    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.

      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 :)

      More the strap is on his tow ball? I see you only did a tow recovery but even so why run the risk and why even demonstrate that. @@daring2venture671

      @@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..😄

    Brilliant set up mate. Love the canopy.
    Just wondering if you have Salisbury diffs?

    Hi Benji,
    I have recently purchased a 90 6x6 myself. Please, How did you get on with the free wheeling hubs?
    Regards Thomo

      hey mate, I found the solution and changed the seals. check ou tone of my other videos, where I go through the whole process. not that big a job in the end. Thanks for watching. let me know how yo go :)

    Love the rig, bought a pinzgauer 6x6 vector PPG, not very tall, so thinking of a roof extension, might take a leaf out of your design.....

      Thanks mate, it's still a work in progress, so never really finished. the Canopy is great! but many things I would have done differently so reach out if you want to know more. looking forward to our next trip away later this year. cheers :)

    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?

    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
      @daring2venture671  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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
    @journeymanadventure 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

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

    @lorenzeyewear 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    mate never do that again you do not use a snatch strap on the tow ball unless you want to kill someone i relise it was only slow but you still dont do this many people have been killed doing this

      cheers for the feed back mate, I had to pull another car out recently, and yes, kept it off the tow hitch :)

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

    • @daring2venture671
      @daring2venture671  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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.

      I appreciate that, for the military. Totally unnecessary and ruins the tracks for everyone and causes closures.
