Interesting. Most of us here are in beverage unpackaging and processing....

When I was young and free, I moved to Wagga for work because the pay was the same as Sydney but the cost of living was significantly less. After 7 years I followed my wife to Brisbane because of the lack of job opportunities in Wagga. With remote working...Leave a comment:

From talking to Ranger and Everest owners, it will never replace the Pajero because Ford can't make a vehicle as reliable as a Pajero. I can't comment on the PS/Challengers because I don't delve into those sections of the forum

I'm going to be keeping an eye on that. I don't need the 0-100 in 4s or 4.5t towing. Slapping another battery in the camper trailer makes it feasible for the type of travel I do.
Chassis like frame under the vehicle will make for a very...Leave a comment:

I wish we could drive to the conditions and not the sign posted limits but with the number of speed "safety" cameras around make that an expensive exercise....Leave a comment:

I worked on the theory that if you weren't crashing, you weren't trying hard enough.
In reality my ambition overtook my ability fairly regularly....Leave a comment:

A long time ago I used to ride downhill mountain bikes and crashed often. One day after talking about how many times we had crashed that day someone asked me "Were you riding a shopping trolley?" and another nickname was added to my list....Leave a comment:

Qld introduced a waste levy in 2019 which is making it cheaper to recycle many things like crushed concrete rather than take it to land fill. Steel is recycled in Australia and also shipped off shore for recycling. I don't think there is anywhere in...Leave a comment:

Agree that better goverment support is needed but generally recycled metal is cheaper than new. There is also the environmental side of digging it out, processing it, sending it to China and back but we won't talk about that....Leave a comment:

Dicko I recognise that quite a few people tow big vans and agree with your comments in other posts about the excessive size of the vans. However they still represent a small part of the population. Most are also not in a busting hurry so a stop in a...Leave a comment:

Grumpmeister to answer your questions based on current technology;
1. LTO batteries are capable of recharging at 600kW so under 30mins for the Rivian.
2. 8 year warranty based on 100,000km per year (commercial use)
3. BEV are far more...Leave a comment:

If the solar panels are next to the swap and go station, there is no need to transport anything (except taking the battery there in the first place). I think Dicko is onto something here. May not be a main battery but maybe an 2nd battery for remote...Leave a comment:

Current commercially available solar panels are 15-20% efficient. New technology is 40-47% efficient. It would be interesting to see how much power you would need vs how much power can be generated from solar panels on the roof of a wagon.

I agree that a Rivian can't go out and cross the Simpson today without a support vehicle but I also wouldn't be game to do it in a stock Pajero.
The Rivian uses Samsung Lithium Ion batteries which have a known limitation of been prone to...Leave a comment:

Kia and Hyundai have small budget run around EVs, they just are significantly more expensive that the ICE versions.
I don't think we need more small EVs, people who have small cars are generally not doing the km to justify an EV in Australia....Leave a comment:

Hydrogen is unproven technology up against a lower tech, proven, lower safety risk, established technology that already has the distribution network in place (battery electric vehicles). I don't want to be held to ransom by fuel stations who don't have...Leave a comment:

How far northside?
Furture Auto @ Brendale was well rated on the forum in the past. I have only taken mine there once to diagnose a particular issue which they were spot on. A bit too far to be my regular and they no long fit customer supplied...Leave a comment:

Electric motors on all 4 wheels, heaps of torque, even looks alright. I'll take the wagon version thanks....Leave a comment:

What do you like about your Pajero
A bit of preaching to the choir but I have been thinking of starting this post for a while as a tangent to discussions about what you would replace the Paj with. The demographic at the shop centre and on this forum are a testiment to the fact that the... -
265/75R16 so one size up. The BFG lugs on the side give the tyre a square profile. From memory, I only have about 35mm lift at the front so not as much clearance as others. Some minor damage to the bull bar has it sitting back slightly on the passenger...Leave a comment:
