Stone Stomper?
(Preview)
Custom built and tied-down bunch of plastic is latest way to protect your generator? Not to mention the weight, with 2 gas bottles and a jerry can on drawbar, chains not crossed, and the horror of an LC200 with no WDH. And his mate had a big van behind a Prado.Cheers

How to fix sail track to van
(Preview)
Hi All, Month or so ago I asked for advice on fixing a sail track to the fibreglass roof of my Transit van. I ended up using Sikaflex 11FC and it worked fantastically well. Second night of use we had downpour of rain and a large amount of water pooled in the tarp, but the track didn't budge. Thanks to everyo...

Gutless wonders

I observed an ice addicted bloke in his 20s picking on an old frail 79 year old male who was minding his own business. When this moron grabbed the old bloke, it was my automatic que to step in.

So I see a lot of van 'conversions' of the DIY variety. These tend to be van conversions of Sprinters and...
