Well , here you go Folks a Video of using my recovery tracks in a sandy river bed. I've left a long lead in to the video as it shows a good example of the front diff centre working (also supplied by Alan). I could have driven around this soft patch as you will see by the other tyre tracks but...

Double clutching under load can often get you into 1st without grinding (yes at walking pace ) but most times it is a full stop. Dan.

Well the day is here. My sister (Candy) turned up this afternoon and we are of to Townsville tomorrow and will be leaving there on Monday the 10th to head to the top. All going well we will do a trip report in 5 or 6 weeks. Dan.

"Just do it" we all want to see how it goes then. Dan.

Myself, I'm of the opinion that there is something else going on. Do the wheels spin true on the vehicle when it is jacked up. Should never have happened. Got to be another problem. Dan.

Not absolutely sure but yes I believe in the same time frame. I knew of two others that were in use at the same time as my brother's on pineapple farms used for hauling one ton pine bins around. These were in the area south of Gympie so there may have been even more in the Nambour area. Dan.

They were a really great Jeep. My brother had one for many years as a tray back. Was a good work horse. Dan.

Great photos, just gotta love it. Beautiful country. Dan.

I say that both of these answer are right. I've not had a problem and yes you can't put the beads that I use through the valve stem. Talking to the "Tip Top" tyre rep they sell tyre sand to balance tyres (can be put in through the stem with valve removed) and can supply a special valve that has...

Run around in the mud and there wouldn't be any white lettering for long. Dan.

Looking good, keep them coming. Welcome to world of 4x4 Trucks and enjoy our great country. Dan.

Love to see some pics that is for sure and a trip report would be nice as well. Dan.

Looks good. A great start to another camper. Dan.

My tray is bolted solid to the chassis (both on top of step and along rear rails) at 282,000Klms. This is the way that the body builder made it, it is also a very large body building company. Now I don't say that it is right but it is that way. I use my Canter off road (I would be at close to my...

Yes I air down and up regularly and have never had a problem. You can't put the beads that I'm using in through the valve stem and have to break a bead to put them in. There is also a special valve available that has a filter end on it that is suppose to stop even "tyre sand" from being a...

Who would have thought milk crates, they seemed to work well and fold up small. Great idea. Dan.

I'm seeing no marking on the inside of my aluminium rims as centrifugal force holds them out in the tyre. The only time that they may hit the rim is when we are stopping and then I believe that will still stay out there as the wheel is slowing and just grouping together. I'm seeing a lot more...

It is the amount that you put in and not the brand that makes the difference. Recommendation is 1oz per 10lbs of tyre or part there of (72lb tyre gets 8ozs). But and there is always a but if your rim is a long way out of balance you may need more and if it's warped then nothing is going to...

My locking fuel cap. Dan.

They can get in the way when off roading. I've had mine hit the ground a few times on some angles of approach. Dan.
