Thanks for the story and the pics. Well Done. Looks like a nice place to visit and explore. Dan.

This is part of a conversation I had with another member in this Forum a while back on the research that I had done. " Sorry don't really know, Certainly something I'm also keen to try. From research that I have done I'm going to say yes. Both 5 and 6 speed boxes seem to be available in MO35...

I enjoyed the story telling and pictures of a Land that is not easy accessible to me. Dan.

Bush Fires are devastating, but boy do they open up the vista. Really nice pictures and account of your trip. Dan.

I did mean the Canter but after rereading - yes - could be both. Dan.

Usually when we are driving along the engine is running at 2000 rpm or better and the power steering works well, but at lower revs climbing over rocks less engine revs so less power steering pressure. Bigger tyres and the rest as well. Being older and having some wear in parts doesn't help...

With Iridium Sat phone you can use a Telstra post paid sim with roaming in it and it works. So no special plan but they do charge sat charges on your calls when you use it. Works for me, Dan.

Go for it, never had a problem. Biggest thing is most people that have had problems it is mainly because they don't put enough in. The rate that I use is 1oz per ten pounds of tyre or part there of (94 lb tyre would get 10 0zs of beads). I use stainless beads that I import from the states. These...

That's it in a nut shell. Switch is for your low vacuum light. Dan.

Hi Paul, PM sent. Dan.

Hi Paul, We should be picking up the new made gears any time soon (they were getting heat treated a week or so ago) and I will be fitting up two of the sets here at home straight away. The forum posts tell you all. They are fitted into the transfer case instead of the original gears. If there is...

I believe the same transmission but different rear end output shaft. That's the way I understand it, Dan

Yep , remove the top plate on the rear of the transfer case. Look inside there is a large nut - remove that and the gear it holds on will come off. Unbolt the transfer case from the gear box and it should slide off. I've not stripped a gearbox apart but it looks like unbolt bell housing and...

I'm looking at getting another run of gears made and the price has come through and it is a lot better than before. We are looking at $4,500 a set. I will be asking for deposit as I need to pay them (the Gearcutters) a deposit to start. This price is good only on a multiple buy as a single price...

The way I like it. Mine is not pretty either as well, kept mechanically sound and serviced regularly and used for the adventure that it was built for. Good to see some more videos of Canters being used. Dan.

Easy fix then. Dan.

Are your hubs engaged? They should be otherwise it will grind. Dan.

What about an arm and one of these. https://www.liftandlock.com.au/ . I use one to lift a Honda 70 Trike up behind the spare wheels on mine when we are on the beach. Dan.

Removing or modifying (cutting them in half) the front bump stops can lead to the tailshaft hitting the sump when the axle articulates. They are your safety stop so that they never contact. Don't do it. Raising the front end suspension will make the front tailshaft too short - this can be...

At this stage I wouldn't worry too much about it as you are not doing enough running around and I would believe it is just condensation that is getting sucked into the motor when cooling after a short run. So yes it is steam being blown off. The only real way you will find out is by doing a days...
