We get quite a few questions about Modifications we have done to Jumbo Hopefully this video may help explain a few of these questions. I am sure there are better ways to achieve better outcomes but this is what we have done.

Falcon was built for Charity based offroad Rallies. The most demanding was the Trans Australia 15 day rally that Noel and I completed. We slept beside the car each night . Normally there were 4 to 5 timed stages per day except for the 3 day crossing of the Anne Biddell which had no timing stages.

    I was hooked, and watched to the end. There are two rites of passage for newcomers: your first lock, and crossing Lake Alexandrina. This boat had a magic crossing. I did too, but was in a fleet leaving Wellington in darkness to enter the lake on first light, and be across before wind came (typically midday).

    I've done from the top of Lake Hume to the mouth in my 9 m four-berth shallow-draft cruiser. I've also done the lonely Wentworth - Renmark section in two preserved paddlesteamers. Your video brings back fond memories, and showcases our Australian river and sun for a world audience. I've been putting up my photos to my flickr site, as a thankyou to the many people who have placed their videos on youtube: kayakers, tinnies, cruisers, paddleboats. People inspired to follow in your wake can do most of it in hired boats, and Goolwa - Renmark commercially. My favourite is preserved PS Marion, based at Mannum and operated by volunteers. Every 2 years it voyages to Berri for survey slipping.

The new Spring pack from Gympie spring works made such a difference . I have fitted Koni adjustable shocks and coil overs in the front. If you would like to chat my number is 0422600109. Cheers Don

  • @alman3071
    @alman3071 Місяць тому

    Thanks for sharing. Please help to clarify the following: Most sprinters bounce like yo-yos in deep soft sand then get stuck especially on inclines. This is mainly due to soft springs in the back and loss of traction. Your Jumbo does not. Did you overcome this with suspension upgrades? And with a rear locker? I would like to ask you opinion on the Agile Offroad Suspension upgrade (you can google Sprinter 2500 4×4 RIP Kit) and their ARB locker for the Sprinter ? do you think they will solve the problem? Of course tires and tire pressure is going to be taken care off also.

  • @alman3071
    @alman3071 Місяць тому

    Do you think the Agile off-road RIP suspension kit upgrade will have the same effect to overcome the yo-yo of the sprinter in sand?

What modification would you recommend, we intend to do some beach driving, Gib River Road, nothing to serious. How do you find the ground clearance and does diff lock much difference?

    • @NuMoonvl4936
      @NuMoonvl4936 Місяць тому

      sorry for the slow response Underbody protection engine gearbox and diff plus hand brake and bottom shocky mounts. taller tyres to give more wall flex and softer ride when deflated , we changed shocks to Koni , diff lock not necessary if not pushing it too hard, our new spring pack is a big improvment. over just adding an extra leaf which we did first. Aggie keeps suggesting we do a mods video cheers.
