Little bearings. The ones I am installing at the moment I can just lift. They have a four inch bore and a eleven inch od and are a double row self aligning bearing. Took a sixty tonne hydraulic cylinder to get the old ones of. Some we have need the crane to move about.

Hmmmmmm
A couple of blokes in each new disco with air con and air suspension think they are doing "Extreme" 4WDing and yet the dozen or so blokes in and on the Toyota look like they think this is just another day in the bush.[bigwhistle]
They are not novices. This bloke has crisscrossed remote Africa for years in various forms of Land Rovers doing work for his foundation:Quote:

More photos from the Kingsley Holgate expedition. I get the impression they worked the Disco 5's pretty hard.
They do use a Defender as their support truck though.
What a waste of time.Quote:

An old trip report from 5 blokes riding in Angola - but soooo worth reading.
