    Prerunner FE thoughts?

    FEs don't have a lsd. At least not here in Aus.

    Catastrophic Hankook failure on the freeway...nasty

    Op, what makes you think it's a write off? Is the damage that bad? If it is that's really crap, I know how hard it is to find a good truck you like. Czechsix, I tried too but couldn't find squat. Only found out about it coz when I went to thier yard they got a traytop mog they use for offroad...

    Catastrophic Hankook failure on the freeway...nasty

    Far out man, that's hectic! Glad you're ok, could have easily ended much worse. Just the other day I was talking to a towie after I had a minor stack with my car. Dunno if you seen pics of that fancy earthcruiser U400 mog they did. Well it was at the Perth 4x4 show a couple months back...

    4d34 turbo advice needed

    Sounds pretty good. Fueling sounds about spot on. First thing I'd look at is getting the cooler working properly. Hot air going over the motor goes straight up behind the cab (as a low pressure zone) so it's not real good for a cooler. I definitely would not want to run charge piping to the roof...

    So I've joined the club, and now need some help!

    Yea I think he's right- I'm pretty sure there's an earlier full mechanical 4d34. And don't take my word for it, but I think the 2 motors are very similar, and can probably be swapped with very little mod work. But I don't know that for sure. Imo the factory turbo 4d34 would be a better motor...

    So I've joined the club, and now need some help!

    Dan, I think he wants to swap out the whole motor.

    Canter 6X6 - Yes or No.

    Fair enough, thought that might be the case. Pretty much every track that's worth doing in WA is exactly canter width- or narrower. Another way of doing it is like the Brazilian engesa trucks. Single rear axle with a large pivot on each end, and a geared walking beam each way to 2 sets of...

    Canter 6X6 - Yes or No.

    Question though, if you're starting with an FE, I assume you'll be buying all the bits to make it 6x6, tcase, 3 axles (the fe diff isn't lsd, and probably a different ratio than you want) driveshafts etc. why buy an fg tcase and not something more generic/common? And if the only reason you're...

    Canter 6X6 - Yes or No.

    Sounds pretty good. If running a walking beam setup you'd want to run some big fishplates along the chassis to brace it, probably 8mm and maybe 2ft each way from the centre mount. One thing that concerned me about using the stock tcase to get drive for both rears is its strength. Idk if that...

    Mitsubishi Fuso FG 4x4 tire options for stock rims

    8.25R16 used to be a common upgrade for them without going singles. Think they're about 1.5" taller and 1" wider from memory

    Driving in Sand

    The tyre doesn't get wider, it gets longer. Wide tyres can help but can also be a hindrance as you have to bulldoze a wider rut.

    Fuso wont start...

    Seconded. Don't go AGM for cranking batteries.

    A shocking Rancho report and plea for other shocks (Sachs?)

    Did they have options on stroke lengths and/or the heavier raid units? And by the sounds you rate them highly?

    A shocking Rancho report and plea for other shocks (Sachs?)

    Can I ask roughly what the Konis were worth? And did you get them through atw or koni? I'm up for some newies on my parabolics, have been looking at kings but dang they are expensive ?

    4d34 turbo advice needed

    Depends if you're intercooled or not.. if not then probably 15max. If it is, then don't worry about the boost so much as the egts- that's what'll potentially kill it.

    4d34 turbo advice needed

    Sounds like it's running pretty nice. What turbo is this? And what's the lowest rpm you see max boost?

    Man I remember seeing this thing in a 4x4 mag probably 20 years ago.. good to see it's still getting round.
