Simon's "Pimp My Ride", GWM Cannon
我最近從 GWM Wangara 購買了一輛新車,因為我的舊 Triton 就在她身上最後的腿。我決定用她換貨並買一輛托盤車作為替代品。我選擇 Cannon 主要是因為價格以及技術水平、舒適度和負載承載能力。另外,它們對我來說看起來不錯。 I recently purchased a new car from GWM Wangara as my old Triton was on herlast legs. I decided to trade her in and get a tray back ute as a replacement.I chose the Cannon mainly on price as well as the level of tech, comfort and loadcarrying capacity. Plus, they look pretty good to me. 我開始升級拖車桿、Red Arc 拖車專業精英版、車窗貼膜和地墊。 全部由經銷商提供。 在購買頂篷時,有一些不錯的產品可供選擇。我 決定使用 1

Tech Story - Maxtrax to the rescue.
Following is a story showing the importance of having the humble Maxtraxs when going into sandy areas. On Sunday night at 19.11 I received a message from a friend if I had any suggestions with a picture showing his Prado buried to the sills in sand. I asked what his tyre pressures were and suggested to go to 10 psi as he was already on 15. He tried but he was bottomed out and got no movement. The decision was made that I would come to help him. Luckily I had my mighty LX470 r

After looking at google earth, the next beach south again wasn't that far away, so, if I could make it th
