ASK ARB – roof rack carrying capacity

28th August, 2013

Hi ARB, I am after some advice. I live in the outback of WA in a community called Burringurrah, more commonly known as Mount Augustus. 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.

13th May, 2013

Hi ARB, When looking at replacing the standard suspension on our 100 Series LandCruiser with IFS, quite a few sales staff of other brands were stating that the IFS Cruisers are very hard on shock absorbers and that is why they have big bore units to fit. The Old Man Emu suspension does not have a big bore shock absorber so ...
