    Isuzu 75/155 Dead Battery

    Same with my DAF Prime Mover. Let it stand for a fortnight and it would not start on it's own batteries, so fit a battery isolator switch and the problem was solved for about six months. But now the ECU can't remember a lot of other parameters such as suspension ride height. "Computer...

    2004 Mitsubishi Fuso FG for sale

    You are not going to believe this but I just chased up the original builder of this vehicle while I was up North. This was on Saturday 01/09 not knowing it was for sale or I would have gone to have a look. I was originally hopeing he still had it but he had sold it some 5 years ago and he said...

    Flat Deck Design Considerations

    You are entirely right. You need to be careful you don't slip of that soap box if it gets wet. Dan.

    4d34 turbo advice needed

    Not quite but good thought, we are actually loading for our next adventure (6 days and counting down) so the outboard and boat are already loaded . You can take 75mm ally pipe and give it a squeeze in a press to oval it out so it can fit through a narrower gap. you also find it easier if you...

    4d34 turbo advice needed

    Intercooler measures 475x300x70mm. If I remember it came out of a FE82P? Anyway turbo is 50mm out so we ran a 50mm line to the intercooler (it was 50mm in) and intercooler out is 63mm so that is what I ran to the intake manifold where we fitted the elbow goes up from 63 to I believe it is 75mm...

    4d34 turbo advice needed

    I'll see if I get time tomorrow to take some more pics and I'll measure the core on my intercooler. It is all fairly tight in there. Removing the Aircon condenser was a no brainer for me as I do all my own aircon work anyway and yes the new one is in front of the passenger side front wheel as...

    4d34 turbo advice needed

    Take a look at this thread and it will give all the info on what I did and yes the intercooler lines do run down each side of the radiator low just above the chassis. https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/new-project-turbo-time.156092/ All real easy actually if you say it fast. Using an...

    FG Single to Dual Cab

    Welcome to our great site. Maybe the easiest answer would be to buy a Dual cab and shorten the chassis to the length of the short wheel base. This would be a lot less work and may even cost less. Dan.

    Camper Truck Acquired :)

    Add 20% Premium Unleaded, 200Ml Two Stroke, fit Nitrous to feed in at full throttle and it will have plenty of POWER to spare. Now tell me it won't work and I'll probably tell you that a fellow I know ran the same mix in his 200 Series Cruiser and it had enough power to rip the rear diff to...

    FG Tyre experiences

    Looks to me as 1st march 2018. The start (HA1 - NH9) I would believe is a mould number. But now you also need to remember that these could have also come from different factories and therein they could also be different compound. And yes older the tyres the more chipping will be seen. Maybe...

    Canter Regearing.

    Yes I am looking at other gear cutters as I did a while ago. But there is a problem with that in a lot of them can't handle this small a gears, even though they are bigger than Cruiser or Patrol gears they are considered small and they have trouble cutting the dog teeth that the high/low...

    Canter Regearing.

    I will send them to the states but I'm sorry you have to pay freight. The gear set weights close to 34lbs. You won't regret doing it, Dan.

    Canter Regearing.

    I'm looking into current pricing on getting gears cut so if anyone is interested let me know as more numbers equals lower pricing. Dan.
