24.01.2022 [OFFROAD/TOURING TIP] 2/5 (2) Have a budget. Fairly regularly I receive phone calls from people travelling Australia, who have busted their original suspension, or a brand or solution we do not sell. When they calculate the cost of the right fix, they often freak out. They don’t have the money. They’ve spent it, and they wonder how they will get home.... Without raining on the spirit of adventure, travelling (on-road or off) costs money. Include Murphy’s Law in your budget and plans and your touring should be relaxed and fun. #4wd #4x4 #offroad #4wding #4wd1 #offroading #australia #toughdogsuspension #ford #ranger #toughdogshocks #toughdog #toyota #hilux #adventure #truck #ute #lifted #offroad4x4 #explore #toyota4x4 #4wdlife #4x4action #4wdaustralia #4x4offroad #4x4accessories #offroadlife #4wdlife #4wdtouring #exploreaustralia

19.01.2022 BEACH DRIVING [TIPS] 101: < PART 7 > Read on.... Sand dunes can be dangerous. Drive them straight up or straight down. Negotiating them at an angle is a recipe 4 disaster. Injuries & deaths may be the result. Can’t make it to the top? Reverse down in your existing tracks. What's on the other side of the dune? Walk up to find out if another 4WD is approaching or your intended route is impassable.

17.01.2022 A popular Australian 4wd magazine featured a 19-page torture and comparison test of the 10 best-selling 4WD shocks. Tough Dog shocks 'collared' the competition, and were awarded 1st place, in a line-up that included Koni, Bilstein, Old Man Emu, Ultimate, Raw and TJM. Real-world testing was conducted by off-road racing legend Bruce Garland. Bruce said of the Tough Dogs; "From the moment we drove out of the fitting bay, I knew there something impressive underneath the Cruiser. ...They gave the Cruiser almost unmatched pitch balance front to rear that controlled the vehicle superbly where other shocks were simply unsettled.. They were able to soak up the uneven ground with ease without ever letting the vehicle skip across the track.. They gave a satisfying amount of confidence to the driver and always stayed predictable even across the roughest sections of track.. The balance of comfort inside the vehicle and driver control was ideal.. Soft enough to soak up the rough stuff, while remaining stiff enough to give you plenty of confidence behind the wheel."

15.01.2022 For apples-for-apples comparisons on shock absorber travel lengths, it's important that you and the seller are communicating the specs taken at the same place on the shocks. The industry standard in catalogue format is that where there is a round/eye fitting, the measurement is taken at the centre of the eye. Where there is a stud/pin mount fitting, the measurement is taken at the base of the pin and where the pin/stud connects to the shock body or shock jacket. www.4WD1.com

12.01.2022 BEACH DRIVING [TIPS] < PART 8 > Read on... General road rules apply. Keep left. Use your indicators. Daytime? Use headlights for ‘awareness’. Night? Dips in the sand may 'hide' someone in the area. Never drive between the waters’ edge and someone fishing. Park a vehicle facing downhill. This should allow you to take off smoothly and get up to the speed you need. Know your tides. Getting stranded is not fun. www.4WD1.com... #4wd #4x4 #offroad #4wding #4wd1 #offroading #australia #beachdriving #ford #ranger #toughdogshocks #beachlife #toyota #hilux #adventure #truck #ute #lifted #offroad4x4 #explore #toyota4x4 #4wdlife #4x4action #4wdaustralia #4x4offroad #4x4accessories #offroadlife #4wdlife #4wdtouring #exploreaustralia
11.01.2022 DARK ART? Not any more! - TORSION BAR SUSPENSION (installing and adjusting torsion bar springs) for height and/or compensate for front end load-bearing accessories seems like a bit of a 'dark art' for some 4WD owners. Check out this video by TOUGH DOG for clarity. Got questions? Just ask! Full range of torsion bars (and related products) available at www.4WD1.com
11.01.2022 That would be extra distressing if it was something of of your control....

10.01.2022 [OFFROAD/TOURING TIP] 3/5 (3) Check out your jack before you head away. On raised-height 4WDs, the factory-supplied jack may not reach the new taller contact points. If you face this problem in the middle of the bush (or anywhere really) a simple wheel change becomes a major drama. So, test your jack for suitability and reach to the axle, chassis or specified jacking points.... Hi-Lift style jacks may overcome this scenario. These are a great product, but can also be like a ‘brown snake’ in the hands of the inexperienced. Master its safe operation and remember Hi-Lift’s don’t really work on plastic bumpers.
08.01.2022 Red belly in a glove box outside Lowood chemist today. The lady driving obviously got a hell of a fright as she seen it coming out while driving & pulled in to... the chemist. I opened up the glove box and there it was sitting nice and content. Its usually a nightmare to find a snake when its got in to a car but luckily found this guy pretty quickly. Busy day. 0411 399 272 have a good night.

04.01.2022 [OFFROAD/TOURING TIP] 1/5 (1) Credit cards are an essential vehicle-recovery device. Don’t like them? I understand, but if you’re stuck somewhere and have access to a phone, you can dial (like a pizza) help, be it a spare part for air-freight from a major city, a towing service, or to pay a mechanic for an unexpected repair. These days, you can’t even book a caravan park or motel without first providing your credit card details as a deposit.... Don’t trust yourself not to use it for another type of emergency? Like running out of beer! - Freeze the card in a big block of ice and keep it in the bottom of your Ironman Fridge/Freezer. That’ll give you at least half an hour to think about it! #4wd #4x4 #offroad #4wding #4wd1 #offroading #australia #toughdogsuspension #ford #ranger #toughdogshocks #toughdog #toyota #hilux #adventure #truck #ute #lifted #offroad4x4 #explore #toyota4x4 #4wdlife #4x4action #4wdaustralia #4x4offroad #4x4accessories #offroadlife #4wdlife #4wdtouring #exploreaustralia
02.01.2022 [OFFROAD/TOURING TIP] 4/5 (4) Test your gear before you head away. Know how to use it. Suspension, an electrical product, something inflatable, something waterproof, anything with a function Make the time to test it before you head away.... Say you’ve purchased a reputable tyre compressor pump kit, which you keep brand new in its box until it’s time to use it. You’re proud of your purchase. It’s known to be a great product. Then, after some beach work, you pull the pump out to re-inflate the tyres and when you flick the switch nothing!...It doesn’t workYou’re the one in a thousand. You’re warranty card is not much good to you right now!
