Cheers ET & MR's,

Keep those idea's/experiences coming Gents. We're all better off at NP.com.au getting them fast-tracked in under a decade.

So glad I finally joined the Forum, Cheers Blokes !!

Ok..
So let's just put this question out there..
You build your camper using gu diff etc etc to carry spares..
You half way across the desert and you shag a bearing..
Does that mean your turfing the camper for the sake of a bearing? ??
Another reason to go a normal setup and carry spares. .

How often does a rear bearing fail in a patrol though?

Never if you are carrying a spare... It's the law.

Hehehehe... If it came down to failure rate the ZD30 boys would have to carry a spare you know what before a rear bearing

But then why build a trailer to carry all these 'spares' which are being used

So then you can carry all the same spares instead of one set for you trailer and one set for your patrol

Seems very over kill for a extra set of bearings.
