Thread: 504,000km and still going strong

They thrive on hard work. Its the life they were meant for.

wooo wooo there!
I remember not so long ago you rebuilt the tray on the back and wasnt there some body panels replaced???

Does that include the gearbox?

You are Correct, second hand roof and a new headboard built! I should have said mechanical components, yes gearbox is original and untouched, still on its second clutch, it has obviously had bushes replaced where required and oil seals, but these are more wear items than component failures..

Thanks for that
Can you tell me what gear oils you have run in the box?
I would be very interested to know

Cheers

Always ATF, have used Penrite for the last few changes, 80w90 truck diff oil in the TC and diffs, 10k changes on the motor using delo 400 for the last 350,000km and its still not using oil between changes, which is a good sign..

Sorry Summitt but I don't believe you,Izzuzzu's are the only LR engine's that can do 500,000k's,I read it on here some it must be true .
















Mines only got 495,000 but I'm doing the Connie Sue in 4 weeks so it'll have a chance to close the gap. Pat

I ran ATF in my R380 for 400K and was shouted down numerous times for it,nice to show the knockers were wrong,I've run Redline MTL for the last 95,000. Pat
