comfort DZZZ, the tires are much more than needed capacity wize, front axle weight is 5500 lb and tire max is 5200 each, I am running with 40 lb air, I know the tires should give more but was really hoping the suspension would do more . Ah finally got a pic to work

comfort here's a pic in Neys Provincial Park, cant seem to get the size right , sorry

fg comfort I just returned from a 8,225 km half way across Canada trip in my 140 FG 2007 and here are some comfort comments; harsh still! I installed Aons in the front and National air seats but still had some bad head slams into the roof. I am definately going to do a suspension upgrade...

fuel consumption I have just finished an 8,225 km trip from Vancouver, british Columbia, to Lake Superior, Ontario, and over all mpg was 16.7 imp, 5.85 km/litre. The faster you go , the more you use is the theme for these un-aerodynamic trucks. Was approximately 10,500 lb's with single rear...

dont think for a minute that we didnt notice the duct tape covering ____??? Maybe the check engine light??

looks like a great rip, but what is the deal with those wheels? Can someone explain why so many bolts? My guess is split rims but there must be a hundred pounds of bolts on each wheel.

aeons Kerry, I think that you are now our prime candidate to evaluate these aeons for ride comfort. I see that the space between the bump stop and axle are so small that if more wheel travel with the aeons should work? I look forward to getting some feedback once you get them installed if you...

just for the topic, national truck seats have air seats too, I just purchased 2 and they are around $650 and up. Like the Hackney ones, a little tricky to fit but are here in NA. I ordered them before I got much weight on the deck and now I am not 100% sure that I needed them. The ride has...

Also I have never seen a factory box, is there one?? But i would sure look into making a camper out of a normal box, especially when its done its flexing about. Just have to mount cabinets etc loosely so they dont break. Making a one off box is alot of work!

remote central locking hey Watcharterboat , what do you mean by "remote central lockin"?? Door locks or diffs?

sika 252 I gotta put my 2 cents worth. I did not use any rubber or spacing at all and my gap stayed constant. What I did was use the provided nozzles that had two components to it, 1 - a vee that built up a pyramid like shape on top of the blob of sika that you lay out with the other component...

252 I concur with heating it up, or warming it up. Also it doesnt have much play time so you have to get it on there fairly quickly, thats where using the sausages and a proper applicator (gun) would come in handy. I just used a standard cartridge and caulk gun and went like hell. Get it...

great pictures, but this one weirds me out. Are you really that close and teetering on the edge??

Lpg thanks Bandicoot for all your insights and comments, they are thought provoking and a good read. But,,, I personaly dont understand the dangers of LPG, I mean I do, but all fuel is volatile in its own way, otherwise it wouldnt be fuel, the way it is handled obviously is key. In all my...

stock wheels were removed, 16" wheels , tires, cant remeber, new rims 19.5x 8.25 with 285 70 R19.5

Hi Haven, I need to clarify what you see, I was attempting to post some pics but it didnt work out as planned, the pics with snow are the before pics with duellies, the night pic (from last night cause they finished mounting them in the dark) is now with singles. I went with the larger rims for...

wheels tires Hmmm, how did I get those attachments on there?? well I guess it sorta worked. A couple more http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=38539&stc=1&d=1268329897 size difference, crap that didnt work ...

new wheels and rims just got my stockton wheels mounted with michelin XDE2+ tires, very nice change to the ride, very smooth and not lumpy like the original yoko's. The size of the tir initialy freaked me out, I wasnt sure they would fit, but they did. i am going to try posting some pics. see...

wheels Thanks for the info Lehel, I was also wondering what all the SRW converters havedone with their original wheels and tires, mine have a grand total of 1000km's on them and I dont have any plans for them, what has everyone else done with them?:confused: Yves

stockton wheels I have just recieved my order from stockton for the second time. The first time they were delivered stockton didnt bevel both sides of the bolt holes, I sent them back and 3weeks later got them again and noticed a couple of new stickers on them; 1st ;" NO WARRANTY ON POWDER...
