I'll try and take some photos tomorrow and post up. Dan.

The first case has had its mods done and will pick up new bearings tomorrow. Candy's Canter will be the first on the blocks and should be done this weekend. Can't wait should be good. Dan.

Urethane or Nolathane bushes are available but still don't last very long. I replace after every good trip as they all split from the twisting of the front axle. The original rubber ones just squeeze out. I buy bulk lots to try and get the price down but not by much, they seem to be gold...

This is mine it is made out of a Landcruiser hub nut spanner and a couple of pieces old allen key (hex key). Dan.

I know what that is like, all I can say is keep at it you will get there. Dan.

There here. As some of you may know I took my Canter for a test drive to try out my Turbo and in the process pick up my new transfer case gears. New gears on the right of pairs (that puts old gears on left). Am now organizing getting the mod done on the case. Should be good. Dan.

I myself doubt you will see that type of wear on the rear, it is normal wear on front tyres that have block tread. Caused by the way the wheel leans going around corners (from caster and camber) and can really be noticed if you travel a lot of roundabouts on the inner side wheel/outer edge. Also...

I see boast anywhere from 1500 RPM but is very relative to load. If cruising on the flat I will see very little boast but start putting the nose up hill and feeding more accelerator it climbs steadily. It doesn't have a waste gate so more boast is gained by more fuel which I will be adding...

Well we have it all together but no exhaust brake at this stage as I'm having a few problems scoring one at the right price but we keep looking. Time to take it for the first test run out on the road. I've opened the fuel on the pump one turn as a start. I need to go to Brisbane to pick up my...

Look what I found. Should be a nice machine. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/warnbro/cars-vans-utes/2007-mitsubishi-canter-fg649-4wd/1115583061 Dan.

Beautiful country and thanks for the pics. Keep them coming that is some of this country that I still have to travel. Dan.

An update to finish of the thread. It has been on the road for a few weeks now and all is going well. I have done every test that I can think of, tested the electricals, brakes. aircon. Did a high speed 4WD run (85/90Kph) on newly graded dirt road, a low range run up the hill. Only one other...

This is what I'm working on and the gearcutter said that I should have them this week. Need to fit them for our trip to the Cape and if successful will make them available. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/157370-Canter-Regearing Dan.

Not hard to make in a Lathe and you should have your fuel tank breather extended already as it will take water in on river crossings situated where it is. Dan.

Finished the welding on the pipes except the tail of the exhaust (still waiting for my exhaust butterfly) and the water and oil lines sorted. All the hoses have their clamps fitted. AND we had the first test run. Only a short run just to make sure that we don't have any leaks in the water or oil...

Sounds good, it will make so much difference. Dan.

Well I am still at it. All the pipe work is worked out and tack welded together. Had to change a few things from what I thought would fit but that's the way this sort of a project goes. Removed the sump today to fit in the return line from the turbo. Dan.

I have left my bump stops as standard so as to get as much articulation of the front axle as possible. Don't know if it ever hits on them (never really looked) but we often have it standing on just one front wheel. For front shocks I'm running Rancho 9000's these are adjustable (9 settings) and...

Got mine, turned up in the "Land Down Under" (Australia) today. Looks good I'm sure it will get a workout when we do our Cape trip in the beginning of August. Dan.
