Australian 4WD Action - June 2018

If last issue’s DIY 12V Projects feature got you inspired,

here’s a collection of our favourite tricks to make any install easier and better

W

e’ve got a
running joke
around 4WD
Action HQ, that
goes along the
lines of turning a simple job
into an epic ordeal. You know
when you start out doing

something seemingly simple,

like replacing a winch, or fi tting

a new dual-battery charger,

and all of a sudden it’s three

days later and you’ve got half

the front end pulled apart?

Unfortunately that’s a sting we

know all too well, but just like

the narrower rear diff on a V8

Cruiser, it doesn’t have to be

that way! Over the years we’ve

had the good fortune to pick up

some cracking tips from some

of Australia’s best mechanics,

and other things we’ve learned

the hard way ourselves. Don’t

be that bloke who lobs in to

replace an inner axle seal and

ends up with a vehicle off the

road for three weeks. Take

these tips on board and we

guarantee your next DIY install

will induce a whole heap less

headaches!
