Green has just gotta be better. Dan.

I'm sure I will be giving them a workout on our next trip and hope to come up with more video. Dan.

Certainly is a job you can do yourself along the side of the road if need be. I use a jack that is fairly short that I put in front of axle on top of the spring and up against the chassis. A little pressure on the jack so you can pull the pin (after undoing). One half will probably come out with...

Looking good. Certainly couldn't have put those wheels in a better place. Yep spare wheel carrier on the back. Keep at it, You will get there. Dan.

Hi Steve, These bushes don't last well. I wouldn't say from too much grease but yes it looks like it is falling apart normal as I see it. For me it is caused by the joint twisting and fatiguing the bush, can possibly be from getting hammered on corrugations. I carry spares with me. I would say...

Your 825r16 are a smaller diameter than my 315/75x16 so smaller than 35's. Dan.

I hope not as that is where I'm thinking of going. Dan.

I've put another three hundred odd kilometers on Candy's Canter and still going well. This is all high range work as it is mostly highway and in town. Major low range try out will be on our trip and yes I have tried it but it will get a real workout then. Driving now it has no problem with...

The cable needs to be in a straight line with the winch drum so the cable doesn't bunch up on one side. saying that you could angle the winch at the mount position to face the left side block and achieve the same thing but then you would have trouble pulling out back. If the mount is solid...

What I will be fitting is a Donaldson G082525. Nearly twice the surface area of the original filter. It will be fitted in the original position as the old one but the top will be a little higher. Dan.

So as not to interfere with the other thread I'll post here with my rear mounted winch. The winch is fitted above the chassis rails facing forward, the next time I would lower it in between the rails. The way it is fitted I can pull a loop of the drum and double line out the rear using a pulley...

It would be totally different with Super singles (big 16's), sand is not a problem with mine (the extra HP I've gained will help). Faster Gearing is in test stage. Dan.

Let us run them for our up coming trip to at least prove them. After that I will put it all in a post. For our trip we will have 2 FG637 Canters that have been regeared and at this stage I believe 1 FG649 Canter (standard gearing) which we will be a good comparison. And an older Nissan Patrol...

MY thoughts are that the filter is very restrictive and is one of the next mods that I do. And saying that I all ready have the new filter setup sitting in the shed waiting for me to fit but that is not going to happen before this trip. Dan.

I took a run into town today to drop the next case off. It is a run of better than 100k's there and back, so a highway run and then around town. On the highway it runs at 100Kph very easy now and not having to push the accelerator pedal to the floor, in fact I had to watch that I wasn't...

It was on 3000rpm at 100kph now it is on 2500rpm. The rest at this stage we will have to wait and see, but here's hoping. Dan.

First one is done. Finished just before dark but still had time to take it for a quick run and yes you do notice that it takes a little more to get rolling off at the start. May have to use 1st gear at times to take off. We have dropped 500 Rpms at 100 K's which is what I was chasing so I got...

I know colour makes no difference it just happens this new lot is green and what you say about hardness and being brittle is right. Dan.

Great report, Loved the pics. Certainly beautiful country. Dan.

I found the Nolathane ones that I used to be very brittle as in they broke into small pieces I believe for constant working. The best run that I've had has been from Urethane bushes that are blue in colour. The new lot that I've just received are green so may be better. Bought from :-...
