No such luck

You can post in general OR the sub categories if that helps?

I'd prefer a new motor

Grrrrr I can't join the 4.2td or the CRD club. As admin I demand a new motor!!!!!

150 members tonight ! Yewwww

I wish i was in it. Whats involved in swapping a 3.0 in a 2002 GU -> 4.2TD? Does it involve any wireloom crap or is it a straight swap?

Bloody freight kills this blokes site.. I wanted an anderson T-Handle - $4.95 + delivery - it would cost him $1.00 to post, he charged $10.00. That adaptor could fit into a standard padded envelope.

Sweet - Im thinking of selling my quite new set of 4 Cooper AT's and upgrading to the 33" STMAXX that everyone is raving about. The Cooper AT's are fantastic on road and in the wet, but ground clearance in the bush will make a difference.. Plus, it will look shit hot.

This is allready up and running - If you look at the home page on the right hand column, there are two donate options - these are linked to PayPal - Members can donate if they wish towards the costs of the two features mentioned.

I opened your Political area... you can discuss it all you want in there! If you want to go all Neo on us, I can open up another area for the hard core nutz.

Flat battery? They don't like the cold.

Ive recieved a lot of questions from members of 4x4patrol.com (the other site) about the future of this site - Most of the questions have been fair concidering the doubt over the other forums future. To make things clear and upfront I have put together the following information. Firstly, anyone who runs a forum does it to either make money or they run it out of the kindness of their heart. The later are in the minority. This place will in one way or another need to pay for itself - either through donations, advertising or vendor sponsorship or a combination of these things. Obviously while this place is so small, Vendors and Advertising is out and I doubt many of you will want to donate to somthing that's so new. (I couldnt blame you for that) - So for now the cost of running this place will fall on my shoulders + any generous members wishing to donate. In the future, when this place gets bigger I may introduce a vendors area - where vendors can pay for their own special spot in the forum and I may introduce premium accounts - which may offer extra features or Kudos for those who pay a small donation to keep the place running. Finally I may also introduce targeted advertising - However if this occurs I will ensure its not in your face. All this is pie in the sky - as this place may never really take off - But in the future if things go well no one will be able to point the finger and say - Hey - you never told us about these things upfront. Concider yourself informed! So here are some of the questions I got from various members of other forums with answers... Why was this place started? - I was a regular viewer of patrol4x4.com - after being restricted to using it in tapatalk for a few weeks it dawned on me that patrol4x4 may never recover and I saw an opportunity to help the community and to possibly make some money - So I took that opportunity and ran with it. Who owns this place? - Me its a personal hobby, not part of my day job / business. Is it in my Will? - Um, no, not directly. How long will this site survive? - As long as there is demand for it - I will fund it for 12-18 months after which time it will either fund itself via the above, or it will have dwindled into obscurity. Who moderates this site? - Me, thou I have offered patrol4x4.com moderators the same positions here if that site does dissapear or they decide its not worth saving. If it gets to be to much work for me and none of the patrol4x4 guys want the job then I may take allow reliable members from here to help out. If you have any other questions feel free to message me and I will answer them publically here.

Donation widget is up - On the right side of home page :-)

Another logo update - This time its not just a GU. No one bothered to send me any pictures so my designer picked cars at random.

Today Invision Power released a native iOS application for IP Board (the software that makes this place tick) Search for IPS in the app store to download today! Is it as good as tapatalk? Well, I just tried it out and I would have to say at this stage no. But it will get better and better as this is the first release.

Did you take the mud flaps off due to the size of the 33's or ??

As in UHF or as in people skills?

Yep - Its going to have rules. Post Counts: Today I have edited the following forums so they dont allow post count increments.. Policical Crappery - Sorry Mavtroll General - Sorry gottheshits Polls Forum News Banter / Censorship: While I dont want to censor anyone - This place is a PATROL and General 4x4 / Camping / Touring forum. Its not somewhere to push your political agenda - Theres no point trying to convice the other side of your views - they dont listen. I would also like to ask that people discuss - not argue, theres been a fair bit of shit up on the patrol4x4 forum that ends up in mud slinging and thats of no use to anyone. Your free to discuss Labor vs Liberal vs Greens - in the political section - just make it friendly. Rule edited 17/05/2012. Political Section Removed. Your free to discuss solar vs nuclear - Again, no point in trying to convince anyone of anything - they wont listen. Rule edited 17/05/2012. Political Section Removed. Your free to discuss your mates Prado to - just dont bloody argue which is better. Admin is Boss: Lets get one thing straight - I run this place. If you dont like it, Leave. :-) Money: In an effort to be fair and upfront... Believe it or not, this place costs real money to setup - Forum license fees, classifieds license fees, hosting fees, graphic artwork fees and my time - all cost money. At some point im going to attempt to recoupt those costs - and possibly more. This may mean voluntary donations, premium account options for enhanced features, advertising, vendors sections etc. Unfortunatly it cannot run without these things - Real money doesn't grow on trees. Advertising: No advertising outside businesses - Not your own, or anyone else's. If we allow this, the place will become one big advertisement. This goes for signatures and posts. Other Stuff: Your adults - think for yourself. Post Content: (Rule added 17/05/2012) This is a private membership based discussion - You post here on the condition that the administrators may edit or remove your posts as they see fit. Requests for post removals will generally be ignored. Just like real life, once you say somthing, you cannot take it back. Admin however reserves the right to remove, edit or keep your post for the good of the community. If you dont like it, leave. Posts made after 17/05/2012 will be concidered posted under this rule. Ownership Details: (Added 9/07/2012) This forum trades under the ABN: 79172986749. MYPATROL4x4 is a registered business name.

Im going to compile a post about the monitization of this place - Which will need to happen - So far im out of pocket quite a bit. Vendors sections is one idea, another idea i have is donations and another is charging small amounts for 'Premium Accounts' of some sort (like say 5 bucks a year to become a premium member which gives you x,y,z benifits) - But these are all just ideas and while this place is so small it really doesnt matter. Edit: See: and see:

The classifieds section is now up and running - However can you please elaborate on the clubs - Are these just categories that you would like added? If so, can you create a list of them for me.

I should have named this place myebay!

Good idea - it will keep that crap out of general :-)

No, unfortunatly tapatalk doesn't support it.

This is a patrol forum - not a boat forum :-p Looks like you might have got wet feet with that one!

HAHA
