Yes shafts/adapters would be able to be made to fit up some other transfer case but you will need to do it. Would the earlier gearbox fit up to that motor? It's all buildable if you want to go there. Dan.

Here you go right way. Sorry I hate sideways photos, Dan.

Sure is. Dan

Fuel economy certainly has improved, as said in earlier post down to 15.2L/100 on some sections and an overall improvement. If by chance you wanted to sit on 90/95Kph I bet you would see a massive improvement but I never tried it. Dan.

Finally had time to do the visual inspection on the gears by removing the side plate of the transfer case. AND all good, oil is still clean with no debris on the magnetic plug. Checked the back lash on the gears while I had side of. Okay pricing :- Gears...

Well it is true Green is better. We replaced the shackle bushes (with green ones) on Candy's Canter before our last trip and they have come through with flying colours. Haven't had to replace any but on mine I had a mix of types and needed to replace one on the trip. Dan.

Not good practice to just run 12v from one battery (24V SYSTEM) unless you are using a battery balancer between them as you will wreck a the battery. You could use a 24v to 12v converter. Dan.

Great to see that finally something serious is being thrown at a Canter. Love to be there when it is happening. A standard vehicle is what we need not a race special because that is what most of us run. Maybe not quite standard but you know what I mean. Going to be great, Dan.

For duals you can possibly get away with 900/16s as long as you don't deflate. 8.25/16 may be alright if not to much air is let out. I'm running 325/75x16 on the front and they don't interfere with the guards (but i am lifted a bit). 9.00/16 are just a bit smaller than 3.25/75x16. Dan.

Well where are the vidoes !!!! Any use is use and it will be more than others have posted. Dan.

Well you can't go on a trip without getting a little stuck. Story goes :- I was leading our group to a camp site along the beach and I reach a T intersection - CHOICE :- left or right, lets go left around the corner and straight down to the axle. No forward no backward (and yes I haven't let...

Yes mine is a td06. I believe that you have a boast compensator (but I could be wrong) and it sounds like you need to tweak it a bit. From what I'm reading you can control spool up as well by varying fuel at the right time. Now being computerized that may be a problem. Dan.

An Update. With our trip I had a good chance to make my turbo earn it's living and for the most part it did well. Especially on the highway. BUT and there is always a BUT. I've also got a problem that arises when we are poking along in top gear in the 1500/1750 Rpm range and get to a slight...

Looks like nice country to travel in and have a relaxing time. Just what the Canter has been made for. Dan.

An Update. We are back from our trip - speedo says 5413 klms (3,363 miles) for me. Candy will have traveled a bit further as she went back home to Yandina. About 60 hours in low range (in the range of 620K's / 385M's ). This was run over every type of terrain from climbing up steep/rocky tracks...

A bit of information. Our gearbox standard 5 speed is overdrive in 5th gear :- 0.0722 , 4th gear is direct drive. Our standard transfer box is :- High range - 1.090 so under drive , Low range - 1.987. My new gearing for transfer box is :- High range - 0.9166 , Low range - 2.0297. Dan.

We looked at changing axles assemblies or diff ratios but the problem with that is you also effect low range gearing (make it faster) and that was something I wasn't prepared to have. Therefore the only acceptable thing to do was regear high range and in the process end up with a lower ratio for...

I rolled it back onto it's wheels. Dan.

Next one is done, this time mine. Finished it up late this afternoon and had enough time to take it for a test run. All is going well. Candy came and picked her Canter up to get it cleaned and ready for our trip in 2 weeks time so another 400 odd Klms on it. She was saying it is good to drive...

Yes, they are had it. Looks like they have been hammered into submission. The other side bushes are probably not much better. Moving the steering to move the spring, who would have thought that (new to me). Dan.
