    130 TD5

    Hi Strangy,

    Yeah, I remember the Willowra Cattle Company. Didn't have much to do with them as never really got out there.

    I loved the area as well, particularly the West Mac's and the like. It was fantastic. I just used to load up the Lolux (which I had before I was introduced to Landies) with my dog, a swag and some cooking gear and head out to Hermannsberg way and camp at creek sides with water. Bloody loved it!

    I was in Alice in 1999 to 2001, then Ali Curung from 2001 to 2003. If you want to look at some nice country, then west of Ali Curung is spectacular as well. Also the road up through Murray Downs to Policemans Waterhole, then out through Epenarra Station and west through to Kurundi. Bloody spectacular!

    I'd be still in the NT if it wasn't for the young fellas. Loved it! Is there a decent Landie mechanic in Alice now? That would be great if there was!

    Do you know any of the boys in blue (Khaki)?

    Here are some photos of my time up there working. Like I said, I loved it. There is one of a roll-over we went to where fortunately nobody was injured, my missus out hunting with the local ladies, a TOJO that I found on a station and some wild cats which I shot being cooked for the old people. Bloody tasty too!

    Ben

    PS - Apologies for overtaking your post with photos! Any dramas let me know and I will take them down.

    Bit more of an update.

    Have the rear all back together with lots of shiny new stuff.
    Front diff is on its way back together, but since its 40deg here today (even the Cockatoo has gone quiet), the pool and a coldy have taken the attention for the rest of the day.

    So, D2 for now ...
    My handbrake would rather drive my 2000 130 dual cab than her d2.

    So a short update.... After I saw the cataclysm that thrived around Mike_IE recently, I took my time lifting spanners to the project.

    Some QT arms sorted the Castor correction and bush stress issues along with Superpro bushes all round. It was cheaper to get the QT arms than to have my swivel housings slotted with the cranked arms a bonus.

    Steering box almost as new so new seals there.
    Of course all wheel bearings, seals, CVs discs and drive flanges.
    A D2 std front diff has replaced the flogged original.

    Wheels on tomorrow and out of the shed.
    Fuel tank to sort out and then into the body/ painting.

    Yes thankyou very helpful. I have to cut and shut about 1.5 inches. Your pictures confirmed my thoughts on the rear and side of the tank.
    I would have been too tight without the front pics.

    Cheers

    Seems to be a specific tank for the "extra cab"
    Nothing definitive on outrigger dimensions from the Chassis production dimensions I have on hand . But that is just the info from the Rave CD.
    According that info and LRA not a 110 tank.
    I haven't pushed LRA any further. I still wonder if it was a stuff up, hence it sitting on the shelf for years.

    I should grab a pic before I cut it.
