This is exactly how I've always done it. I've done 30k miles more or less on a set of second hand 315-75-16 Mickey MTZ's. Tread wear was very even along its width and it wore of about .2" of the tread. Not bad at all. Used the same method with my new Yokohama's.

Excellent! As I have new door tops I will try this out with the old ones. see if they hold the doortop on good enough. If so I'll do this to the new ones too. Very handy indeed!

Good to hear you have indeed visited the area before. I really liked Middle Lagoon, there was no-one else when we where there. Amazing spot! Happy travels and keep those pics and stories coming!

Sounds like you had a great time there! You should have gone to Cape Leveque, there are many places that make a wonderfull nights stay. Beautiful area that I'm lucky to have seen multiple times.

My current project. A 60s era Roset 1/4 ton ex army trailer (Dutch M416 copy) which will be turned into a camper trailer. Wheels will be the same as on the LR, will be the same color and a RTT will be fitted on a hinged frame on top. It already has the tongue extended and an Aussie McHitch...

Where are you staying in Broome?

Thanks for sharing! Brings back memories, I did Sani in 2009 I think it was, in a Discovery1 300tdi. Amazingly beautiful country!

Thank you all! Yesterday I took the hubs of and noticed there's plenty of room to knock (or grind) the old studs out, weld up at least one of the holes and drill the 6 hole toyota pattern. That solves the stud pattern issue. Sleeving the cut axle sounds like a good option. Would it have to be...

Hi all, I recently jointed the camper trailer society with a Dutch copy of the M416. After WW2 the Dutch copied the M416 trailer, most were made by Polynorm and Roset. Mine is a Roset from somewhere between the '50s and 60's. The only real visual difference are the arched fenders instead of...

Amazing pictures! Some bring back memories. Thanks for sharing!

I havent seen any decent offroad hitches for sale in Europe. me and a mate of mine have bought the Aussie made and sold McHitch. Shipping is somewhat costly but so are most good things in life.

That sure is one beautiful spot! This one doesn't come close but it still is a really nice spot

Good to hear you're going for it! You'll enjoy it heaps when finished. I do have one question, why spending heaps on a Gturbo (which model btw) when there's a ton of info on cheaper, good alternatives around (www.ih8mud.com, diesel section). The pump doesn't put out a lot of fuel, and the IDI...

Thank you sir! I had a look at that tipi, that looks real good! However I still don't quite like having to mess around with a ground tent, inflatable matrasses and bedding. An RTT is just so much easier. I'm now considering a little camper trailer. The main advantage will be that all my stuff...

Yes it can be done, and has been done before. My 109 has a 3B turbo intercooler and cruiser driveline, as does the 109 of a mate of mine. The 3B fits well in the engine compartment of a Series. It's a bit annoying that the exhaust is on the RHS of the engine but it's not hard to work around...

Very impressive bridge indeed! When we passed there back in '04 it wasn't opened to the public yet for another 2weeks. Admired it from a distance, towering above the fog. Very cool!

Another beautiful spot I had no idea of. Thanks again! If you don't mind, keep them coming! Gives me much needed inspiration for future trips to beautiful France!

Hello everyone, I'm in a bit of a conundrum. 5 years ago I converted my 4door 109 to a 4door softtop (albeit the second row doors are of not much use) and fitted a roll bar for safety. It's a heck of a lot of fun driving it around topless or with a bikinitop. Too bad the weather here doesn't...

Catherine, thank you very much for such a detailed reply! Even though it wasn't directed at me, it's exactly the sort of stuff I really like and will keep in mind for my next trip to France. Bookmarked this, thanks again!
