    VOLVO TGB Expedition Camper

    I have, here's the location: http://forum.terrangbil.net/forum_posts.asp?TID=3556&PN=1&title=terrncamper It's the swedish forum for Volvo terrängbilar. I have posted the direct link to my thread. Just look for the pics of the servo (I think it's on page 4...) It would be very hard to fit an...

    VOLVO TGB Expedition Camper

    Exactly like before. The EPS offers so little resistance that you cannot tell the difference. I tried it. That's why we kept the original steering wheel. And because it's original...

    I haven't. I think they where in some BJ42's or 45's... Just what I read on the interweb... :-) Yep, we got them in the 90 series but they where fitted in Hiluxes, Surfs, Hiaces, Dynas and 70 series as well. Well you have been through the same process a I have. And its great that it has...

    Well you have to remember this is a truck made to weigh more than 3.5 tonnes. And everything here that weighs more than 3.5 T may not drive above 80 km/h. The original gearbox behind the Volvo straight-six has a 1.1 ratio in top gear. The R150F behind the 1KZ-T is 1:0.83 in top gear. When i...

    That's exactly what I'm afraid of! We are putting brand new instrumentation in. One of the reasons is that the truck is 24 volts originally. But the Toyo engine is 12 volts. And since the original speedo cable doensn't fit the Toyo gearbox we are getting brand new VDO instruments. They have an...

    Well we agree, that's for sure! I hadn't seen your reply... I'm looking forward to the quote on how much the 11/R16 costs.

    yes, it is a C303 in 6x6. But the wheel pattern does'nt match anything made by any others. the axles are made by Volvo and cannot be comaired to Unimog portals. So unless you mean adapting Unimog axles for the specific Volvo pattern they will not fit. I have also looked at 20" wheels also...

    I've talked twice with Michelin and they've promised to call back which hasn't happened... They don't even have them in their catalogue so the customer service guy had to do some research to find out what I was talking about! I've been on UK and German ebay and found a single set of 20" and...

    The problem is finding XZL 11R16... About the load rating, we plan on max. 3.5 tonnes overall. So we don't have to be concerned about the load rating of the Procomps. The distance between the rear axles is 105 cm or 41.3" so the XZL 335/80R20 with a diameter of 40.7" will be cutting a bit too...

    My dream tire is the XZL 11/16! But hard to come by though... The reason for going bigger than standard is the diesel engine... The rims are a one-off for the Volvo TGB series. The bolt pattern is 8 x 222,2mm. So if we bust a rim somewhere besides Sweden its a major problem... I know about...

    Still scouring the web... Is it just me or is it really hard to find relatively narrow tires in the 38" region that fits 16" wheels...?

    Thanks! I like the 38" gearing. It fits the diesel engine nicely (I hope!) I have looked at the Simex but they look (I hate myself for saying it) too agressive for expedition use.

    Best expedition tyre? Hi All Well the title almost says it all, and then not by a long shot! A good expedition tyre can be a lot of things, especially dependent on type vehicle it has to sit on. My problem is finding something for our Volvo TGB13. I would love to have Michelin 11/R16 but...
