2.2db in that position is both shorter and will probably give you very similar range to the 6 that you broke. Have a look at Ronny Dahl's channel 4 Wheeling Australia where he did a test on exactly this.
Great Video, thanks for sharing. There's somewhere in Australia that makes swing down aerial mounts. If the base was up on the top corner of your bar work, the antenna could lay flat along the top of the cabin in woody situations, and give better radio performance when normal conditions suit to have it vertical as there would be no cabin shielding. Take care, stay safe, have a fantastic Festive Season, and enjoy your adventures in the New Year, Cheers.
Thanks BigKev glad you liked it. I will tell Karl about the swing down aerial as we certainly will need a better solution for the future. Hope you have an amazing Christmas and New Year and 2021 gives everyone a better year. cheers Katty
Awesome video guys! Loveday adventures! What a game! I thought you were actually driving that dune buggy and was thinking that you were a racing car driver in your last life!! Looked like a lot of fun!! Keep up the great videos and stay safe!
Love the little mog... would have split the tray to get more flex out of the chassis and still kept it on a diet ... guess atm it’s a outback truck not a great divide truck... 4x4 is always a compromise. Worked out of one great machine.
yeah we love it and gets us to most of the places we want to go. still really working out what she can and can't do in comparison to the old Nissan Merry Christmas Katty
@@nowhereboundtouring Hey Karl, you can now buy and auto torque diff from All Terrain Warriors. Not quite a locker, but will transfer torque away from the spinning wheel to the wheel with the grip so would be way better than the standard open diff. Im also waiting for a reply from Nospin diffs to see if they make one of their auto lockers for the Isuzu front diff. Will let you know I know they do an auto locker for the rear
Gday Andy, We have the ATW front diff center. It is very good on sand, and on flat mud ( I actually think it is better than air lockers in these cases) but it is no good when you lift wheels. They say you can foot brake it to get the torque across to the wheel with traction, but I have found in real life this does not work. If I had a choice I will always pick air lockers. Cheers, karl
@@nowhereboundtouring Hey Karl, thanks for the explanation. Have you seen this vid? th-cam.com/video/gAljVxg_C5w/w-d-xo.html This guy has the same front auto locker and his truck seems pretty much unstoppable
Hi Andy, Our truck performs about the same as the one in the video link ( ours is heavier). They perform very well in ruts and cross axle holes. Even deep steps don’t really worry the truck, as long as there is traction it goes over most stuff. It’s when you get harder and lift the front wheel completely off the ground, that the front lsd does not perform great. They are very capable, but I do not like slippery tracks. They pick up speed on the down slope, and can’t be stoped as easily as a 3t 4WD. Cheers, ka4l
That was very interesting, I have the same truck. I think a couple of those quite difficult sections are more suited to the narrower vehicles they were designed for. Not saying in a real pinch you couldn't do them, but I think your sides and maybe some other stuff may have gotten a bit bent if you had proceeded. I didn't know you had a CVJ replaced, what was the reason? The flares attached to the doors certainly did get in the way when you were fully articulated, I have AT tyres on mine, not the more aggressive tyres you have, I wonder if your tyres are of a slightly bigger diameter than mine? Are your tyres the Patriot RT units? I'm glad you have done this, it gives me more understanding on what the truck can do and within reason what is a bit difficult for it to do. We are still in lock down in Melbourne............................ My antenna is in the same position, but mine finishes just below the Dakar bars top; hopefully I won't do what you have done. Is yours an AMT transmission? Mine is manual. What is your trucks GVM as it was for this stuff? I'm guessing around 5.3T to 5.5T.
Thanks for watching Allan. Agree a lot of the tracks are quit narrow but we figure most tracks aren't made for a truck, so guess that will be life with a truck. The CV was replaced 5 off road hours ago, initial cause of failure is not really known, but finally broke in the sand at Jack Smiths Beach Victoria. Tyres are 37/13.5 Gladiators. We went for the long antenna for the range ie hangs above the cab for better reception. How does the shorter one perform? We have AMT transmission and vehicle ways 7 tonne. Hope you get out of lock down soon and hit the tracks. Cheers Katty and Karl
Was very interested to see just how the truck performed in 4WD situations........afraid it failed to enthuse me....I wouldnt tackle the Simpson in it although I am impressed with the fit out....keep up the great posts on here....
thanks Graham, we do plan to do the Simpson in the next year or so but want to get a good feel for the truck before we tackle it. Check out our latest video STUCK it shows a bit more sand stuff. Glad you enjoy our vids Cheers Katty
Gday Derek, There are no “common” off the shelf lockers. ATW make the torsion bias lsd for the front, and AEV( I think it is them) have a rear air locker available. Cheers, karl
Nice vehicle How is your box body attached to the truck frame? We have intermediate frames as rhombuses or spring bearings (Fixed at the back with screws and springs at the front). So can the frame twist and the tires have more contact with the ground. For this purpose, no forces will be directed into the structure. Sorry for my "google" english Bernd
Hi Bernd, our truck tray is mounted to the chassis via six spring mounts (basically it sits on the chassis and the springs allow it to move away from the chassis as it flexes) Our box is mounted directly to the tray. Cheers Karl
No, that is for vehicles over 11t gvm, but must obey all weigh bridge directions and heavy vehicle alcohol laws for the state you are in, normally 0.0. Cheers
Hi Karl, I’m very seriously considering buying a Canter or a Isuzu at the end of the year for traveling plus towing my caravan I would like to have a chat with you guys about the does and the don’t S and especially can it tow a 3 ton caravan up the highway without holding up all the traffic I currently own a Ford Ranger and I’m very happy with it but knowing that I’m over weight I want to upgrade to a small truck for that reason( towing) but still get out and about the country I used to have a canter back many years for work and it was incredible for climbing in low range but I’m open for any help I can get regardless of the make. Cheers Amos 👍🍻🇦🇺
Hi it had already broken when in Vic had the cv replaced and didn't want to get out into extreme stuff till tested. Right choice as it did break as again the vid shows. Was so disappointed but hope to find good places soon Cheers Katty
Its removable the gme antenna you can get the 2.2db one which is shorter, the part number is AW4704B
Thanks Mirza will consider that one.
Cheers Karl

Thanks for watching Steven, glad you enjoyed. Trying to give people a chance to see the country if they can't. Cheers Katty
They need diff locks a and more hp for that sort of 4x4ing drum brakes also get lots of dust in them
sure do, can purchase a rear air locker but front not available. cheers Karl

Hi. Great video.
Are there any off the shelf front and rear diff lock options? Maybe LOKKA for front and factory for rear?
Gday Derek,
There are no “common” off the shelf lockers. ATW make the torsion bias lsd for the front, and AEV( I think it is them) have a rear air locker available.
Cheers, karl
@@nowhereboundtouring ah,tnx. Have you since installed any of the 2? I suppose its also quite pricey?
Derek,
We have the ATW front diff centre.
It works great in mud and sand.
Cheers, karl
Nice vehicle
How is your box body attached to the truck frame?
We have intermediate frames as rhombuses or spring bearings
(Fixed at the back with screws and springs at the front). So can
the frame twist and the tires have more contact with the ground. For this purpose, no forces will be directed into the structure.
Sorry for my "google" english

Good to see the truck in action, bought same truck but still waiting on my tray before build up. What were your doing to break the cv
Hi Mark,
We were not doing anything bad, don't know when it initially happened but it finally broke in the sand under full lock reversing.
Cheers Karl
Always good to find your limitations, then you can modify.
absolutely Cheers Katty
Fuso canter for the win

Gday guys great video have spoken to atw what are going to do bout wheel rubbing on front gaurds

You have a pie warmer!! What the!!
Hi my friend, what brand of air locker is available for isuzu nps?
The Isuzu has an LSD so at this stage that is what we are running. We wish there was something like our old Nissan Lockers. Cheers Katty
Tyres down, n dont stop half way
Due to the fact it was dry, you could of come at it the other way, i reckon you would of got through
Cheers Dave, possibly 👍 Katty
Do these come stock 4x4?
Sure do mate 👍
