after completing a 2 1/2 bush walk from spit bridge to Manly we were absolutely stuffed and out of water so we visited the TRMNL Convenience store at Manly Wharf being catching the next ferry back to Circular Quay. This videos shows our experience at the store when I accidentally left my Go Pr on the counter. It also explains how you can find a lost or stolen Go Pro 10 ! #gopro #gopro10black #g...

      A solid axle 4x4 is very rare these days, so the 70 series is appealing to those who want that feature along with the Toyota design/reliability advantages. It's not for everyone but it's definately for someone.

    It is important to note that the decibel scale is exponential, therefore an increase of 20 dB from 0 is 100 times louder. That being said, I'd trust my ears mate. If you can't hear a difference then they're no good. I might consider trying them for my 75 series since its getting old and makes quite a racket on the highway. Good vid mate.

    • @plainandsimpletravels
      @plainandsimpletravels Месяц назад

      Thanks for watching. Didn't realise that, so a 3db reduction may be a little bit better than 5% ?. Yes I think on an older vehicle the result would be more significant. I think they have improved the noise ingress over the past few years.

      Mate, the standard door seals stay on as well as the new ones. It certainly makes the doors and windows seem stronger and less vibration but as far as noise goes not much improvement on factory in our opinion.

    A story connected to the blow hole is of a squatter who saw a native spearing one of his stock.He chased the native, who escaped by diving down the blow hole.Several days later the same native was seen at the river.Hence the reason the blow hole and the Murray are believed to be connected a subterranean river.

You would have been better off buying a good FTE 100 series and saving $55,000.
