I gotta find one first Mickster, Been argueing with my boss over John's bosses price!!! Oka is close to 50K cheaper!!!

I've taken an interest in them, only because of the Cummins/Allison set up. Air disc are a bonus also. No tilt cab is a downside, but Bae make good stuff (axles, transfer). Waiting on them to arrive in Cairns for another company so I can have a look!

haven't had a good look at the new model, only took it for a drive when they had it at Cairns, Some drivers don't like the cable shift. They were on the old FTS that i had on Fraser and can take some getting used to (but it was also a very old truck). It was great to catch up with Paul again, I...

Correct Kerry, and I hate the bloody things. Hey John, does the transfer case selector cable still rub on the front cross member? and hows my quote going?:drool:

I'll get you started, 1. Greaseable centre bearing on NPS/NA on FG 2. Tubeless on NPS/ split rims on FG 3. Cableshift selectors on NPS/ Linkage on FG 4. as a "general" rule , drivers like FG, mechanics like NPS

I think you'll find that the rear section of the chassis is thinner then the "goose neck", most of the broken back Canters here have done in the rear section, which is fairly cheap, as alot of the write offs have been front ended. Which equates to an abundance of good back ends around. Also they...

At a quick glance, she looks to have had her back broken, and yo can thank the bloody 4mm chassis for that.......

My take on it is that our foot print is long, not wide. Process of natural selection has to stand for something. The rolling diameter is everything. There are alot of old sayings that the forestry workers used on the island, You can make thin tyres fat, but you can't make fat tyres thin. Let's...

Nice tyres... Chunky!!!!!

On a quick note, diff locks front and rear and your machine should go everywhere you want it to. I did do extended trips with 13 people for 2 weeks in Cape York Australia, with a 6x4 toyota. Sorry it wasn't a Rover, but i did drive 6x6 rovers on Fraser island.

I generally find mine getting done at 200k-250k, depends on who's been driving.

Private use i'd say original, Commercial i'd say 2nd clutch.

I knew i had photos

Thanks Mick, great work mate!! It's a 6x4 tourer made by either Pierce engineering or Coerts in Noosa. It looks like the old model, which is discernable by the roof shape, the newer models had a 100mm height added above the windscreen. They were famous along with the arkana and preferred until...

Would i be asking too much for a pic Mick? ;)

Did anyone else notice the 6 stud wheels? Does anyone know if they are interchangable with Isuzu? BTW John, don't forget Alan's question........ :)

What colour?

Good luck finding one, they are all in six wheeler heaven!! Last one that i know of that was operational was on Fraser island nearly 10 years ago!!

as-salted vehicles are bound to be trouble :ylsmoke:

How's this for a real OZ made expedition vehicle, the original six wheel drive Arkana, chassis by multidrive (vic), body by Arkana(w.a.). These could not be beaten, except for the maintianence bill!!!!!
