You could just crack the lower mount and you soon know if theyre cooked without needing to completely remove them. Have a good breaky, i think King Kong Bundy did my mounts up

May as well, i spent months jerking around, contacting a gazillion so called expert to end up with those Dobinsons
laziness set in. did check thou and no signs of leaking stains but didnt remove bolts to check .
when i get back i will be going over all of them .
did you buy through ebay ?
Just pop the bottom bolt, they should extend slowly, if they take a bit of effort to push back then they are usually okay if its easy to push back then they are stuffed.
i live in the west of outer melbourne i would need a cut lunch and cordial to go to Dandenong .
are these the same ones ?

Who care who made this up, this is serious, the tall poppy syndrome has no place here. Dont denigrating a national ... no global ... heroNot bad @Crusty181 but did you happen to notice the date on that release?
Bit of play time recently, whilst avoiding comittment and obligation
When the factory's congested with too much going on and space is at a premium it can be a bit tight to use the car to maneuver the van inside.
On those ocassions I have an Alko Power Mover I can occasionally use to get the van tucked away, but over time and with the mover levering the 3.2t tandem behemoth via the single jockey clamp around tight corners, Ive trashed both the mover and the factory clamp. Its a little hard to give much of a crap when i get home from anywhere.
I decided to make a bolt on twin jockey clamp, and rebuild the mover before one completely fails. Ive left the original in place and ill continue to use it out camping, and Ive added the new one to the other side just for the mover. (The only casualty was the Expandas Downunder sticker)
(Anyone else mounted their gas bottle under rhe ball hitch?? Seems to work)
In other news we now have a factory roof mounted winch and storage system for the RTT and boat loader, a little reminiscent of Thunderbird 2 in selecting the right pod dependant on the next job.

I think looking at the 4 pulleys and rope it’s closer to Sputnik 1
The gas bottle under the hitch is world leading though
That photo is Sputnik 1. Youll love Sputnik 2, Sputnik 1's double pulleys kept twisting and yesterday replaced with singles, along with another 6 pulleys added (because it seems i love pulleys, who would have guessed)
Electric winch added at some point.
You should put your gas bottle under the hitch, get in before i Franchise it
Is there a point im missing having an offset axle on a tractor jockey wheel. Im in trouble if there is because i chopped mine up, serviced it and put it back together straight. Offset, it places stupid and un-necessary angular pressure on every component. Steering it was an absolute b&%$h, and ive shagged every part of it including the original chassis clamp
Ive ordered 2 x 680kg positioning jacks to eliminate the twisting issues made by tight manoeuvring a dual axle, i only need to lift the rear tyres off the floor 5mm and it should float about like a single axle on the front wheels
