G'day Tony, What did you do for suspension upgrade? I would be interested for a personal vehicle!

For the bullbar lovers, Worn out at Lakeland Downs, well not quite, but well on it's way!!

Yeah mate, that's the one. Typical Japanese suspension, still using wwII technology. But they are getting better, Sorry about the short Hijack guys, back on topic.......

Done 2500klms over rough roads (cape York Australia) in an FTS in 3 days, and my wife hated every minute of it. If you are doing low klms per day, then you wont have a problem. Just don't expect the lady to get exited about big distance little time.......

I like the welding gloves! ;-)

G'day John, I was actually talking about the passenger seating eye level. In one of our 6 wheelers, the eye line of sight is right in line with the bar across the top of the windscreen. It was a bit of a failure on my behalf, as now the foward vision of 6 passengers is severly comprimised.

It was my understanding that the parent company of Fuso, Damiler chrysler were going to run adblue like their distant cousins in Euro land.

Where does the module eye level end up with a straight chassis? I didn't think it was an issue with the FTS or MAN, but with the smaller NPS, it always seemed to be inline with the cab roof. We used to sling the Canter as low as we could humanly go by utilising the goose neck. Just love a...

G'day John, Only 100mm? that (according to my calculations) would only give a 12.7% rebound decrease. I think you guys have got it right. (other than unimog, but good luck with spare parts and insurance at a reasonable cost.)

I can recommend the long leaf suspension, one of the companies has had alot of success with it on Cape York. Will be interesting to see the new package though....

1. Can't comment on power, haven't driven either loaded... 2. As bad as each other, get John to do a conversion. 3. Leaning towards Isuzu there.....

Welcome Oz, hope you like it here. I've noticed the NPS has the same spacer blocks over the rear axle as the FTS. whilst it has never given me trouble, it is something that i don't really like. But then I had a bad habit of breaking U bolts..........

4X4 Canter from National Parks at Chillagoe.

It's funny that i never really saw it as "American". As we recently had the U.S.S. Essex dock in Cairns with all the Marines, I suppose I got used to the americanisms. BTW, you guys over the pond can be proud of your Marines, they are the nicest and most courteous of any armed force that has...

Brown paper bag mate, we live in Queensland!!!!

:d

Thanks for sponsoring the place too mate, please pass my appreciation on to Paul & Wendy.

Noone of the flash techno exhaust on the FG!!!! (until 2011)

I can't win, does anyone have any info on how to convince someone that the lowest quote is not the one you should go with? I'm beating my head against a brick wall.....
