Difference between Perentie and standard Defender?

[Disco Muppet]

Afternoon.
I was trying to explain the difference between the Perentie and a standard Deefer to a mate yesterday, just wondering what the key differences are?
Obviously all the army toys like the bonnet tool mounts, blackout switches etc, but are there any glaring differences between say perentie hard top and a 3.9 isuzu county?
Cheers

If the 3.9 ISUZU turbo/engine has been one of the souped up ones...then some gearbox components have a service life that's terrifyingly short (under severe military hooning...)

:twisted::twisted::twisted:Only the 6X6 Perentie has a turbo engine and it is in no way souped up.

What happens after they get released and then modified makes them no different to a chipped Tdi or TD5. If you buy a modified vehicle you take the risk.

...and i am using the lt95 from a perentie because it is the only one apart from the isuzu box to take a turbo isuzu imo.

Maybe mr quag is thinking about Armygeddon? A vehicle that only sort of looked like a Perentie.

Hmmm, what a disaster that turned out to be, and what a waste of a decent ROPS cab, even though it is narrowed I could've used that:(

Longitudanal roof racks for carrying a tinnie (no, really)
Higher rear roofline to allow for the extra height of the rear pax
Centre console F88 mounts X2
Spotties
Brush bars
Front bar Hilift rack and Highlift
Belt driven compressor with over-rev dis connect and 5m air hose
Single Rear facing rear seat and seat rails
2X Large removeable Side rear storage bins
2 X batteries in Pax side front storage locker
Waterproof slide out box in Drvr side front locker
Extensive tool kit in addition to normal CES (include tyre patching kit)
2X Double rear jerry carriers
Rear diff blackout light
PTO Winch
Heavy duty front axle with 4pinnion diff carrier
Most obvious；HiMiler Custom Xtra grips on split rims

You forgot the heavy duty front axle with 4 pinion carrier Dave!

..............and I understand that the body is actually a few inches wider to accommodate 3 grunts and clobber across the front.

6x6 Perenties only - 4x4s are normal size

[MLD]

There is an article in the current Land Rover Owners International mag on the Ozi Perentie covering both the 6x6 and 4x4 models incl its genesis and military service.

Please explain? LIKE how much taller..

They only have 215mm of ground clearance under the diff right? Doesn't sound that high:confused:

[BadCo.]

I read somewhere that they sat an inch taller then a normal defender. Not sure where I read that from, but next time my Land Rover buddy comes over I can measure it.

Diff clearance isn't suspension height, its Tyre height.
