I got 75k from the original ute tyres as well. The Yokohama replacements are looking about 30% left at 123k right now!

There are stiffer springs available for cheap cost like these, I was going to get a set.

Rocky roads can tear up a set of tyres. I drive a lot of freeway and highway klm so I get above average life from my tyres.

You shouldn't need the poly airbags with stiffer springs. The bags are pretty pricey too! I have found the shocker bushes cop a fair bashing on the old EF wagon and have replaced them twice since fitting GT GAS rear shocks and 1 ton springs about 180k ago. The shocks are still in good working order unlike the hopeless front struts. I have towed and carried heavy loads 100s of times with the set up.

The Terry has a completely different rear end though so I don't know what is best there? I have seen heavy duty shocks listed but they are not cheap. The standard ones are huge so they should be fine although mine is a newer model than yours I don't know if they upgraded them! Ford make a lot of revisions to things like that as they get more Klm of experience in the field.

I would be interested to see how they perform. Ours sags a bit when loaded up so I am planning on the heavy duty springs when I pull my finger out. I really should fix the exhaust before I end up with some burnt out valves.

I have been working on the pergola last weekend. I have closed the ends in with clear polycarb and the birds are hitting it which was the idea. The buggers have been crapping all over the place and on my nice oregon beams and paving. I got one of the plastic owls from Bunnings I wonder if they work?

We had 5 chooks killed by a big ferral cat when we lived in Kyneton a few years ago. the bugger was quick and deadly. The dogs went nuts and by the time I went out to the chook yard they were dead and it took off over the fence.

Good one, I was looking for good tread, low klm ones a while ago.

I ended up getting 4 for the price of 3 on a Goodyear RACV members special deal for the month. If you are NRMA then keep a watch out for some of their deals.

I had to get a new set but they had lasted very well over 75 thousand klm.

I did the same on the old EF wagon but I have had it for over 250,000 klm, so I have bought a few new sets over the years.

any wagons for $800 Ash?

The terry will do another 100000 on the original engine no worries.

What oil are you using?

The tyres are a good score too. Did you get the springs?

We got a letter from the Ford dealer last week telling us there was a recall for the front ball joints and they would inspect and replace them if necessary.
