Don't think it has a choice

What length body are you looking at bru ?

Exellent. re trailer, towed a car trailer from gulgong to dubbo few weeks ago belonged to a friend , put a b50 dual cab on and stopped about half way back for a burger at the pub. We noticed the arse of the trailer was about 4" off the road ? after a look we relised it had started to bend and crease ...

exellent

Rob ,has documented just about everthing with his builds as well, great read and info.

Basically thats it,its still a work in progress, of cause it needed a few extras, tires where sad ,bfg muddies 285x75x16 on 8inch sunnys, some ipf spotties, and a trip to Dobbinsons at narrellen nsw to get its fat butt up a couple of inchs they done a top job. and a 12500lb winch. Also tinted ...

The fridge is on a couple of bunnings 45kg slides.



Door hinges from the top,and half an alloy ladder gets my short old ass up there.

I was looking at using high impact plastic sheeting like the outer cladding of newer caravans, or just buy the insulated sheet from caravans to keep the framing to the minimum. Mark. Some of he composite would be exellent Mark ,i allways loved these FWC light as and low profile http://www ...

A pair of 6000kpa struts make the roof lift a breeze large zip down windows allow for good air flow, bed is what they call a caravan double. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v367/Dozoor/013-3.jpg Under the bed lives a 65ltr primus fridge freezer,2x 120 amp batterys,60ltr water tank,chain saw ...

longlux 4.4 kva yep runs our heron 3.0 in the van no probs, mainly got it for inverter welder ,grinder drill ect.

Looks tops mate, I tow I dual cab rodeo behind the bus and want to build something similar.....ish The main focus for me is suitable power/water wtc and a cooking section and bed. First on the list is to upgrade the trailer and then I need to replace and upgrade battery and solar in the bus, going ...

Above the rear recess leaves a shelf area inside the box via the full width an area around 1900x350x350 large enough for a small cooking storage area.

At the rear i wanted a dirty area for stuff like jerry cans ,generator, spare ect. this formed by a 350mm allcove in the rear of the box. simply folded prop sheet, http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v367/Dozoor/005-2.jpg some extra pieces of metal in the right spot behind to support the spare ect ...

Thanks Mark -Bru , The roof frame is hinged at the front , my tray size determined the size of the roof,and its an idea to remember the available cladding sheet sizes when building stuff like this ,most alloy is 2400 x 1200. We used 1.6 alloy with a join down the middle,allternative in a single ...

The needed to be built from somthing easy and cheap,i retained the steel tray as the base, and added a 25x25 x1.6 frame out of mild steel, get your measurments right ,and have the steel mob cut it for
Thanks to Ben for the welding.

If your reading this thread you have probly been asking your self a heap of question, as i did when me and the missus first decided to sell our home and take a drive . There is an mirade of choices out there as to vehicles you could use for a long term home on the road . A bus towing zook ? A 4x4 or ...

I done it years ago on a sierra , as rett stated,i found slightly lower in the front works a treat on steps ect and the opposite in Mud.

End result is wear of course .

The filter should be just above the pan, usually a black flat object with a neck that slips into a hole in the valve body. When you drop the pan it will be staring you in the face. It will have an open window on the underside of the filter where the pump draws fluid up through the filter media then ...

Pull the pan and check the filter Tim, if the clutchs and plates start to come to pieces , they block the filter up when they have been running for a while, then when it cools the stuff falls of the filter, and then gets sucked back up and blocks once started and run for a while . ;) Gives a similar ...

It would be a lot simpler if you use a lux transfer , adapters are hard to come by for the rover case, front shaft is extremely close to the 700 pan.
lux is strong enough and probly half the weight and will line up with your lux diffs.

Gsxr750 , Stumps, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb2lnqli6Vs lots of gearing , bike motor and box hooked up to zook box. The video probly dosnt do the setup justice, if you see other cars on the same obsticle they all find it hard. Adapting to a three speed auto would be exellent. OR Swift 1ltr 3 ...

The jello stripper should work , Quik strip.

spray on isn,t as good.

Just sounds like the differential action , im thinking lock off ,
you will get two out of three turning probly oppisite directions , lock on all three turning same directions ----

The clue is probly use the series centres , there 4,7-1 that will give you a better ratio , the down side is there even weaker then the 3,5 don,t think they would be to bad in the setup you have in mind it should Be OK , some where between stock zook and lux , There are some tricks to make them live ...

Bent zook , Whats the distance between the bottom of chassis rail and ground?


Ancient thread http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/ftopic33747-0-0-asc-.php

If you don,t intend to do a spring over , then just go the MQ,MK
and givem a shave before you install , pair of diffs can be found for bugger all, there as tough as nails in a zook.
