I always get all my stuff out when I get there. Use the step. Easy. No issue at all. Being 6'1" helps I guess. :)
On the 42TD is was around 18.5 /100 average.
It certainly seems boss of the job so far. Weight us no issue now. GVM 4500. The ride on the parabolic suspension is amazing. Ha re the pod height. Is a bit of an issue. But bought a wheel step. The...

It's an amazing vehicle so far
I'm going to run these tyres for the dry. Then add 6x39" muddies for the wet. Not sure which yet.
Bull bar etc on way. Fair bit still to do but will post pics when I get it done.
I'm going to...
Bull bar. Dual winch. Heaps to do. But does look it's meant to be there eh !

It's nearly ready for pick up.
I was amazed at what comes standard. Even has switch to turn off fan for deep water crossings. 3 air lockers standard and 2 air suspension seats plus 4 accros the back. I'm going to put my pod on the...
I just ordered a 4x4 dual cab Iveco. Thanks for the heads up on it. Extended test drive on rough corrugated roads was amazing. Standard equipment is unreal. So sadly the patrol days are numbered....

Water in diff seems to be culprit?
I haven't really had any. Just said it assists in rough conditions with load distribution so thought worth a shot. Am pricing up replacing all suspension.
Rear leaves look flat when loaded
Have you seen these from ironman. Bought one $99. Worth a shot.

Thanks. The front wheel bearings were replaced about 6000 km ago. I saw the grease go in. And the bearings were still on the shaft. Although fused by heat. Mechanic thinks seal on diff side failed
From memory (ute in Darwin being fixed) I think it's 3800
Ok thanks Cuppa, I'm not sure what you mean about engineering etc that you paid, mine has a 2nd compliance plate for the GVM increase, do I need to renew it? Or was it that some Telstra Utes didn't...
Ok so I'm going to keep her.
If I upgrade/renew the suspension does it have to be ARB to keep the increase in GVM?
Cheers
Well thTs a great offer thanks mate, I've asked for photos as he pulls it apart. I'll put them here but another post.
As soon as I find out what's wrong I'll let you know.

Pretty even. I think he was saying the higher pressure would attract less tyre wall damage / punctures, but if it's shaking my ute to buts I'll drop the pressure like a hot rock.
I'm not a...
Not sure what the pod weighs. But 200L fuel 85L fridge plus honda gen and about 200Kg tools n stuff. Oh and added roof top tent
What would you run on bitumen.
I have a tyredog pressure...
Yeah I have to agree with you as does my wife.
I actually drive pretty steady. Usually 50-80 on gravel on sit at a 100 on hard top.
Tyres I run at 60 all round. ((Advice from tyreshop)

Hi Guys.
As you know I've been having a few issues lately with my. 02 42Td ex Telstra ute. While the engine etc is holding up well the rest of the ute is hurting with the week in week out rough...
RAC have agreed to Pay $3000 of the recovery. Phew.
But would be interesting to see if you can buy 4wd recovery insurance
Worked fine so far when I have never "needed" it. You know hi honey what's the footy score etc. Pretty pissed that it didn't yesterday. Was in open. Facing the right way. Even stood on one leg ;)

It's locked in at a bush police station. I got a lift for the last 200km. Then will have to get a charter plane back to Darwin Friday.
Truck left Darwin at sparrows this morning to go get ute. :(
