To determine the 'factory equivalent' crawl ratio, you have two options. 1) Use an on line calculator that just spits out the answer so long as you enter correct parameters. 2) Do a bit of reading and some math and learn a thing or two. As I am familiar with Toyota HiLux trucks in the US, I...

^^^ this is a common misconception. I have made posts about this previously, but will do so again here for the sake of clarification. Especially with large vehicles such as NPR/NPS, Mercedes Sprinters with 6" of wheel travel, OKA, MAN TGM, Volvo C303 and the like, basically anything bigger than...

That is what most people need, not a 750,000 dollar, 24,000 pound behemoth to roll down the highway in :-) cool rig, man.

A "1 ton" rear axle is a bit of a misnomer. Three-quarter ton and 1 ton axles can be rated anywhere from 6,500 pounds to 11,500 pounds depending on bearings, tube (wall) thickness, brakes, tires, single or dually, etc. Further, what Dana Spicer or AAM rates an axle at as an OEM is quite...

That is likely the most robust LandCruiser ever made, with the venerable 70-Series in a close second. I will be following on Mud. Thanks

Hi Peter, it's nice to see someone doing things the right way and making the box part of the monocoque instead of adding 100 - 400mm in springs, pivots, mounts and double-frames. How many kilometers would you say you have on your OKA with this box? Any issues with stress cracks or delamination...

Nice stuff, thanks.

The fenders look great. I haven't seen any quite like that. Is there a non-facey-gram location for one to view the boat or camper build of "Wilds Drake"?

An inexpensive VPN (avoid NORD and other highly-marketed options), solves your problem and keeps ALL of your traffic private. Choose your 'country of origin' at will, changing if necessary for various transactions, such as signing up for BBC's iPlayer from "the UNITED STATES" :cool:

Title of Post: Best hoses and connectors for plumbing a water system? If you don't want the best, don't ask for that. Instead, ask for a ranking or hierarchy of best to worst, best value for money, or some other topic to be discussed.

I have built a box of a similar size using commercially-produced sandwich panels. Dry/empty weight was about 250 kg. If properly constructed, the box doesn't weigh much at all; it's the furniture, water, mountain bike, diesel, solar panels, inverters, cooking hob, crockery and so on, that add...

If you really want the BEST, get out your credit card. Options are: Hoses from a company such as Metra-Flex or Sani-Flex. PEX is awful and introduces micro-plastics into your water supply, as does PVC. Now, if you don't care about that or about really having the best, any old water line will...

...as compared to a "regular" Chinese diesel heater. According to this video review, there are some differences, but the juice likely isn't worth the squeeze (5x - 6x the price in Pound Sterling) If you are a 'buy once, cry once' type of guy, look at ITR and stay away from all Chinese...
