ASK ARB – hi-lift vs x-jack

28th October, 2013

Dear ARB, I am trying to decide whether a Hi-Lift jack or exhaust jack will best suit my purpose. I am new to 4WDing, having recently purchased a Holden Rodeo 4x4 space cab to carry a slide-on camper for regular adventures into the Outback, coast and country. The camper weighs about 800kg loaded. Being a space cab and with tray space taken ...

ASK ARB – suspension and your responsibilities

10th October, 2013

Hi ARB, I’ve just purchased a 2009 King Cab D40 Navara. I’m very happy with it and am in the process of preparing it for a bit of 4WDing and camping.

We have to travel quite some distance to Perth and other places when we go on holidays or buy food. With a family of 5 in a 2005 Pajero, it’s no easy task. Carrying a trailer is ...

ASK ARB – advantages of a snorkel part 2

31st July, 2013

Hi, I’ve been trying for about two years to convince my wife to let me get a snorkel for my 3.0 diesel HiLux. No matter how hard I nag, she doesn’t see the point of getting one. She just tells me to avoid deep water when I go out with my mates. But apart from river crossings, what are the other benefits that a snorkel can ...
