    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?

    Why have you got free wheeling hubs on the rear axle anyway? Aussie army has been using these utes for years, well proven

    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.

  • @davidhorsey7164
    @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

  • @daring2venture671
    @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.

  • @journeymanadventure

    You might find those hubs need grease that would hold back the oil.

    Why are you recovering of the tow hitch? With an investment into a rig of this type I would think your expertise would have you knowing this is not a wise way to recovery.

  • @daring2venture671
    @daring2venture6712 ай бұрын

    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. I only had to lightly tug him out, so pulling in a straight line back off the cargo lifting hook I thought was going to get the job done :)

    @@daring2venture671 Madmatt would have been referring to you attaching the recovery strap to the towball of the bogged vehicle. Plenty of videos online of the towball snapping off & going thru windows & worse. You did a gentle snatch but it still stresses the towball, best to wrap the strap around the chassis crossmember. Good vid though. Wonnangatta never disappoints. Good thing there was no Jetstar pilot to have a say about the drone..😄

    These dogs have great chemistry with eachother. The Ridgeback/Staffy loves being on the offense while the Rottweiler is perfectly fine playing defense. They definitely look like they're loving it. I think the Ridgeback and Rottweiler have good compatibility and perhaps would make a perfect pairing.

    Bravo brother, you have inspired me to have a solo crack now. Riding a DRZ400 I’ll cross west to East, take my time spending 3 nights in the desert. Couple questions about your UHF, what did you use and how do you determine your current dune position when communicating to on coming traffic? Cheers man.

  • @daring2venture671
    @daring2venture6713 жыл бұрын

    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.
