Lightforce 240's
I prefer the XGT but ended up with the Blitz
HID's would be nice but at over a grand not what I consider value for money
plus they look good and lets face it isnt that why most of us spend heaps on huge driving lights !!
Ben
Fully booted and spurred with 100l water, 300l fuel, 2 boats, motorbike and everything we own
we come close to 9 tonne (3.5 van - 5.5 truck)
on average we burn about 18 - 20 litres per 100Km
thats about the same as a 4.2 landcruiser with van in tow
except Im about 4 tonne heavier
Some 150 Km's of extremely good dirt road east of Karratha lies Millstream / Chitchester national park
its a small oasis in what will eventually all be dug up for iron ore
The NP has some really well appointed camp sites and with the Fortescue river running ********** through the middle makes an...
came across another mobile mountain in the millstream national park
this beast in the guise of a Suzu 300 belongs to Vic & Di
Vic wasnt aware of the forum - but he is now!! (I should be on a commision or somthing :victory:)

my local tyre dealer in Perth also balances 16" LT wheels cause he's got the right size cone to suit the rim centre
But since I lost a wheel weight off my front right steer tyre comming out of Mt Augustus above 90 K my steering vibrates all over the place
Ive tried to get it re balanced since...
Have been looking at getting new front tyres on the truck
and was suprised to find out that outside of metropolis not many tyre dealers actually balance anything bigger than a car tyre
Then I came accross DYNABEADS
good concept and has some good feedback on motorcycle forums
they also have a...

Only yesyterday I walked along the beach at Karratha and saw somthing similar on a trailer being towed by a landcruiser.
I though that would look great on the back of a cab chassis
Pete you must have read my mind
That is one cool truck / boat thingy
well by the look of the weather forecast you could be in for a soggy time in Carnarvon, that should make the road out to Mt Augustus a tad more interesting. Give those big tyres something to bite into
Just wondering if you're passing through dampier in the next couple of weeks
We pulled into Karratha today staying at Cleaverville beach
plan to stick around for about 3 weeks so we can do millstream, point sampson and all the other touristy bits
plus Ive gotta get front tyres - this is the...
We are at the moment in a caravan park at Carnarvon awating better weather (gale force wind/heavy rain forcast) to travel on into the Kennedy Ranges and Mt Augustus.
Adrian I cant believe your in Carnarvon already did you hang around long enough to do the whale shark swim?
Its taken us 4 days...
After leaving Exmouth and some 120 k of desert road later we spotted comming towards us what looked like an NPR on stilts.
It turned out to be Adrian (thespoon) and his wife working thier way down the west coast after comming across the top
hes been running in his new parabolic springs fitted...
On the other side of the Cape Range mountains / hills ? is the cape range national park and yardie creek
well worth a visit
you might even spot a black footed rock wallabie
I couldnt get the truck in the shot because i was in the boat - sorry!
gary
going off the weighbridge certificate for rego purposes the tare weight of my 2007 FG649 as a baby cab chassis was 2640Kg
Ill leave it to you to do the conversion to pounds, shillings and pence.
hope this helps
Swimming with Walesharks was one of the things we wanted to do, but we might have left it abit to late?
Adrian
the season goes until about July but I think so longs are sharks are spotted they go out. We did ours with "Kings"
it was a fantastic day out and a once in a lifetime experience
