New 6x6 owner (almost)

I run the td04hl-19t with 6cm housing. It works great

Sidesteps

Above is the rear sidestep mount

Attachment 123226
Above is the front sidestep mount

The vehicle is a tray top with winch (no canopy fitted). I thought it was an 89 but looking at the plates on the engine and chassis delivery was 06/95.

Received the door locks, VDO EGT & boost gauges today, went to fit the ignition lock and found a bag behind the seats branded Australian Front Line Machinery with a full set of door locks and linkages!
Hopefully turbo will turn up early next week and can get it fitted up.

Bearman
will definitely be adding a long range tank, and water tank(s) as part of the build. Body of camper will be styromax 4.5 mtr with full bling (was the trade off for the off road capability).

RE the 3.5 ratios not sure which way I will go with this. Definitely need a higher ratio final drive so I can comfortably sit on 100km but will wait till I fit the body, tyres and load it up to see where I go (diffs or over drive or transmission upgrade).

Thanks Bob, That was a double bonus, a later model vehicle and the locks supplied as well. Here's a few photos of what I have done on mine.

Here's a few more.

Brian do you run that Salisbury with the oil level up to the level plug??

G'day Duane, How are you going these days. Yes It is filled up to the filler plug but bear in mind that it is the rear diff which is tilted up so the rear driveshaft clears the intermediate axle.

Hi

Well got the rego transferred on the weekend and the papers have it listed as "Rigid truck-Not haul trailer over 4.5T" When I asked the RMS staff where they got that from they said that is what they have on file based on the specs of this vehicle???? I thought these 6x6 were only rated at 2t???

Anyway, got the dash lights working and in the process fitted new boost and EGT gauges (had to weld up the old PTO light hole to fit it all in)

and the vehicle is already fitted with a tow bar but I don't think its rated for this vehicle:

Does the tow bar have a model number on it?
