why not just get the Fg with all the unimog gear factory fitted?

Why ONLY North American Expo members???? We'd all love to get one I reckon.

I never doubted you guys, Congrats to all your team. Job well done.

Geez, I hope I didn't kill this thread, I was starting to get into it!!!

First things first, We need to find the ratio of reduction at rear diff to see if we can leave it insitu, and block it up (a-la-isuzu) if not then you will be up for 2 axles. I'd suggest the Timken axle out of the FSS as you could (don't know if you still can?) get free wheeling hubs for them...

With a "self install" I'd be more inclined to go with a rockwell transfer and GKN hub reduction axles. It is just easier with brake linings etc etc. and you'll have full air with s cam, not air over hydrualic. Big job for one though, how good are you with a welder, Lathe oxy and milling machine?

That's probably a good thing that I really never gave much thought. Anything to get off the 7.50 R16, hope she's all coming along nicely for you Wadey. Have you got any pics yet, or are you struggling to walk over your front lawn without breaking into freestyle or backstroke too???? Bloody Rain...

Didn't yours have the 825s on it?

G'day Tony, We tried the 825's on the 16" rims with some success, get Michelins if you can, they balance alot easier and stay balanced. The only Tyre we could find that wouldn't cut up on Cape York was a dodgy looking mud tyre made from, what I was told, was a natural Rubber compound??? Most are...

Hold on a minute, woo up there mate, Its only an Endless chain on the Engine crane on the ceiling of the shed, It is a big pain in the neck... Sorry to drag away from the Isuzu.......

Good move, just about every Prime mover that I've worked on/driven has the electric tilt. makes life easier, especially for a crew cab FG What a pain in the *** without it

Email sent, thanks Defenderbeam,I did try to PM you first, but it wouldn't work. Bloody Apple Macs......

Can I buy a set of Aeons from you as Timbren won't answer my emails..????

I have one with 330k still on its first clutch, I suppose about 30-40% was @ 6 ton with 2 ton of trailer behind it over Cape York roads. Issues so far have been, Selector cables for transfer case rubbing through on front cross member, Use of non genuine wheel cylinders lasting less than...

c'mon guys, we're not all like that.......

Sure do!!! Tell your South African mates it's no gimmick. Mick Barnes is from Longreach and he started the company 29 years ago. It is tradition that we do it everyday, somewhere on our tour.

Hey mate, don't get me wrong, I still love the OKA. But I've got to take into serious consideration issues such as, drivers who think it is a Paris-Dakar every time they drive, those brakes freak me out, with the thought of the calipers coming loose and a driver not recognising the symptoms. If...

Have you tried the old eccentric king pin bearing suggestion? But I tend to agree with old mate 67flat4, sounds like it could have issues.......

If Marcus is on the road, it could be a while..........

We saw it up here, Marcus came across as a fairly arrogant salesman. I thought they had the greatest opportunity to make the ultimate 4wd of all time, seems RFW retains his crown. Why they still use those bloody high maintenence Girling disc brakes is beyond me, the Auto cooler hasn't had much...
