Ive been offgrid completely for the last 10 years with both solar and wind power that whole time. The store bought wind turbines dont really make that much useable power. I had one like in your link and it destroyed the blades in high wind. I now have a big heavy duty unit with fiberglass blades...

Id be interested in swapping my large coil for the smaller one if your still toying with the idea.

Sit the tank on an upturned skateboard, so you can rotate the tank easily and cut with a thin wheel on the grinder. P.s carbon monoxide is explosive between 12.5 and 74% Id be using water myself.

Would love to see a picture if you have one.

Crawler gears (Lower gearing) in your transfer case is what you need. That way it reduces the gear ratio only when 4wd is engaged. Be carefull of trying to slow a 4wd with brakes when making a slippery decent, it can cause the front wheels to lock up and you may go into a slide and lose the...

I was going to remove the broken bit and put a wooden dowel into the end. Id be interested in buying a billet one if you ever make some.

Great mod job. After putting one of these up on my own on a trip to darwin and back, i can definitely see the worth in taking the time to carry this out. Just be wary on relying on those cast end peices on the poles, a gust of wind got mine as i was setting up and snapped the cast peice in half...

Any update on your experience with this?

Can be used for either if using a 12/24v controller just remember to hook up the controller to the battery first so it knows what voltage the system is and can charge accordingly.

Big fan of the prado personally, had an 2009 and would get another in a heartbeat. The injector issue is a potential problem for all Toyota's with the D4D diesel engine (prado, hilux etc) but i believe it had been addressed after 2008. Still, Get the nearest Toyota dealership to do a injector...

Look forward to your review. My first detector was a $18 job from the local newsagents about 20 years ago. Found $2.05 in the local play areas at some parks. Was enough to get me interested in the hobby and i haven't looked back. People may knock it and tell you that you get what you pay for...

My observations were that the gold was not contained in or in contact with the pyrite. There was however plenty of gold in the quartz veins in the same vicinity. This was from a underground narrow vein gold mine in a very well known gold feild. Crush and sample would be the only way to know for...

Only 36.8 in the lounge room the other day. a cool 34 today :(

Bought a gp pointer about 6 months ago. Never had a problem with it. They get some bad press but as seen above even the name brand ones can have issues. I sometimes take it along with me when i know im going somewhere good but dont have time/room for a full size detector. The old man dropped...

I start at the access track, where the trsck stops and the beach starts. Then I head off to one side and follow the edge of the dunes or vegetation. I do a sort of slow walk/shuffle so i leave a visible track so i can see where i have been previously. I do like a 30 metre run before turning back...

The 4x4 supacentre spotties lenses do yellow with age. I had the Stedi brand lights previous to the supercenter ones. Hit a roo at 100 and absolutely flattened the mounting brackets, but the lights held up perfectly. Ill be contacting Stedi about buying some replacement brackets. Ive run a...

Checked out a couple of spots on the way home from the inlaws on the weekend. The amount of pulltabs drove me me nuts at the first location and i left with only 10c fir my efforts. Stopped for lunch at a pub on the way home and gave the girls the pinpointer to run over the sand in the play area...
