huh. while back in perth there was a company (mainly did D/C conversions on cruisers i think) that was making quad-cab versions, each row with its own doors. havent seen one in ages but.

We got another pic (quality of pic is not too good, sorry) but the truck was up the back of the yard. It is a railway maintenance hire place the truck is at.Fuel tank was on the left hand side of the truck.

I guess since there are about 9,000,000 Aussies on this thread, it might be a good place to ask if anyone is running the Oka's for expo travel? I looked at shipping one over to Canada about ten years ago. Are they a good rig or a bit finicky? What are the options for power and gear boxes etc? Spares availiable?

There is some info around regarding OKA trucks. I recommend you do a topical search for posts that have the word 'OKA' or a 'posts by username' advanced search for users OKA_Boy and Peter_n_Margaret. I believe they both use OKAs.

You will probably get better results to your question if you start a thread in the Other Expedition Camper forum, rather than burying it in this thread. It would also keep this thread cleaner.

And many of us envy you your job...

That's some insane suspension work you guys are doing.

Saw this interesting older FG up by Lake Tahoe. The main bed was bolted and welded to the flat section of the frame.

Some pic's I found on file, the owner has 2 Oka's and run the ABS brake business just down the road from us.

Bumped in to Garrie at the Brisbane Camping show recently and he asked me to post these pics up on ExPo to show you guys. Taken out at the Simpson and also a trip to SalvadoreRosa National Park behind Canarvon.

So, Weebles wobble but they DO FALL DOWN?... What the hell is that vehicle doing on its side?
