Rear differential gear T=37:9 ratio 4.11:1 H233B axle Nissan Patrol Y61 factory

The story began with a 1936 Thornycroft dismantled... its rear axles and gearbox were installed in a Leyland Badger.

Why? Because this modification helped the now famous postman Tom Kruse deliver mail to the most remote parts of Australia for the next 25 years. Pioneers like Tom, who had to rely on off-road vehicles that could handle the harsh Australian terrain, opened the eyes of the country. The legendary Bill King of Australian Adventure Tours (AAT Kings), one of our first customers, set up his shop in the back of the four-wheel drive Bedford he bought from us. Since 1960, our company has been learning from these pioneers - sometimes choosing the harder path. While every vehicle has its strengths, each also has weaknesses that can force them to stop in even the most desolate places.

We learned what works well and how to make a vehicle stronger so that it can still travel safely through dangerous yet beautiful landscapes.

It all started with Bedfords and Leylands, then continued with LandCruisers and Patrols, right up to today's rapidly evolving off-road equipment market, which is now pioneering its own path.

Over the years, the knowledge we have shared with our customers has resulted in over 40,000 4WD parts.

It is the culmination of 50 years of engineering, testing and manufacturing that has enabled us to serve other continents, including Africa.

As a customer, you are part of this journey, and we appreciate your contribution!
