nah Alan, they are an evaporative cooler, just about every semi has them on.

When I was driving Semis from Cairns to Townsville and back, I had a veisa on the roof, and It worked well, but if it was Hot AND Humid, then you had to put ice in the water bottle, or you just got real damp. On the dry hot nights it worked well and didn't drain the battery!!!!

Which ones Alan? the camper type or coach type? I've done Ok with Kalina air, mike is awesome, and the stuff is indestructable with good bits, not cheap chinese stuff, spal fans, copper evaps all the good stuff. QTK has some great stuff, I've never found steel on anything I've bought from them...

Hey Andrew, you guys don't have trouble with the body mount behind the cab? Every truck (and that about 15) that I've had with a flexi sock set up has either sheared the bolts, elongated the holes or cracked frame or chassis. I ended up with the dry friction mounts, like an ice cream cone, being...

That is actually pretty well discounted from RRP. You should see some of the quotes I've gotten from people who hate doing one offs!!!!!! I'm an ali fan, not many like doing them in Ali, but some of the prices are just>>>>>>>>OUt THERE!!!, steepest quote I've got for a 14 seater canter was 420K...

Don't buy anything ex Fraser Island......

CIG locker worked on Fraser Island on a Lazy axle, just couldn't leave the island.....

Cool Dog!!!

Hino Cars Last of them that I know of Hino 4x4 converted to 4x2 burnout truck

Nothing is impossible, how far are you willing to go?

Hey Pete, That looks like one of the gold coasters that TP Oceania ran here when Baz was in charge. Baz reckons he got rid of them at the right time, Ours (649) are about to clock up the 400 sometime this year, and I can still make them pay. Would certainly be an interesting proposition, they...

Ahhh, the old oil damper, loved them for Fraser, 3-6 months and chuck em!!! (the ones on the left!!) Yours look pretty serious there john, how good is the warranty ;-)

Hi guys, I can tell you that the Bilstiens failed miserably, And the dimensions of travel are the same as the Pedder, or Gabriel shock (maybe there was 2-3mm more on the bilstien) What I can tell you is that 1 Shock per corner is enough, The spring does most of the work. In the case of a Coil...

Hi Alan,Yeah, they are the typical mass produced stuff with a bit of beef about them. They do fade after some Cape Corrugations at, what we call, Marketings impossible Itinerary speed, at about 15 minutes. There is very little that can handle the heat, but the foam cell seems to do OK. I was...

There is the truth, but for light trucks, you cannot go past foam cell track ryders, I'll get the part numbers I use from Pedders when I get back to the W/shop (sick with Flu). Pedders Last longer than any other I've used, and are more suited to heavy loadings as you suggest. I may even suggest...

I HATE bilstiens, they sold me 4 to put on our canter to do Cape York, told me about lifetime warranty blah blah, best shocks in the world blah blah and ALL failed within 1/2 a season. They wanted me to send them from Cairns to Sydney for "repair" which wasn't under warranty (thier discretion)...

I'd go Sikaflex, and then where you join the 2 ends of the rubber sock together, I'd go loctite 402. You can get both from coventry fasteners near whitworths on hartley street.

Hi Alan, I'm looking to fit them on my fleet, as we had our springs done (extended) and with previous experience using them on an M.A.N., they allow axle articulation where as the sway bar tries to limit it. As you travel along the telegraph track on Cape York Peninsula, With a sway bar, the...

Awesome pics Andrew, I thought it was like Dakar or something. Your truck looks great, and tell Hans his is just as impressive for me!!!
