White Tyre Paint

.....Yeh but it looks heaps better and that's what counts !
BS

Maybe he should try pink or flouro green for a difference?

Why would he try fluro pink or green?

"I turn them around so that you cannot see the lettering"
Same here Phil.
I use to have the white letter on the outside on my street cars, then I decided it looked better being black, carried that over to the 4wd.
Each to their own I guess.

Too true

We had the lettering showing on the 1968 Holden HK. But that was a show. And NOT they were not white walls.

Phil

A good mate has just put a set of white walls on his 69 XW ute, looks real nice too with the 12 slotters.
Even has the white Venetian rear window sun defector and the hinged mesh stoneguard headlight protectors and he is chasing a meshed windscreen protector as well.
Hmmm

Mesh winscreen protectot! I haven't seen one of those since my sister had one on her Chev Bellair. They lived in Holbrook and a lot of the roads were gravel as well as the sides of the the old Hume.

Best of luck there. May have to make it.

Phil Thinking we are drifting of into the OT world mate.

"Kind of marks the car as a "city" suv"

this might be viewed as reverse psychology-but "in the bush" I dont think many if any give a rats crack whether their letters are this way or that.
I think its more to do with city folk wanting to look "bush" and its a "cool" fad not to face them out.
Some give the impression that being a city person is something to hide or be ashamed of-I kind of wonder why?

The only time I would never turn then around (white lettering facing out) is if they gave me a set for FREE..... then I would kindly advertise for them.

I have never understood why people put stuff like ARB, TJM, Warn, Cooper, BFG and the list goes on and on stickers on their 4x4's... hey if someone want to put my name on thier 4x4 I'm happy to do it...... that's if you pay an exaggerated price for the sticker.

I have a simple motto...... if you want to advertise on my 4x4 user pays!

Hey Phil,
Thread, 71382, Windscreen Stoneguard


fisho64, I don't give a rats what others do, It's just my preference to have the writing on the inside.
Just like when I bought my new Smoked Bonnet Protector for the cruiser, the young girl asked if for an extra 20 bucks I could get the word LandCruiser sticker for it. I asked why, I know it's a landcruiser, I don't have to tell others what it is.

Hey olcoolone, not a bad way of looking at it.
"if you want to advertise on my 4x4 user pays!"

Hey you guys. Don't start me on advertising. Thats why we are getting a plain spare wheel cover. Unless I can get an Eels one.

I have three stickers on the car. One for Bilstein as they did me a deal. One for the 4WD workshop because they warrant it as they have done extra for us. And one for the coppers to read when they look at the windscreen.

Nice chat guys. Not one argument. Thats surprises me. I have to go to bed. Bloody treatment early tomorrow.

Put covers on my spares so they weren't stolen, even put 3 different size wheel nuts to confuse them as well.

We have a padlock on the Kaymar carrier. It was used by the local Parks mob on a gate near our place that gave us rear access to our house as well as giving them another exit in case of fire.. They had a fire and couldn't open it even with the bolt cutters. The mechanism froze up. They had cut the chain. They gave me the padlock. I already had a key from a friendly ranger years back.

Worked wd40 etc into it and then soaked it in a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) cleaner in to remove everything and then filled it with graphite. Works a treat. It took a while.

I am happy that the smaller, even larger, bolt cutters that a thief were to carry will not open it. Don't worry I work the padlock to keep it in good order. Wouldn't be good to have to cut up the Kaymar to get at the spare if the padlock froze up again. Hey!

Phil

You go faster having them that way as well Dave!..))).


Cheers Axle.

I always considered you a little 'out there' but not any more.

You beat me to the keyboard on this one, however you and I both now know that we are the only ones 'in the know' re this little gem of 4WD technology.

PS

It's also why you don't see white lettering on 2WD sedans - makes them go too fast.

scotch brite scouring pad is even matter with some detergent

well said-but you will get moderated cos you used a word commonly used in the bush but a little sensitive for here :-)

I will second the brilliant sugar soap. Great product.

And Danz M if you want your 4 be to look good that is great.

Happy cleaning,
RA.

I think if you're out camping and are worrying about your white lettering then you should probably stay at home.

Agree about everything have dual uses though.

No, Ben, though I do other maintenance in the bush, the desert red is only removed in the driveway at home.

The solvol is useful in the camp, though.
