    Front hub help

    Not normal. With both hubs locked you should not be able to turn the drive shaft either way (there will be a bit of slack either way). Wheels on the ground,Transfer case in 2wd. Yes you can undo the outer six phillip head screws on the hub and slip that section out. Unless they pulled the hub...

    4x4 How important

    Well then You better stay on the bitumen. I believe you have no sense of Adventure. I run nearly all dirt roads in 4WD as it is safer and better for the vehicle. Dan.

    4x4 How important

    Now you are spoiling all the fun, But yes it is possible to go fairly extreme if you want too. Don't quite agree with that as a lot of time you need to use 4WD to get where you want to go. But you do have to know the limits of you and your vehicle capabilities. We haven't been stopped yet...

    Introduction from another tragic

    I only run that sort of pressure when I'm fully loaded. Lightly loaded 40 in the front so I don't scrub out the edges, 35 in rear with not much load up to 60/65 in the rear depending on load. And then change front if needed. Real good ride with lower pressure. If you read my threads you will see...

    new recovery tracks for large offroad vehicles

    A canter will handle sand really well but like you say you have to air down quite a bit and with 19.5"s that is where you will probably have trouble. With my 16"s I would have no trouble going down to 20psi and lower if I was getting into trouble. Dan.

    FG's in Action

    That's what it is all about, getting out there and seeing beautiful country. Well done, love the pics and the video. Dan. PS :- These Canters have a sound all of there own and it is good to hear it coming down the road towards you. PSS :- My brother says it is great hearing it coming down...

    Diving in Head First!

    I mounted 3" rubber flares to the front of mine to stop the mud from getting thrown up over the cab. There are photos in my first Cape trip thread. Dan.

    THE TRIP - Cape York 2015

    I know it's been awhile but work and Computer not doing what its suppose too with my videos. The Frenchmans Track is not that hard a run when it is as dry as what it was but it is a narrow track and has a couple of great river crossings. One being the Wenlock and we had a play on the approaches...

    THE TRIP - Cape York 2015

    The Canter platform is very stable but like all vehicles momentum often takes us where we don't want to go. I can attest that the side angle that we can take it to is greater than your rear end can sit in the seat. This I have done and if the door wasn't there I would not have been and yes it...

    THE TRIP - Cape York 2015

    No dash cam footage, not even mine when I returned to the scene (I know be prepared and have it running) as I didn't have it running because we were only traveling on the road. As it stands I have driven it about 10 kilometers to bring it into the farm, as we unloaded beside the highway and it...

    THE TRIP - Cape York 2015

    The rest of the track out to the Development Road made its way through the trees with a few smaller climbs and descents and nearly all were rocky and a lot of fun. We camped for the night on the banks of the Little Laura Creek. My nephew left us here and made his way back home to Cairns. We had...

    I think they call that suspense. As you can see they are staggered and not a problem at all. Dan.

    THE TRIP - Cape York 2015

    Another climb on the Old Coach Road. This track is all man made with pick and shovel. On the first climb the ramp that we go up is all hand filled with rock batter on the sides to hold it together. The cuttings are carved out of solid rock and you can see where wagons and coaches have run their...
