    As you know, turbo-ing the 4BD1 isn't always quite as simple as just the mechanical installation of said turbo.

    If it is the shortness (lowness ?) of the gearing that's causing the problem, it is possible to fit larger diameter tyres on D1 wheels to usefully raise the gearing to better utilise the power.
    Yes. I was quite surprised at the weighbridge. This is my first foray into diesel ownership.
    Hopefully, it will tow another 3t. The GCM is 7.1t
    It's already running 7.50 16's. I don't want to change the tyres. I might investigate the possibility of changing the diffs but I don't want to move the stress somewhere else in the drive train.

    Anyone going to Brisbane for the inspections tomorrow?

    Would be interested in a report on the general condition etc of three FFR Lot#1 Lot#4 and Lot#5

    Diana

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    PM sent with my notes on those lots, Diana.

    I was there last Friday and crawled over the 7 FFRs for a few hours.

    As I'm a noob at this, I won't publish my observations here. Besides, at least one other forum member was there on Friday who is far more experienced than I. I won't name them, but they do have my eternal gratitude for the assistance they gave me.

    One interesting observation of the GS models: one had a 24v generator in the engine bay. Fitted but no loom connected. Weird.

    I def learned the importance of inspections, the condition of the vehicles varies considerably.

    bumped into Dave while I was down there.........he will give your a god run down.

    they are all rough and have faults and appear to have been off the road for some time

    Lot 1 than Lot 5 than Lot 4....if I was buying based on a quick look, Lot 4 could be good value if it stays low....Dave has taken about a million pics of each car, started them and engaged PTO's if they had one fitted.

    plenty of punters having a look

    So the general condition overall is a bit rough? Will be interested to see how this reflects on final prices as they seem to be sitting fairly low at this point. Apart from a couple and the senior commander at about 9000 now

    Could be true although I haven't heard anything.
    I here tell there may be a major release of MB into the system around then.
    There were quite a few parked up at Palmer but not sure if they shipped to Minto.
    Murphy's law says now I have mine they'll dump plenty in WA.
