Lifting off/on heavy level wind Should have added link to previous thread re lifting heavy stuff off of rear bed using the "inboard technique" but here are a few pics as I can't remember the thread title..

Pics will be added to thread as it developes - but please note YELLOW edits of post #1 (assuming that I can still edit...) to basic proceedure or newer post as necessary. I an considering placement of rubber 'O' ring under washer #28..... I will be painting all grease fittings yellow for...

Bench Servicing Tips. (All Numbers are relative to the Parts Diag {open seperate window from TM section of forum if pic too small}): Note EDITS in YELLOW when re-visiting thread. Servicing is required if any of the grease fittings are blocked and/or any of the bearings, rollers or cable...

Thanks for resurrecting this thread Frank, hadn't seen it before, however it appears a little underutilised...

Looks mostly complete - ++spotlights unobtanium!!, however missing spare tyre gantry/hoist, bottles and looks like the exhaust goes somewhere else rather than up the stack shield. Not sure if the nose is covered with tools towbars etc., like the armoured cab version... Absolutely needs to be...

I think some searching or thread combining is falvour of the month... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?98438-Split-shift-transfer-lever-extension/page2 http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?90042-Split-shifting-a-813 Second thread, post #5 shows the TM extract with a...

For those that need it - Here are the dims for machining a collar to allow you to pull a civi semi-trailer, having a 2" King pin with your LET, MET or HET that has a 3 1/2" fifthwheel. These can be acquired from the UK or even Australia though since they are NOT HIGHWAY LEGAL you will need a...

What did that little lot cost you? Mine too are suffering from Solar degradation...

... do they have any more??? Shipping from Guam/Hawaii - not too practical.

Ha ha.. Yup, it's prety straight forward. Use the minority colour to 'break' up the corners, middle straight edges top to bottom and wheel arches. Plenty of examples around (on the interwebs), varous books and forums... They do look fantastic in BRG with complementary galv cappings but only...

Most being the operative word. Since they were all gassers (Rover 3.5 V8, they fell by the wayside when the fleet went all diesel. There was a rumour that they may have been retro fitted with Perkins but that too didn't happen. No, Malaysia trialed them but the Volvo won the contract. I tried...

I think you are looking at "highway" setup.... It has the range to act like one of those "singlewide" transporters with the hyd cyl that picks up the hitch to compensate for road crown etc., when positioning said house. Stability would be compromised at highway speed if the casualty was...

Agree - the stock wheels/tyres on a driven axle are next to useless "off road". Got mine stuck on wet grass, luckily I was going up a 1 degree slope - virtually level and gravity got me back to traction. Nice mod with the bigger tyres (John's truck in VT looks great - search the NH rally)...

Searching locations can be helpful though distance depends upon shipment of part - some stuff can be posted therefore the world is your oyster, conversely a large vehicle part may need to be picked up "locally" depending on the effort the seller wants to go to..... then there is the S/S...

Deleted Question... Thought I would post this pic following the recent question.. HOWEVER the question seems to have disappeared! Very crafty! ........ You know who you are!!! Oh well - here goes anyway, you know, for future reference!, and 'cause this a informative thread so it's nice to BTT...

It's a small world - glad you found a gem. Hey Mike - don't know how I missed this thread!!! From the dropbox pics it seems that you have a pretty complete vehicle relative to it's military service - may have even seen service in the first Gulf War. The military registration 62 FL 06 will...

I am glad you added the ha ha ha... We don't have fancy TV so the only time I have seen 'Myth busters' was at a hotel... The episode was relating to traveling with tailgate down to save fuel. ...BUSTED... They proved that there is a stationary plug of air held by the tailgate that the moving...

I'll guess Malaysia or Indonesia going by the terrain - red soil and use - big hardwood trees. Couldn't tell if the POV was RHD or not nor was there a decent shot of the plate but there was a little hint of those languages in the radio chatter. When I was there (both places), all they were...
