   Mistrial, If it was me for an offroad trailer I would go with steel framing. Steel preforms better in cyclical loading and long term fatigue life, less prone to cracking. Aluminum although...

   Those independent trailer axles appear to be well (if a little over) engineered. Just the thing for hauling along behind the Mog. That mint 4 hundy with all the bling either doesn't get ridden...

   The only ally box trailers I have had anything to do with cracked in all the big stress locations pretty quickly. And that's not even off road. Could have been poor design. Off road will stress a...

   As Thar has alluded to, it would be wise to do some sort of analysis as to what exactly you will do in your offroad camper. In many cases a 4x4 variant of a commercial common as mud light truck would...

   No he's saying I need to get my class 2 licence and then pick up a 1700 which will then become a huge time sucking project for the next couple of years :D

   The prime reason the NZ Army purchased this family of medium-heavy trucks is that the UK Defence Force offered them up real cheap. Back in the mid 00's the UK MOD put in an order for thousands of...

    The wheel was buried vertical, with the top about 300 from the surface. So yeah...a big hole. Quite a decent sized slot needs to be dug for the strop that enters the wheel centre, and joins to the...

    Don't be put off by the Class 2 thing. If you stay class one you limit yourself to a very cramped 4x4 dogbox. Class two gives you some proper room to work with. The 1300 initially looks good, but...

    Yes, had a quick look at them 2 yrs ago I think. One needed a new motor and another was on the verge of a rebuild. Both were sub 100K on the clock. I think if it happens it will end up being a 4wd...

    The guys still in the Army have pretty much nothing nice to say about them. Heavy, thirsty, oversize for NZ roads and far less capable than a 1700 Mog. Get stuck in places an experienced Mog driver...
