FG's in Action

[Amesz00]

So, Weebles wobble but they DO FALL DOWN?... What the hell is that vehicle doing on its side?

oka's are not known for their great stability. long, soft leaves gives a beautiful ride, but lack of swaybars makes for ******** over turkey if your not careful...

Yes they have a habit of turning turtle!

No damage was done, pulled it back on it's wheels and of they went.

I guess since there are about 9,000,000 Aussies on this thread, it might be a good place to ask if anyone is running the Oka's for expo travel? I looked at shipping one over to Canada about ten years ago. Are they a good rig or a bit finicky? What are the options for power and gear boxes etc? Spares availiable?

Redthies,you have a couple of issues to consider,all Aussie OKA's are RHD,there is a couple LHD in Chile and Germany,easy enough to convert as the LHD panels are available,drivetrain is quite common in the U.S,Dana 60 front Dana 70 rear,Spicer transmission,NP 205 transfer case most gear available off the shelf specially in the U.S,cab panels are available but all these are easy to reproduce by any decent sheetmetal shop,the vehicle is very reliable if you mantained properly,just about all the issues that cause concern been iron out and there is plenty of gear out there to upgrade if you want a bullet proof vehicle and finally I will tell you that most of the people that criticise the OKA never owned one.
Hope this is of some help
Cheers Joe

Near Shillinghurst Regulator on the Murray a few weeks ago. Ranger had a bit of trouble but reckoned "you'll be ok in that".

Exiting Palm Valley last week. Nice to see the chassis twist without breaking the box (I think)!
