Awesome rig. I wouldn't want to be sharing the video bit where you are sitting on the top of the truck whilst its moving. We have the sort of authorities in this country who wouldn't let families keep a magpie as a pet. BTW, is the Isuzu motor a turbo or non-turbo?

Hi mate, thanks for your comment, The FWHs take the unneeded wear off the rear axle when doing longer bitumen stretches of road. I will put up another vid soon with some other issues with the cerntre wheel bearing etc. that was also identified as an issue. cheers.

@davidhorsey71642 ай бұрын
Free wheeling hubs have an o ring seal normally around the cap but they also have bearing grease in them not diff oil so id say you need a oil seal on your axel and run bearing grease in the hub for the bearings not diff oil as its too thin id ask a mechanic about this but i think im on right track as oil seeps past the o ring seal aisin and warn brand hubs i know do have the seal pulling the hub completely apart to inspect or a call to manufacturer is only way to know if hub has a seal in it best of luck
@daring2venture6712 ай бұрын
Thanks mate, yes, you're right, bearing grease is normally used, but funnily not in these ones. I actually disregarded the instructions and added in my own bearing grease and initially thought that this was the issue maybe blocking the seal or something. There is a solution on the way, I will make a vid to sort it all out hopefully :) thanks again.

Hey mate, thanks for the comment, I dint actually have the tow hitch on as I was working on it at home. these trucks also came standard with a pintle not a ball.

Hay mate, Cheers for the feedback. And good on you for having a crack. The drz is practically bullet proof! I had a uniden uhf. The radios are useless in between the dunes so every couple of dunes I would put the call out on the top and look for cars cresting in the distance. It was a bit of a gamble, but stay left and get an ear piece for your radio so you can hear chatter. Normally within 6-7 km you will start to get it over the waves.
