Thanks Nick but hopefully I have sourced some out of Australia that will be here Monday.

Looks like Hal-E has a winner. I do have someone in Oz grabbing me some as well. Thanks guys. I was really scared that I would have to put a Rover part on the Freightliner and ruin its reliability forever. [emoji33]

The new filter will be the same color within a couple of weeks. What you really need to check for is any type of grit on the element. On one of my threads there is a write up about the in tank filters Ford uses and how to eliminating them. If you eliminate the in tank filters (a must do if you...

OK I have a need for self snugging (did I just invent a word or can I claim it is Australian) latches. We used these in Oz for everything. But I am struggling to find them here in the US. Any suggestions would be appreciated. What I am looking at these for is to latch up the bunk bed/bedding...

Great platform to build on. I will be keeping an eye on what you do here. I would of loved to get a crew cab 4x4 but they are as rare as rocking horse poop. And it is already costing me money. Talked to the guys at King shocks yesterday. Looks like some custom valves 2.5's will be heading my...

That's after fixing this little issue. Alternator mounting bolt trying to work its way out through the the belt.

Well another maintenance induced failure. Day before heading up toExpo and I decide to "fix" where they didn't bother attaching the wiring harness to the engine when it was changed. Now I have a truck that will not start. Main wiring harness looks like it may of been crushed when the installed...

Sorry I should of updated this earlier. They are sold.

That ute is one I have owned for over 20 years. Still sitting in AUS waiting for me. Only vehicle I didn't sell when I started working overseas. I keep thinking I will ship it over but after the comfort of the Freightliner it would be hard to go back to a Toyota cab.

How about a Tommy Gate type lift. Then you could use it as a deck out the back as well. And I dont think it will affect the departure angle or lack thereof.

There is an Isuzu on Phoenix craigslist that would suit what you need without the trailer.

$800 for 2 surplus axles and you only need to swap the punkins. I wish it was that cheap to regear my freightliner.

What about a M-1078. Cat engine, Allison transmission AWD CTIS and already here in the USA. They are currently governed at 58 but relatively easily regeared to a more reasonable US interstate speeds. And easily purchased for well under the cost of the European trucks and shipping let alone the...

I had Maaco do the old ambo. Color change and no body work plus I removed all the trim etc. Fair job or as we would call it in Oz "a five footer" (i.e. 5 feet before you could really notice the imperfections). Cost was either $1680 or $1860 (its a bugger being a dyslexic with old timers) From...

Sold and gone.

Yes check my for sale posting. And if you permanently mount a camper it can be converted to RV and no CDL required (actually I don't think CDL is required anyway its under the 26,000 lbs)...

Before heading to Baja I would suggest: 1- Ensuring you have a way to air up your tires reasonably quickly. These duallies tend to bury the front fairly easily and with all the people you have in there air and shovels will be your friend. Also test how hard it is to air down/up. I got caught...

Weekend bump. You know this is one upgrade the missus will appreciate.

Sold pending pickup and final payment
