Thread: 12months of unsolicited spending...

mate thats a top set up you have.

How much are the air lockers each before installation compared to the maxi's each? does that $3000 for both with the air lockers include the cost of the maxi axles or is that just the lockers?

now thats a proper blokes toy.

mate nice rig, you stole my idea of black rims. They make the rig look sweet and mean! mine will soon have all that. Cant wait.

Donaldson may have huge R&D but they are not the be all and end all, engines in golfcourse machines all run donaldsons and some still end up dusted, we even run cyclone intakes on snorkles on the tractors which are the only machines which work in dusty enviroment and you still get dust in the intake past the filter which is changed every 100hrs.

Paper elements are good when they work, but it's only when they work

Why should you EVER need to replace 1 filter a month!!! Filters collect dust more efficiently the more they load with dust, so it is better to replace the filter less often. And your $30 LR filter is probably made by donaldson or Mann Filter - so you would be able to get it cheaper from either of those companies.

A filter only works if it is the right one for the housing and is properly sealed - that is not a filter media problem. If the housing doesn't seal properly, then fix it or replace it. I am only talking about media performance here - even cellulose fibre (paper) filters work MUCH better than form or cotton (which most after market filters are made from). And Donaldson holds patents on 90% of other filter media technology, and is already making air filters from polymer and glass media, which outperforms cellulose by a lot.

Sounds like the guys changing filters where you are have NFI, and they are definitely changing them too often.

Anyway - back on topic - nice truck, I am jealous.

Matt #3000 is for both Airlockers front n rear, big onboard compressor, tyre pump kit and puncture kit installed and tested by the guy who does LR in Perth. The rear Maxi was $3500 including axles and drive members..so about $2700 if you already have them.
