you as well.

On that note, safe driving. (and I wonder if they found a nice place to lay their eggs)

oohh that one behind the clock looks nice. yummy

had me a spider in my shower the other nite. it was trying to climb up the wet screen. it kept on falling down. amusing, but SOMEONE(looking in cocos direction) would die. i used to be terrified beyond beleif of spiders when i was younger, (prob because i used to live in a infested house. whenever i went into the bathroom i used to check every possible place a spider could be before showering. uhhh.

my cats name is coco

im so glad to see im not alone. i almost had an accident when a huntsman crawled out onto the sunvisor in front of my face. i swerved off the road into a driveway and jumped out. refused to go within 5 metres of the car until i could see the dead carcass. my mate thought it was hilarious until he realised i was serious and had to find it and kill it before we could go anywhere.

Somehow just having the link the these fella's in this thread didn't seem to be enough.

But they are not as big as they look, that's the dude's sleeve on the right of the picture.

Still big enough but!!

coco, they've probably nested in your airvents, so when you put your heater on full blast their spawn are gonna come flying out at you and sting you to death...

ffs they're just spiders, they're intelligent enought to know that if you f**k with a 6 foot mammal you'll most probably gonna end up gettin squished. they use their venom to hunt shit to eat, and they know they can't eat you. they'll only use it on you if you act like a tard n poke it with a stick or something like that.

Whitetails on the other hand are the bastards of spiders... they'll sting you just to confuse you so they can make a quick retreat, unfortunately their sting makes body parts rot. :(

lmao... :(

id like to see coco in a car during a 45 degree day. He'd be too scared to turn on the air conditioning knowing that... i wonder if he'd rather have a heat stroke than turn on the AC

But like funky said, huntsmen are probably scared more of us than we are of them so im pretty sure if a spider could do a "get-this-human-off-me" dance it would be worse than coco's trademarked one.

My suggestion is to confront your phobia, possibly take a bath with a tub filled with huntsmen... just like on Fear Factor (god i wanna go on that show).

That is just nasty !!

Is that a hunstsman in the picture above ?

I am scared witless of spiders and the biggest ones you get in the uk are about 1/10 that size !! there is no way I could even contamplatedealing with something like that bite or not it is feckin huge !

I once had a spider deop off my sun visor in front of me was about 3cm across including the legs and I nearly crashed my car. I think I'd just pass out if one of those bad boys jumped out on me.

Dont trust little spiders they are sneeky bastards. :)

Big spiders do have a few advantages:

1. its harder for them to hide.

2.you can here them comming (the 8 footsteps)

3. when they bite you its easy to tell. The limb is missing or the puncture marks are the size of bullet holes. :skull:

Yeah we get decent sized spiders at my place all the time, it's an old 2-storey wooden place so there's heaps of places for them to hide and they've had many many years to do so. It's pretty common for us to get spiders the size of my palm, and not surprising to occasionally find one nearly as big as my whole hand. It's farkin excellent when we have exchange students... :bahaha:

When Mum's rellies from England came here a few years back, they spotted a daddy long legs, crapped themselves a bit but after an hour or so they were OK. Then one of them spotted a huntsman (one of the biggish ones that goes out about one knuckle from the palm) on the wall in the bathroom and they very nearly booked into a hotel :D

lmao @ 4ds, funny stuff mate :)

when they byte you

Haha nerd :)

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
