Thread: Show us your Deefers !

No vibration, as all suspension and steering geometry is the same. Extra noise comes from the motor as the revs are higher. Sitting on 100km/h the car is closer to 2450rpm where previously it was around 2000. Noise from the straight cut gears is negligible. The tyres create greater noise and they are acceptable. Idealy an overdrive should be fitted to return open road gearing to standard, though overdrives are not compatible with the Puma transfer gears. To swap the transfer then an overdrive is an expensive 2 steps back 3 steps forward exercise when the noise is n't bad enough to justify the work.

have to say, that is one nice truck
great effort, congratulations

There is also a bloke in the Hunter offering Portals for sale along with other LR gear (came across him on Ebay). The ones in the photo were engineered about a month or so ago and comply to RTA specs in NSW, so are legal for street use.

Wow, very interesting to see, where did you find the portals? obviously 2nd hand from someone? what size tyre are you running and are the tyres also engineered in NSW?

Picked up this Td5 110 a couple weeks back from a farmer near Hamilton VIC.

He was apparently going to do a cape york trip in it with the wife but she thought it was a bit too unrefined for her tastes so his loss is my gain

It has an AULRO sticker on the back window and AULRO fuel cap cover, i was told the previous owner lived in Melbourne... anyone know who owned it?

I couldn't help myself as i wanted a deefer for ages now and this one had all the right bits on it and not too many k's. Had some fun in it up at Lithgow the other week... gotta watch out for those bogs though!

















It wasn't very deep... but the ruts were huge... 37" tyre equiped hilux's were no doubt in there before me, she didnt stand a chance
