I had the same concerns and made up a slider rail along the edge of my roof. After spending some time in among the tree branches I saw that some protection was definitely needed and saw that if you could just get something to raise the branches up and over the truck it would protect against...

well its only in the annoying category while it still comes unstuck, I had different visions in my mind prior to that and they weren't so appealing! Inside the housing there is a lot of rust as I too live and a moist environment and I guess all the particles get moved around in there and get...

Me too! Just sorted this issue out yesterday..... I had the same problem as the OP had and it took me a bit longer to figure out the problem but here was what I found: 1. Clutch not working, look at fluid, watch clutch master bending the mounting metal a bit so it is operational. 2. Under...

Hey! if you are going to be anywhere near the Vancouver area you can drop in for a visit, we are 50km's from Vancouver in Abbotsford and have several acres that you can camp on if you want, have a good trip, whats your route like?

Is the upgrade to the three inch pipe for future other upgrades or do you guys find an increase in power from only the increased diameter of pipe?

Keep in mind Owen that it appears that here in North America we are not given a shred of tire changing gear at all! I have some straps where a jack or irons might be stored but there is no evidence of it ever being there, I speculate and have heard that it is due to legal issues and supposes...

Thanks guys, I knew about ATW shackles and John gave me a contact at ATW USA but I recently called them and I didnt get a good response from them as in not much interest or knowledge about what I was looking for. I might try again and try EC also, nothing on the EC web site though, just...

But then you could drive to a dock, unload the container off the truck, drive the truck into the container and ship it off somewhere for extended travel!

Any one swapped out their front shackle bushings for aftermarket polyurethane bushes in North America? The OEM ones are pretty much crap. Where did you get them from?

I do this except not using solar directly as my motor is a high thrust unit but I use a deep cycle battery and have two solar panels strapped on the boat to recharge the battery. I am not always using the motor so it gets charged progressively even when not in use. I dont use a controller as I...

Ha! yeah right, that sounds like me for sure! No, only one was slower than the rest and ended up cutting as much wire as I could to speed it up, its still slightly slower than the other three actuators. I did start with those wires exactly the same length, very ghetto but works well, is...

Nope, not undersize the wire as in diameter but just increase or decrease the length, you know have voltage drop increase or decrease.

Sorry for the late reply on this.......the actuators are pretty simple, Firgelli Automations are where they are from and they have many lengths and weight options available, the only issue I had was the lower rated ones after several years use would start to "wind down" and not hold the roof up...

Concerning the roof, having the roof similar to what it was but with some subtle changes like still keep it where one end tilts up and use westfalia hinges to get that extra 8 inches or so of the roof rising at the hinge point to gain extra room inside, fabric on the outside again similar to the...

crap, just missed you by a week, I was up that way the weekend before, will you be mounting the shelter on the truck? Kind of a mess up there with all the logging and Run of The River projects.

I am surprised that it hasn't been brought up before but while travelling about in Washington state I met a fellow who had an FG and had some type of Spicer transfer case installed that gave him several more gears which included top end gears, I didn't get much of a chance to have a look or get...

Personally for me that pressure is much too high, I used a Michelin tire chart for my specific tire I found online but the chart didn't really didn't go as low as I needed for my weight so I interpolated the graph to come up with some numbers, 58 psi for the rears and 48 front on pavement and...

I have to agree with this totally, looks like way too much pressure in those tires. Can you confirm that this is a rear tire? If it is the rear it would make sense as the limited slip will add to the wear on gravel. I do see many people run around with only 2x engaged and would recommend even...

Mike, very sorry to hear all this bad news! I am very bummed out with the whole thing but it certainly is a reminder to everyone that it takes an incredible amount of time, money and work to complete any kind of project like this and particularly it takes persisitance to carry it out to...

Geeze that thing is expensive! No Thule racks down there?
