I have an ARB twin compressor 12V. When I bought this compressor it was at a price higher than most. I expected it to pump up the 285 70 19.5 Toyos with ease. It has done this reasonably well, given I was naive as to how much it actually takes to pump tyres like this back up from 50psi to 85...

Hi mate Just went and had a look at the winch hook on my Warn 15000. I have wire rope/cable. The hook itself does not have WLL rating other than 'Forged' and 'High Test' and '1/2'. The pin securing the hook through the wire rope loop measures 13mm. Now that flies in the face of your 32mm...

Dan. My knowledge of what you are trying to do is zero. I see what you are trying to achieve but the technical details are way over my head. Not sure if this is relevant to what you are trying to do here, but I did have a chuckle.

Too late for second thoughts now!!! Looking forward to the build.

Hi. I hope I can make this clear, but because I don't understand it, it may not be as such. I have the below switch which is used to cut all power from the house batteries to the rest of the truck. I thought it would switch on = power on, switch off = everything immediately off, like a light...

We bought a vehicle with the Stratos seats already fitted and are in the middle of a trip to the Cape. Having come from a stock fg639 with standard driver’s seat and a bench for the passenger (and standard suspension), the Stratos are great. But we have nothing to compare them against other than...

Another consideration not previously mentioned is that a dedicated camper would probably be registered as a 'motorhome' and as such attracts a significant saving on rego fees. With the slide on, the truck remains a truck and will attract 'truck' sized rego fees. But I might be wrong.

I am after some collective advice. I need to get some shackles for recovery purposes, i.e. attaching snatch block to tree protector, attaching to truck (for whatever reason), attaching winch cable to the other end and any other purpose that might need it. What are most of you using -...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll certainly give ATW a call on the way through I think. Dan, we'll be heading off sometime in the next 4 weeks. Family commitments mean we have to be back by the end of July

For those on the east coast of Aust, I am travelling north shortly from the ACT (to the tip) and at some stage will need new tyres as above. Would anyone care to recommend a place who might supply and fit. Doesn't really matter where, I reckon I've got about 10k left on them. Thanks in...

Yep, you're right Owen. How about this then - now that I put in the right link - https://www.donaghys.com.au/file_uploads/fact-sheets/Kinetic_Energy_Tow_Rope_Fact_Sheet_Oct2017.pdf

Has anyone tried these as an alternative to the 'usual' style snatch strap - https://www.donaghys.com.au/file_uploads/fact-sheets/Donaghys_Mongoose_Fact_Sheet_Oct2017.pdf

Don't know what your price range is but this almost fits the criteria you set out. But it is new. And no affiliation whatsoever. http://www.allterrainwarriors.com.au/vehicles/for-sale

Happy New Year to you and Allison also. Great to meet you both, enjoyed your company and the summary in the vid above. Dieter and Hanna EV

Hi Having just returned to the ACT from a 6,000km round trip through NT, I'd like to sort out one of the issues that arose (the other was electrical and I think I've sorted it). Vehicle is a 1996 FG639. On the way up we had a lot of rain, basically 10 days wet weather driving but no issues...

Sorry mate. Link doesn't seem to work (for me anyway)

Ok - all fixed. Prop shaft was rebuilt by a guy here in Canberra (The Diff Doctor). New uni's all round. He said it was a bit of a job to do the double cardin, but hey, he did it. Thanks to everyone who managed a contribution. Dieter

I've been away from the internet the last 3 days and wow, heaps of replies and info. I will remove the shaft this week, give it a clean up and have a real good look to see if there are circlips, etc. Thanks for all the advice - priceless. Whatcharterboat. Spot on with the price. OEM $1550...

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll be unable to progress this until next week when I'll pull out the existing shaft, clean it up and have a good look. Hopefully there are circlips that can be removed so the spider can also be removed. I will also try a couple of places here in Canberra who...
