Very happy, it cruises well, is comfortable, Shonky rang me while I was driving - he was impressed that we could actually converse using speaker phone!
I've had a few issues, being a leaking vacuum pump and a broken after market wheel carrier (Fitted by previous owner.), but I must say I've only got positive things to say about Melbourne Land Rover, in particular Darren Barnett the sales rep I dealt with.
Trivetts in Parra sorted the pump under warranty, and MLR are going to replace the Wheel Carrier.
Still got a few things to do, ARB Bar, Winch, IPF lights, cargo barrier, drawer - the list continues!
And thanks to all who waved while I was in Sydney!
Bournie
Thanks everyone - keep 'em coming !!!
jaffa - bet ya can't drive that on the road. Cops have little sense of humour with that stuff. Mate's missus was pulled over in a 90 on 35's. Funy coz if you have a Hilux you can seem to get away with anything !
So do you actually drive it to your play places or trailer it ?!
Its definatly a trailer only rig to take to the 4wd parks .Quote:

BTW it really needs some 49% maxi xfer gears so it can crawl a little better
p.s.s u should come this weekend to the scenic rim weekend - an outers thing, u'll have a blast mate
Cant wait to get it out for a run just sorting out a few minor fixes Harley pointed out when i picked it up nothing major . And remounting the drivers seat so i can actually see where im goingQuote:

Adding my 1985 110 dual cab tray back Land Rover to the list. This truck was a personal import from overseas and was originally left hand drive. At some point it had a full off body rebuild and now has
# - Fully gal chassis.
# - Dual batteries
# - Runs dual fuel ( LPG and petrol ) and sports a worked 4.4 P76 V8 Add an Edelbrock manifold, counter balanced crack shaft, forged pistons etc.
Many more mods and improvements to come ... :)
