spotted at Kununurra this arvo,

this is a cousin of the Iveco Daily 4x4 sharing many components. It has a European rego, but note RangeRover Club Victoria sticker.

I love the idea, but have to ask, why anyone would take the well styled Iveco and turn it into this.. Hey ho, acquired taste I guess.

I can see why they named it T-Rex

they are quite a bit smaller than the Iveco, this one is quite light too, AUW loaded is 3500kg, even tho GVM is 5500

Its a longer Wheelbase but quite narrow compared to the Iveco and has a fairly cramped cab, very much like LandRover in that you need window down for elbow room :)

It would be interesting to overlay 101 dimensions on these drawings, just for comparison 101" = 256 cm
101 =184.2cm overall width = wider than T-rex
101 =155cm track (front) = wider than T-Rex
101 =228cm = lower than T-rex.

One thing about the T-Rex is has far better brakes than the Daily 4x4 , using better specced front ventilated rotors and rear discs , all brake components sourced from Iveco, but the Daily 4x4 only has solid front rotors and rear drums ???

This guy averages 12.5 L/100km and has over 2000km range from one fuel stop. his website is www.kasbah.ch but you need chrome to translate from german.

These trucks would be a viable alternative to a 101 / OKA buyer and I do hear a rumour that Bremach have taken notice at how well the Daily 4x4 is selling here and are tooling up for RHD ;)

Interesting stats.

I reckon that truck would look 100% better if all those stripes/decals were removed, and it went back to being a plain white truck....

Thanks for posting.

Looks good, but I'd probably choose a different interior design, and it would be good to be able to cook inside in bad weather.

101 - 50db louder than a T Rex :)
