Anyone need some aluminum. ?


This is about half of what we have stock piled at work ATM.

Edit: each bundle is approx 500 kg

You've got a couple of pallets up the back there on a bit of a lean Vince.

What do you make with that?

 

[VinceGU05]

the pallets are ok.. they dropped the bundles when unloading.. the strapping couldnt take it and some of them broke.. so they put those bundles on a pallet to move them.

high pressure diecast automotive parts. 97% of what you see there will end up in the US as a casting. for either GM or ZF.

I have a 12,000lb Warn winch plus the steel bull bar plus driving lights...standard torsion bars really weren't up to the task so ordered some 36mm I think rock crawlers from the states....then broke the bracket that strengthens them and cracked both lower control arms around the insertion points....so had to re do the lot to beef it all up....bullet proof now.

I had a place one hour south of Melbourne on the Mornington Peninsula and at Cape Schank dusk and dawn the roos would be as thick as flies.....I stopped driving the little sports car I had at those times and just drove the cruiser at not much over 40kph....it was mad...heaps of bad accidents along there at those times...roo strikes 5 times a week easily.

i know that stretch well enuff to avoid evenings if possible

Coring 900mm diameter holes through granite

digging massive root mass with tungsten saw today i missed gas line by a pooftinth & amazin luck as it was exploratory test hole & had i not found it i'd sent stump grinder in after me and he would'a found and it would'a been bad





and howz this telstra line lifted clear by growing tree, i had to hand dig out stump coz mr telstra said would cost a bundle to cut relay his

 

[460cixy]

Lucky yours had some conduit around it, I found a Telstra line under a stump the other day - no conduit just there in amongst the roots. Amazing

Yep

Mine was, it's now a bit more like a recycled Cat D9. As things broke and began to stuff up I bit the bullet and redid the lower control arms and torsion bar brackets.....solid as now.

 

[460cixy]

For the price of those things you shouldn't have to do that **** obviously no fit for purpose

 

[Creeker]

Thanks for the nightmare pics, ruined the day now ! lol

Gas should be 600mm deep, doesn't look that deep Derwoodi, that tungsten chain must be handy too, must chop out cutter bars
using them in that cr*p. ?

Haven't heard a truer word re Telstra 460, I took out an old lead covered phone line couple of years back in Maffra,
flat out being 125mm below ground level.....cost close to $100 for repair which was cheap to some since.

And hanging it on Toyotas, very funny for a pommy wanna be who drives a horse cart with a motor at 100kph on a good downhill coasting
with a tail wind.......lol

I bet ya even eat cucumber sandwiches and have a tartan car blanky with a woven cane encased thermos

You shouldn't. But it's a compromise suspension. More than 95% of the time is spent on the road and the IFS kills the live axle on the road in every way....but durability and suspension travel suffer....for what I use it for it is now ideal.

Don't think so mate and don't have to to weld half a d9 under it to cart a bullbar around and some lights around

 

[WidowMaker_1]

I don't need a bullbar for roos on my landcruiser ,I have a 308 and sunroof

 

[VinceGU05]

the early cruisers with IFS have been nothing but trouble.. even if they dont go off road.

 

[WidowMaker_1]

Mine goes everywhere I need for on the farm use or elsewhere on state Forrest dirt roads , granted I don't get out amongst the suburban 4wd weekend warrior crowds ,but when living on a farm going out hard 4wheel driving in the Bush ain't high on the agenda we just take the tractor

 

[Creeker]

You're not telling me 460 that Landrovers don't have issues.......are you ?

 

[Snowy01]

So, anyone else had a problem with there gransfors being "to" sharp???

 

[Snowy01]
