Guys, I've bit off more than I can chew.
I just can't afford it now. Although the hull will only cost me a slab, the hiring of a trailer, the fuel, an overnight stay etc Plus the bogie/wheel set I have purchased will set me back about $1000. The hilux slurps the fuel. The bogie/wheel set cost $425. The hull and bogies are on neighbouring properties a little north of Swan Hill. Does somebody want to take these over and soon? Here's a couple of pics of the wheels. Also included are some steering gear. All it will cost you is $425 (to me) and a slab (to the hull owner) and I'll provide you with the details. Last edited by Ryan; 04-03-10 at 10:33.

So Ryan,
Does that mean you'll be at Corowa? Guess my welcome was a bit premature. I've passed your info on to a chap in SwanHill. Regards Rick

Hi Rick,
Unfortunately no. Another bill in the mail today (this one for $1700) has officially sunk my battleship. Your welcome will be good one day Rick, one day. |

Hi Ryan,
sorry to hear that you have had to call off your trip, on the subject of the other bits wheels etc, I received a phone cal from the agent who was handling the sale ,a couple of weeks ago but it was not worth the drive for me, keep looking you will find one, but dont rush in a and buy a dog, there is an awful lot of work in some of them, better to get a good hull if you can,you can then see the light at the end of the tunnel, I have been there and done that, this comment is based on 40 years of playing with these toys and is only said in the best of interest, Good luck Best regards Ron

Built a trailer for my carrier that worked well, until it was caught in the warehouse fire! Had a wee unloading mishap with it and was nearly testing my carriers waterproofing! There was a 4ft fall to the right and a further 4ft to a small river.
Trailer was really good and you could stand on the mudguards to tarp the carrier and a real timesaver was to just connect it to a front winch to hold her in, chock the tracks and you were away. Alas no more as you can see. I love the Australian drive on carrier trailer with the hinged towing bar, brilliant, want one anyone? Nigel
