I'd like to know the story behind this pic. Looks interesting. Dan.

It is also caused by the rear wheels which are being driven spinning on the rocks on the road thus chipping pieces out so driving in 4WD on gravel roads will stop a lot of that wear and also give a lot better handling. We see a lot of this wear to the rear wheels on 2WD utes running around the...

Now that is what I call a trip - AN Adventure. Love the river crossing - floating the Volvos over using air bags. Really great video, Dan.

Try looking in here. https://www.youtube.com/user/AussieIron1 They are from a few years ago, I have a lot more footage that I need to post up when I finally get to it. Dan.

Never trim the bump stops as it will cause you problems when you are offroad and you cross your axles up . The tail shaft has a fair chance of hitting the sump. And yes I have seen two Canters that have done this allready - not mine. I'm still running the Rancho 9000's that I originally fitted...

Then you haven't seen the videos of where I take my Canter. My steel tray is bolted to the chassis with angle iron plates, sitting on the chassis and only bolted on the sides. Four along each side - the front mounts are no longer bolted there as the flex has finally taken the bolts out but it...

Your basic camper is Great. Just one thing you should really have your bed at the rear because that is lighter than your storage setup. This would put your weight in front of the rear axle where it should be for a better ride and Canter loading reconmendation by manufacturer. Now it will make...

I don't know why you GCM is 6500kg as my FG 637 has a GCM of 7500kg. Maybe differance is year model as mine is a 2000 where you say yours is 1998. With your GVM downgraded your GCM stays the same as plated. As for an upgrade you would need to talk to an engineer as it will need a blue plate. Dan.

Can only agree -- Stunning--. Dan.

You Know :- While I was driving down the road today to get another load of sweet potatoes for the cows (yes we are still in the worst drought we have seen) if someone was to supply me with a six speed box, I would take a closer look and see if it is feasible to build a Hybrid out of the...

It would surprise me if it did. Warmer weather would make a bigger difference. Hotter air is less dense. The difference between driving on a hot day and a cool evening. Dan.

This I have looked into a fair bit before I had Transfer Gears cut. There is a lot for it and against it. 1st gear in the six speed is a higher ratio (this I didn't want at all if anything we need lower), the gear spacings are nearly the same as what we have now and they have a double...

Did you remove the axles so the rear diff is not turning, otherwise the rear diff is still circulating and can still be the problem. Dan.

No trouble running the oil that you put in as that would be normal for transfer case. That is the grade that I would also run in the diffs. We drive in hotter climates than a lot of other places in the world. On colder mornings (as in the desert / probably Victoria High Country) I just start...

From what is visible to me it all looks good. Teeth meshing surfaces are what would be expected. Lets go to the diff. At what speed are we having the most pronounced noise on acceleration and deceleration. If it not too fast, "" I MAY "" remove rear tail shaft and rear axles an just drive on...

Yes you will need to drain the oil first. Okay if I am hearing it right from that short video - it certainly does sound like gear whine. This could be from a few different causes. The noise is from the meshing of the gears and could be from excess play in the bearings. It could have been run dry...

Why don't you crawl under and remove the side plate of the transfer case ( big flat plate 300 x 160mm and 11 bolts) and look inside your self. Grab yourself a largish screwdriver and you can lever the gears side ways and up and down and see what is going on. You will also be able to see if the...

Another great write-up and love the pics . Dan.

I just thought everyone here needs a reminder that flex is possible. Dan.

That's easy to overcome by fitting a turbo to it. Dan.
