Still has the Land Rover axle housings.

38in tyres and still using the LR axle housing even with modified axles etc is going against the grain in a purpose built offroad machine isn't it?

Also where is the wheel travel?

$30k :eek:

Active Cornering Enhancement?

This was built and for sale from "HUMBUG" engineering in Sydney with another one they built for the Saudi market i think. (exact same pictures from when it was for sale last time)

I remember inquiring about them about 12 months ago maybe.

I am pretty sure that it was $30 000 from the maker 12 months ago. closer to 25 i thought but i could be wrong.

Speaking to Humbug 12 months ago they had made quiet a few to go overseas.

Anyway i cant see Qld Transport allowing it to be registered up here.

From what I've read on Outer Limits I didn't think you could get hydraulic steering passed anyway. I don't know how it works but I imagine if you lost hydaulic pressure you would have no steering instead of just heavy steering like if your conventional power steering failed.

It would certainly not pass in Qld. Nothing does :mad:

Not knowing what type of steering it is but the add does say Hydro assisted steering so that is your basic power steering or Hydraustatic spool controling a ram on the draglink or could be a mechanically operated spool operating a ram, all of which if you lost Hydraulic pressure you would still have steering but damn heavy.

Dont know what would pass in QLD, I have heard from some of you guys up there that they can be a bit disagreeable on modded vehicals though It seems chassis lengthening and stuff like that seems to be done up there rather than NSW or Vic so it must just be the day you go in like here with Vic roads.

Yea, hydraulic assist is a ram connected to your steering arm, "assisting" your steering, similar to what was used on falcans....well generally fairlanes in the eraly 70's;) so if it failed you still have steering,, albeit with greater effort required:eek:, as opposes to FULL hydraulic, like you'd find on alot of forklifts:)
