Hi Paul,

That's taken it's time hasn't it?

This is at Cobbett Hill then?

I had the same type of dream with a Gaz-66 on LPG!

Plenty of room inside and big enough/small enough and very capable off road

Hi, Welcome to the forum Ural 4320 is an interesting choice for your nomad vehicle, how much space do you need in the back? There is a post in the camper section comparing the internal space inside some of the popular soviet era Kung back boxes, this could be useful to see if you need a big brute li...

Still here and actually went into the back of the Gaz today to get something and started the Uaz up for the first time in 6 months the other day so not forgotten the trucks

That looks very useful as you say, perished rubber seems to be everywhere on our trucks after a certain time

My track rod ends are in perfect condition but it's just the rubbers that a shot, I'll have a look at getting a reel of this

Aspect wheels made me a set of 5 11x20 rims with Gaz-66 centres when we had exhausted every avenue to get any 18" tyres quite some time ago. It was quite a spendy exercise at the time. We literally tried everything to get K-70s or Stomils and all we could find were so-called "new" old stock which ha...

As I have gone over to the dark side with the Cummins diesel the spare V8 core unit I have is kind of surplus to requirements. This is parts complete but not a running engine. It is a core unit which would be useful to someone building a new engine from scratch as I did in 2016 I don't want to scrap...

ULEZ compliant?

Yes, in September 2020. Amidst all the bullsh*t rules that they themselves ignored. Were only "allowed" 30 people X( at the reception which included the photographer We had a great day but it wasn't what we wanted. Originally we wanted a cast of thousands including all you truck people in a field wi...

Totally mad but I love it

Another option would be setting it up as an Airbnb, I would definitely have booked that up when we were looking for a different night away after getting married. Plus then you haven't got to keep moving it far. Sure Charles could be talked into that after a few beers!

One for the brave, buy and drive home

Plenty of Russian interest and other obscure marques

Just got back from a two week trip up to the Western Isles of Scotland in the Gaz Unlike pre Cummins engined trips there was very little in the way of issues with the truck, a little loss of water from an ill fitting radiator cap which showed up on the A82 near Loch Lomond and what sounded like a ho...

£125 in donations from the forum meet sent

That's excellent. We couldn't make it unfortunately

Not sure what our movements will be at this time but will certainly bear it in mind, always a good weekend at Wagtails

Yes, without any donations from members the massive archive of information will be lost forever

Please dig deep, or certainly a few beers worth!

Don't want to take sides or start a debate but for truck watchers this horrible war is providing an interesting insight into what kit is still being used

This convoy definitely shows some much more elderly vehicles

Raking up an old post, did you sell the generator Dougie? It's actually the control unit I'm after, it was the one out of mine that I sold to Andy who you bought your truck from

I still have the generator itself and fancy cobbling it back together again

Cheers,

Colin

That belongs to Phil from Ramsgate who is on here

I bought 4 brand new Russian made tyres from Tarmot for not silly money, carriage was obviously quite expensive but they are such a good tyre it was worth it

Yes, I'd be up for that as well
