Remove one half of the center hinge. Undo both gas struts. Rotate to vertical. Slide off. Takes two people to remove the lid. A 10 minute job.

I love the Kimberley's, but they are beasts. Your trailer weighs more than two of ours fully loaded :Wow1:

After extensively testing the Habitat shell to find out the source for water intrusion into the shell we have identified the problem area as the Trim Lok edge seal on the lid. Water is dripping down the side of the lid and working it's way into the shell by flowing in between the push on portion...

Sorry, I didn't see the updates on this thread. Yes there are updates. Basically two updates. The "tailer' we were originally working with won't be able to make the new tent. We have found a US based tent maker who can work with us. We have an original tent and hoops for the project and we...

Living in the Sierra's for 28 years my recommendation for cold weather is to move to Prescott......... but hold on.

I'd agree with you on that. The official Australian Design Rules are very comprehensive, and then each States regulations make it a little more complex.

There is no regulation preventing exterior accessories. I think what you have to look at is the footprint of the typical Australian trailer. It's much bigger than those produced in North America allowing the accessories to be stored on the tongue or in the trailer. You'll also find storage...

Sounds like Mario has been thinking about this as well. I wrote out my answer and didn't see that he'd replied already. As you can see my reasoning is slightly different from Mario's, but that is why we make a good team.:) Bearing design; is a field of it’s own, bearings have to be designed to...

For trailers used on road it is suggested that the bearings are checked and repacked every 12 months. As off road trailers can see some extreme conditions it should be done more frequently. Check your wheel bearings for excess play every time you use your trailer. When repacking the original...

I've seen it wrapped around the upper radiator hose.

A certified translation of the original documents shouldn't be that expensive or difficult.

First thing you need to do it spec out the quads (LxWxH) these are the largest items to be loaded. Then decide if any boxes you use for work go one the bed or under the bed, are they modular or removable. Decide if the RTT goes on the roof of the cab or on hoops above the bed.

All sounds do-able.

My experience with the O rings is that they don't appear to be damaged just compressed. Flash light and a mirror on a stick or a good friend who is a dentist always helps in these confined spaces :-)

Assuming your leak is diesel fuel, the most common leak is from the water separator drain valve. It's the yellow valve on the back of the fuel bowl. The tell tail signs are diesel in the valley and diesel on the front axle (at least on the trucks it is). The drain on the trucks discharges to...

Yes get a reading on both batteries when they are at rest, at least 15 minutes after the vehicle has been turned off. A fully charged battery will read 12.6v -12.65v With the engine running you are reading the alternator voltage. The difference in voltage between the batteries may be due to...

That is a strange thought. The bed that was removed was composite and bolted to the chassis. It provides little or no integrity to the truck as a whole. The Ute tray, basically a flat bed conversion, has steel cross members that bolt between the chassis rails and an aluminum frame work that sits...

We are working on the small leaks right now. We have a couple of simple solutions that are going to work well for everyone. Still in the testing phase right now. I never knew there were so many options for weatherproofed foam tape. We have been using neoprene to seal the extrusion to the shell...

The IPR is the Injection Pressure Regulator, it controls the oil pressure to the injectors. Does this vehicle have a performance chip in it? Try this post on the Ford-Trucks Forum to see if it gives you any answers. Sometimes it's difficult to get the codes off this vehicle, you may need to...

A Google search for "7.3 stalling" comes up with a laundry list of potential issues.
