Technically we have the steering wheel on the RIGHT side and drive on the wrong side of the road
and i say that cause most numpty car drivers dont know where the gutter is
consoles roof and floor all hand made
thick carpet liner under ski boat carpet deadens the noise a tad
good stereo with lots of speakers - loud music cant hear the truck at all
thats the FG 07 hub
bugga'd if i know how you snapped it
all the force of a sudden engagement or disengagement would be taken by the gears
whats the state of the bearings
looks like the only thing that could deliver a good whack enough to shatter the centering plate would be sufficient play in...
and what owen failed to mention was run it through an isolation switch
because in some places your DRL's are supposed to go off when you turn your headlights on
plus it helps when you get law enforcement that dont know the law and want to fine you for having them on

easier said owen
i make sure there is sufficient room between me and the vehicle in front

means jumping...
Im sort of testing the market
for the most part it sits on the driveway unless im towing the boat
and i can do that with a cheapo 4wd ute

Im seriously looking at the future of my 07FG
its not quite the whole walk in camper thing but has all the facilities (power, water,air etc)
we used it to drag our van round aus for a few years and it served well as a camper in remote areas
now it sits in the driveway and just tows the...
I find they work well
if they dont stop em they at least slow em down
9 out of 10 items hit the wire so its a good investment

It looks like my travelling days are over and im destined to spend the rest of my life paying the mortgage I never wanted
with 2 bikes and a car the canter isnt getting the sort of use it should apart from the occasional run to the hardware store and boat ramp
So im tossing up its future
If...
large heavy van and every thing we own
dragged it round aus for 8 years

Ask alan what sort of woes can be faced when you buy an old maintenance truck
the thing about company work trucks, you always drive them like they belong to someone else
I note that alans threads have disappeared from the forum
I did note that some of the posts relating to the trax he had developed were for some reason scrubbed from his project build thread
not sure if this is a free speech issue. (funny old term free speech)
it would be a pity to think that...

"FREE"
