33x12 ATs
I'll be looking to get a set of Basset wheels with beadlocks and a set of 33x12.5 muds.
Yeah, I'll be getting a uni with a grease nipple. I'll give em a squirt after each drowning.
Cha1se, look in the "tips & tricks" sticky and find the TTB thread, it's a wealth of info and some really good reading. Also, the "inner" that dohc_chump refers to is the passenger side (or more accurately your drivers' side, right side, etc) inner that has the u-joint for the axle to "bend" (center u-joint)...yea, monobeam d44 really isn't stronger than the TTB version. I'd say stick with 35" tires or smaller and keep some spare outers with you.
Btw, I'm jealous, I'd love to have a right hand drive F-truck, especially a bullnose!!!

Haha, RHD, why would you want that?
By bullnose, do you mean with a Bullbar? I cant believe yous dont have em. I drilled a deer square on at about 80km (impact speed, I was slowing from 120) and all it did was twist the bar until the bolts tookup the boltholes. They def do their job.
Cheers guys,
Chaise

Actually "bullnose" is kind of the new unofficial nickname of the 80-86 F-trucks (i.e. 73-79 is dent side, etc.). I think RHD would be diff, plus they're cool looking when u peek in the door, it'd prolly throw some people off

Also, how is the clutch pedal setup for a manual? I see no reason for it to be reversed, and what is the shift pattern like? I've been curious for a long time and never really looked into it. You can get RHD jeeps over here, but they're auto only and I refuse to believe that all that's available anywhere else lol

I too would love the have a F-series with the steering wheel on the right side, just to mess with people's heads. Everything around here has the wheel on the wrong side, but at least we drive on the right side of the road.......
There's a couple newer Ford vehicles sold down under that I'd love to get my hands on. A diesel Ranger, or a XR Turbo Falcon Ute. Why won't Ford bring these to the USA?!

Correct. Means you can hold your beer with the right and shift with the left hand while steering with your knees.
Oh, umm, I mean, it's legal to do that in Oz.
You are sooo right.
Ford have been getting their **** together lately down here. We cant workout why they aren't send the stuff over to yous. We're all worried that the "one Ford" will destroy the Falcon (and all of it's front engine/rear drive glory).
You think the XR6 Turbos are good, checkout the FPVs. They crank the boost up a little. Now they've got the Coyote engine too, blown, plenty of power but so so much torque.
Here's some links to drool over:
