Thank You. The wheels are 16" Alloys from Alan the tyres are Goodride Mud Legend SL386 in 315/75x16. Dan.

I often am looking for 1st gear low range so I am all ready at the bottom of the gear selection. And yes often running in low range on tracks and gravel roads. Dan.

Tyre pressure was 45psi front and 55 in the rear ( there will be more why in my trip report ). The place of this sand crossing is at the bottom of the hill at Maytown. Dan.

We are back home. A bit early and some story and of coarse video. I'll start a new thread when I can, it will be slow as I need to sort out and edit video for you to enjoy. I have put a small piece in the tracks thread. Dan.

No , not a mark on them other than a lot of dust. Didn't really spin on them. Weight on the rear axle weighed on the way up :- 2.88 tonnes ( 6,349 lbs ) Dan.

Looks like the way to go to me. Dan.

Well , here you go Folks a Video of using my recovery tracks in a sandy river bed. I've left a long lead in to the video as it shows a good example of the front diff centre working (also supplied by Alan). I could have driven around this soft patch as you will see by the other tyre tracks but...

Double clutching under load can often get you into 1st without grinding (yes at walking pace ) but most times it is a full stop. Dan.

Well the day is here. My sister (Candy) turned up this afternoon and we are of to Townsville tomorrow and will be leaving there on Monday the 10th to head to the top. All going well we will do a trip report in 5 or 6 weeks. Dan.

"Just do it" we all want to see how it goes then. Dan.

Myself, I'm of the opinion that there is something else going on. Do the wheels spin true on the vehicle when it is jacked up. Should never have happened. Got to be another problem. Dan.

Not absolutely sure but yes I believe in the same time frame. I knew of two others that were in use at the same time as my brother's on pineapple farms used for hauling one ton pine bins around. These were in the area south of Gympie so there may have been even more in the Nambour area. Dan.

They were a really great Jeep. My brother had one for many years as a tray back. Was a good work horse. Dan.

Great photos, just gotta love it. Beautiful country. Dan.

I say that both of these answer are right. I've not had a problem and yes you can't put the beads that I use through the valve stem. Talking to the "Tip Top" tyre rep they sell tyre sand to balance tyres (can be put in through the stem with valve removed) and can supply a special valve that has...

Run around in the mud and there wouldn't be any white lettering for long. Dan.

Looking good, keep them coming. Welcome to world of 4x4 Trucks and enjoy our great country. Dan.

Love to see some pics that is for sure and a trip report would be nice as well. Dan.

Looks good. A great start to another camper. Dan.

My tray is bolted solid to the chassis (both on top of step and along rear rails) at 282,000Klms. This is the way that the body builder made it, it is also a very large body building company. Now I don't say that it is right but it is that way. I use my Canter off road (I would be at close to my...
