Superliner RW700 Steering axle

Yes , I was under the assumption that the Australian Road Train Trucks were some of the toughest trucks in the world, especially the loads that are hauled and the dirt roads, Crossing rivers,, a lot more difficult than rolling down I40 with 80.000 most of the time. I assume it does take the stress off the main steering gear and frame mount, twisting in a tight spot but there are a LOT of Heavy Haulers with only one box .

I’m up for suggestions on polishing the Heard Guard and putting it back on when I get done or finding the big bumper it would have come with, we have had this truck almost 10 years, My Son has used it, That is the first time that guard has been removed. It’s a RW 753 Truck

I just polished my own bull bar my self

Came up okay, needs another polish 

I spent days welding and grinding all the bolt and rivit holes 

Of course every cock sucker without a truck told me they could still see imperfections 

Wankers are everywhere ha ha I

I will have to do the same thing, it’s pitted pretty good, I can tell you have been polishing on it , that’s the only way to do it, get messy!

Looks great to me Paul.....you simply transfered the dirt from the Bullbar to yourself...works everytime🤣

wonder are the roads a lot windier (dunno if that's the right spelling or not) than Australia 

Paul, NOT really!!! The road our bus took up from Cairns to the Tablelands were very similar to the American ones up into our eastern Appalachian mountains.. The sign said something like a 100 bends (curves) switchbacks in the next 20 KM.. We gained about 2000 feet of altitude at the same time.

[mrsmackpaul]

Yeah but that's the exception Brocky, most of our roads are very flat and straight 

What we call a mountain range is just a bump by world standards

Yes I’ve ripped a couple power dividers and  2 transmissions trying to pull a piece of equipment up a 12-14% Grade , I’m sure there are worse places to truck, but 10% is about my limit, I’m too old to be laying under a truck at night working on it . Double steering boxes are worthless when the driveshaft hits the ground. Brocky knows how it is up in Highlands and Scaly Mt .
