With one project coming to an end ( http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/152764-Canter-Fg637-Rebirth ) parts for the new one are arriving. It's time to put a turbo on mine. Custom exhaust manifold. Well it will be. Turbo :- Kinugawa Turbocharger 3" Non Anti Surge TD06SL2-20G w/...

As usual great photos. Just love them. Keep them coming. Dan.

Maybe okay with some but I won't be going to your Blog. The way I see it is if you want people here to read it then post it here. Dan.

I use a set of calipers to measure my tyre wear and adjust pressure to suit for even wear, but this is to run on bitumen. Then I monitor my tyre temps using a "TYRE DOG" setup and if temps climb too much it is either slow down or more pressure (which then becomes counter to what you want as you...

That's what happens on dirt/gravel roads and you have wheel spin it takes chips out. You will find it mainly on the rears when you run in 2WD. We see this all the time on our Landcruiser when we run around the farm in 2WD and going slow. The tyre tends to roll on the little stones just from the...

Just love the Photos, keep them coming. Dan.

That's why for me I'm staying with my 2000 model Canter. NO Computer, No Electronics. I can rebuild it to what I want and still work out cheaper than a new vehicle. Not saying that I don't like the new Iveco 4x4 - I've certainly had a good look and I like the vehicle in principle but too...

Absolutely Terrific report and photos. Loved it. That would be an adventure to see. Thank You, Dan.

It is common with us, we have done it to other vehicles and yet to have a problem. I machine them up so that they are located the same as the end yoke and in size with the outer diameter of the yoke. I bore the inner out as well to decrease as much weight as possible and being solid steel...

With our lifted front springs I run a 25mm spacer on the front of the tail shaft at the diff yoke just bolted in between as I found under articulation the shaft doesn't have enough spline engaged for my liking. It was never a problem but better safe than sorry (It didn't look right to me). Dan.

Certainly are replaceable, I've replaced them before. Dan.

That's my view as well. It really doesn't take much to turn them the right way and post them (or don't post them). Dan.

I've taken them off mine as you say they distract the view to much when you are trying to place wheels in the right place. I've had them on trucks and find I still had just as many windscreen hits as a lot of rocks are lobbed into the air and come from up high. Dan.

It's good to see that you have finally come to this great site. I'm sure you will find other followers here as well. Dan.

I just looked through the Photos of your trip on the Whipsaw trail. Really good to see your Canter being put through it's paces. Some really good angles. Dan.

At this stage it will be u-bolted back to the chassis rail as it was. It has timber runners between tray and chassis. The camper boxes will be mounted to the tray (not hard bolted) and will not really be removed. Spring mounts will be looked at when it finally gets it's full camper build. Dan.

Sure have. The new Canter didn't have aircon but it does now, retro fitted from the old one. And it's cool too. Had to change over a fair bit of wiring to make it all work. Tray has been removed again, striped the old tool boxes and guards from it and am about to clean and paint the under side...

It is not a Turbo Kit but a custom built setup. The manifold was made out of pipe fittings. The turbo is a Garrett. Exhaust has been custom made. Seems to work well which is the reason that we are changing out the engine to the old one. The original motor is going to make a good spare. Dan.

This is the front axle assembly from the old Canter, which I striped down and had the front Centre that I picked up at Alan fitted. As well as cleaning and repacking the knuckle and wheel bearings. Brakes are good on this axle and it also had our modified springs fitted all ready. Dan.

Been around in one form or another for a long time. Dan.
