Ram post. You can change height to what you want and bring it closer or further away. I use it to mount my Surface Pro3 but there are a lot of different holders to suit what ever you want. It is bolted to the floor and as you can see it has a stainless plate to help stabilize it that is bolted...

Actually that makes a lot of sense because the weight is coming of the top tyres just before rollover. Need to remember that. Dan.

You got it. There should be a little red ring in there that floats on the water but not the diesel at the separation layer to indicate water level. Dan

FG649 and 637/9 are the same gearbox and transfer case and you are correct in saying that we have 5th gear as overdrive in our gearboxes, But our transfer cases are then underdriven in high range. So there goes the overdrive advantage. Saving on fuel cost is real if a lot of normal road mileage...

I'll chime in here as well. Another nice pic. I operate bulldozers regularly in steep country so I know what steep side slopes are, where you are hanging onto the seat by your ar***ole. My Canter has been very close to that because I had the same effect on the Canter seat. Now there are a lot of...

This is something that I looked at and could not find an overdrive box (Joey Box) that was suitable without being too large and weighty and not having to stretch the chassis by at least 50cm (20") or more. So this is way that I went :-...

If it is a FG639 then no it shouldn't happen. Never ever happened to my FG637 So yes it has gotten water into one of the junction boxes by the sounds of it. Yes, getting yourself a little bow wave going and staying steady on the accelerator is a good thing. Most people hit the water to fast...

That's not a bad depth of water, but when it reaches the tray height and looks like it will get into the Camper then I start to worry. Dan

Also a breather on the top of the fuel tank which should be extended. Dan.

This I had when the exhaust brake butterfly on mine (Canter) was sticking. Example :- driving along with accelerator down - release accelerator - exhaust brake comes on - put foot on accelerator to give it some power but exhaust brake doesn't go off straight away and releases a couple of seconds...

Like Gait says to many unknowns to give all the answers. Model of Canter is important as to whether it is computer related or not. My guess will be water in the fuel tank through the breather and now filter system, that would possibly be a 10 mile run. Dan.

Idle is easy. Does it have Aircon and is it on - they are setup with fast idle for this. Turn it off and idle should ease back. Is the hand throttle turned right back. If they aren't the problem than lift the cab and follow to where the cable runs to the fuel injector pump and there will be an...

I've bought from " Treestuff ". The sell Samson Rope at what ever length you want. Dan.

Nothing wrong with it - just needs a lot of love. Dan.

I believe the nuts are on the right way - As my Dad had a Series 2 Land Rover and the wheel nuts were double chamfered as in both sides of the nuts and you could fit them either way. Anyway very good report. I'm loving the photos, Dan.

Shoes wear out - my feet haven't worn out in the 21 odd years (choke - okay, quite a few more than that) I've been using them. Dan.

This overhang rule is calculated at 60% of the wheel base and then measured from the centre of the rear wheels to the end of overhang. Just for information, Dan.

Build a 50mm receiver into the steel work behind the Bullbar possibly in line with the chassis rail and a hole in the bar for it to go through. Then buy a normal Recovery Piece (Hitch Receiver) that will fit into the receiver and pin into place. This can be removed when not really needed in...

That's my thoughts as well. I'll store my own files please and process on my computer. Dan.

What are others thoughts. I've often wondered in the situation of a rollover whether it would be possible to cut a tree/log and chain it at right angles to the chassis to be used as a lever. Some notching and the like would need to be done so that it could be fitted snug to the chassis. With...
