Thanks Wayne, sounds sensible.

I know I should have had uni-joint failure or something by now if that was indeed the case.
Some grease nipples look as if they have never been touched, I had to dig them out, others only required a wipe with a rag? The car was in showroom nick when I bought it, so I kow exactly how much gunge build up has occurred. The front hubs have most definitely never been greased or checked since I bought it, one was as good as empty.
Aaah, who knows....I have the surety of my own work now.

Thanksverymuch

Nice rig. You do tours?
PS Why you got two air compressors?

Richo,

Yes I am a Tag along tour guide and I think that the Troopie is just about right.
Why do I have two compressors?
I really have three, one for the diff locks and two for pumping up tyres.
The ARB compressor came with the vehicle when I got it. The Big Red and the Blue Tongue I have acquired over the years. I have the room and I do depend on them. Have two means I have a back up, or I came pump up two tyres at once.

Wayne,
Just interested but what is the weight of your rig fully loaded for camping,as I have the same vehicle but seem to have a lot less goodies and yet I end up 3.2 t when heading out which is just about as heavy as I would like to go.
