Re: 75 series ute

Welcome to the club!

If your thinking of buying from the wreckers, check new prices first. I've been quoted more for used parts than new a few times now.

Re: camping 75 series utes

Try these, still working on decking out the trays instead of the gazebo. http://i792.photobucket.com/albums/yy204/jth1983/outer/JH10.jpg http://i792.photobucket.com/albums/yy204/jth1983/outer/JH9.jpg http://i792.photobucket.com/albums/yy204/jth1983/outer/JH6.jpg http://i792.photobucket.com/albums ...

Re: 75 series ute

Had the same problems when I bought mine 12 months ago.

Bought a new axle (to be on the safe side) and a good hub from the wreckers. Put back together with new seals and check the studs weekly. Has been fine since.

Re: ironman shocks ?

Had Ironman shocks 3 years old when I bought my 75. swapped to Tough Dogs. 2' set Tough Dogs travel more than the Ironman and 12 months later I would not go back.

Re: 75/79 seires

79 Diesel also have the factory turbo engine which in experience to an AM turbo on a 1HZ in a 75, the factory is more reliable due to the engine internals are built for the extra temperature / boost.

Clean up the Rims and 'dust' on a light coat of etch primer then spray on several light coats of colour. Matt black is the best as it is the easiest to touch up.

I've found Pedders shocks resonable for price and reliability. Had a set
of foam cells for 3 years until I sold the ute and still were going strong even with the treatment I gave them.
