my bf xls has had concrete to the dump and weighed 1830kg + 2200kg trailer and they wouldn't let me in cause my gross was way over 5 ton, so I droped the trailer and weighed just over 4t, it regularly sees the wrong side of 1.5t the diff went at 55k. The xrt has had over a ton. I caught my apprentice loading the xls up with 160 bessa blocks on the back (that's close to 3.5 ton's) I said WTF no way are you driving that to which he replied but its ony 5k to the other site. My work car is a dual cab triton, I picked up .5m3 road base, while old mate (first day on the job) was loading I walked away to take a call, when I finished he had actually put 1.5m3 (over 2t) on it, OMG the tray is 1800x1800 with 300mm sides and it was almost level with the bars. The tow bar was 60mm off of the ground, the bars which are almost 2100 high were under my chin. I made him shovel it all off till I had the .5 I asked for. Yeah my cars work for a living. Tony

I have an earlier model xtra cab with a 1uzfe v8 in it, its a tight sqeeze width wise, I doubt the i6 would fit

70-80 kgs difference I have done it. Pfft traction is over rated any way

I did exactly that. The passenger side one needs two cutouts, one for the guard and another for the fuel filler. I have two boxes and still fit the bike in no worries. The tonneu goes on over them but you dont use the hoops any more. Mine just sit in the shed as the turbo dosn't tow or carry anything any more.

mate the tow weight is part of the compliance, so the dealer cant say she'll be right.

no, not for the drive line, just better to get the heavy load moving. Mate ive blown 7 boxes in 35ks all from towing (4spd auto). Not sure about the 6sp auto but you will destroy the std clutch too.

my downstairs loo blocked up last month, when I pulled the pan out, turds were full up to the bend (only guests use that bathroom and they never said anything just pissed off) I rang the plumber at 7.30 on sunday night to come over, he told me to go and jump but I could come get the eel if I wanted. Long story short I ended up with about 5 buckets of sh*t and paper on the bathroom floor and I wasnt picking it up so I removed the shower grate and hosed em all down the shower. No wonder that pricks bill is so high, it was not plesant. The biggest challenge was keeping my 4yo out of it all. He even went and got his gumboots on to help.

if your worried bout security, delete the codes monthly and reinstall your remotes. my garage remote opens about 100 houses in brisbane atleast as it saves me draging heaps of keys around but it screws me up if some one deletes the codes

having had a wagon (twin turbo ) with the power your "aiming" at, I will tell you that you will never drive it on the street with anything close to that power. Mine had tens of thousands spent on the drive line and suspension and it still had almost no traction at any speed. good luck with it though

agreed, at the absolut best it would be debris off the ground but definatly not the round.

done this exact research last september and the suzuki swift is by far the best value/quality. As for resale a feb 06 with 36ks sold for 16k (I got one (aug 07)for 17.4k with tint and mats brand new)

if this is the price we pay for our security, then its just too much to pay.

we had a guy murdered in inala last week in a home invasion, sounds really bad untill you find out he druged and raped a guy and it was the rape victim that took revenge on him. So my question is, should the drug dealer who raped the other bloke be allowed to shoot the intruder? Ps by all accounts he really did a number on the drug dealer to the point some cops were sick at what they found. I guess my point is that in these situation its important that the person with the gun/weapon be charged untill all evidence is presented (im not saying convicted though)

stockies are 16" and yes they fit

nice, mmmm maybe I know what I will be getting for xmas

mine looked clean too but when I pulled the trim off there was lots of crap just inside, but that's not to say your's isn't rooted

I used 8mm turn buckles to the tie down point but depending on the width of the box, it may not work

I didnt compare the gtho to the hsv I compared the price as a pespective on quantity of cars avaliable . Re read what I said re the 427, they were all PRE SOLD prior to even be confirmed for productions. Mate, I or any one can buy a grange and I guess they wouldent be limited in no's like this "special" , they are a nice car but they are marketed to a different demographic compared to the 427 or the 385kw version. In car terms I guess im not as one eyed as many, I actually apreciate the car rather than a badge. Dont even compare a modded T to this car, it will be stock (if it ever gets built) 385kw and its backed by a FULL Expensive Daewoo warranty unlike a modded t or a phoon. Im not in the market for a 120k car either but dont sh*tcan it before you even see/drive it.

no prob's I appreciate the caution but I really wanted to know the procedures, which now have been explained. I had a bag from the import wreckers blow up infront of me and without the solid backing of a mounted wheel it just inflates with little force ( I still had a little skid mark though). Again thanks for the concern.

na they arn't. 4 types yellow-xr series green std series red 1 tonner nfi what the rtv's are (assume a diffenent colour though) when you see them side by side you can see the differences in the bends and the one tonners have an extra leaf

if they are stock springs, the bushes are moulded (front eye) in if not you should be able to push em out

mine says "it must suck to be you" and the one below "you'd lose" and my bike helmet " I may ride funny but I'm in front of you"

piece of piss, just need axle stands (put them under the chassis not the diff) and a trolly jack (under the diff) just undo the shackle bolts from the rear/front and the diff mount bolts and change em. PS: xr8 leafs are the same as xr6 and if you use nolathane bushes or similar grease the sh*t out of the inner tube of the bush as the squeel like a piggy if you dont.
