all ready for summer

ripped the top off the Perentie today :Y:

Memories of HATARI. Belting thru the tundra being chased by wild rhino's and Hefalumps.

Plenty of ventilation for those warm days.

The gods must be crazy :Y:

thanks mate, got two quads and still use them but this thing has a few more legs and can carry the genny and ummmm....stuff

The 6 wheelers were nice and I near on bought one. The Isuzu motor is a ripper! A lazy truck motor and does it all without raising a sweat.
A mate just bought a brand new in the crate- never been fitted 3.9 turbo for $600 from the govt auctions.

yeah those 6 wheelers are like a blank canvass,could make a great prospecting bus with one
used to send a few collectable old cruzas to the usa ten + yrs ago back east,they never got a diesel landcruiser in usa,so imported alot of 2hs,1hzs,12hts etc,then yrs later they got onto the isuzu 6s,someone started making adaptor plates and the motors they were pulling out of small trucks over there and turboing some to....

First run out prospecting today in the new toy. Love it! Can climb a lot of stuff my Cruisers struggle with and seems to do it effortlessly.

While the camo stands out in a domestic type environment.....



in the bush it just blends in with the surrounding shrubbery, if it wasn't for my friends Val and Karl I'd never have found the damn thing!

:Y: looks the goods MT where did you purchase it from / price range if you don't mind me asking.

:lol: :lol: you will have to put a flag on it otherwise the buffalo will run straight into it .

Hi RM,
Australian Frontline Machinery are the agents for all the ex mill stuff and flog it off once a month through Greys on line auctions.
Prices vary due to age, condition, variant, kilometres plus how many are going through the auction that month. Anywhere from $8000 to $15000

shite there cheap,inspired me to have a gander about,quite a few on gumtree,standard 6 wheel about $30k the cheapest,thats alot of truck,you see the new cruza utes converted to 6 wheelers,have to be talking $150k plus easy,why would ya bother when you can buy these,tuna is yours turboed,i thought most of them 3.9 isuzu were non turbo standard,two 6 wheelers i sqizzed at were turbo,check this one out

Nah non turbo, all the 6x6's are turbo'ed.
With it came a whole host of brand new spares...injectors, starter motor, alternator, snorkel, still in the plastic bags.

Plus we have a Landy graveyard here and it's surprising how much is interchangeable.

Cheers for that having a look tomorrow :Y:

Your bald plate should be referred as a "cabochon" My hubby has a nicely shaped Cab himself! And has a vast collection to protect that valuable gem! (CABOCHON ancient greek for bald head) Definitely named by a bald rockhound!

Lucky its invisible, looks highly vulnerable to drop bear attack.
