@Henkie I completely disagree with the comments suggesting you that 6k isnt enough to sort a Troopy for Overlanding. I just drove my Troopy from NZ to Edinburgh and i spent about that to fit it out. In all honesty, shoving a mattress in the back and having 2 jerry cans for water and travelling...

Haha yep, what else!

I know you guys like pictures of 70 series as much as I do, so here are a few snaps I've taken whilst driving mine through south east Asia for the last few months 😁. Can you guess what work was being done to the one in the workshop? Haha

Roscofj73 - all good points, amd the only reason this was happening on this r151f was due to that bearing collapsing on the front of the transfer case. Given I will have a completely re built r151f and transfer case (throwing a new heavy duty clutch too), have any of you guys got any idea on...
