If you get bogged in the snow up there in Qld we will never find you now...

Just left of QLD in a little place called the NT but the snow gets just as deep.

Now this may or may not cause some debate but as some have a hard time with the colour WHITE, I thought I would try a different approach. I live up here in the tropics and it is the wet season, so a North American urban winter camouflage pattern seemed appropriate. What do you think?

I like it, well done.

Hi Scubagai, the turbo is a Denco /Schwitzer(now Borg warner)
The BW no is 311301

Tray Modification

When I was fitting the extra fuel tanks I discovered that the cross members were rusting away. The good thing about having a crane is that I could remove the tray quite easily. Now I have better access to the offending bits.

Fitting the third axle took forever.

If only it was that easy. It is something that I'm thinking about with my spare Canter but is going to take a lot engineering that is hard to get approved now days.

Are both rear axles going to be driven? If so, how? Second transfer case or axle swap or?

In the States, 2.5 ton Rockwells are quite common and make an easy conversion but require significant investment to really make them top notch.
