Gotta say, this Def is a top truck.
Would have no trouble converting me to a Fender, if it
was like this one;):D

I was just a little bit sick!

[Grimace]

Spent all that money you would think he would have moved the handbrake lever

What a **** for spending $90k ( my arse) on a 94 fender, that looks like it is more show pony than work horse. Even if I had the $$$ I wouldn't spend $30k+ on that...another bloody fender dreamer ( hey Camo ;)),

[Xtreme]

Are portal axles legal in NSW?

[Psimpson7]

To be fair Stevo, although its looks are somewhere between Questionable and hideous, the mechanical spec is very good.

4 wheel steer
Portals etc etc

[Busman]

Needs a paint job and lose the flares then Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet :D:D:D

The flares look like Jeep specials ;)
Also he could of picked a better colour to paint it.
But man the mechanical spec is impressive :eek::eek::eek:

That figure actually seems reasonable given the spec list...

HS 2.8L INTERNATIONAL $10k + fitting
ZF 4 SPEED AUTO WITH A GKN OVERDRIVE $4k for both easy
TRANSFER LOW RANGE CRAWLER GEARS (MAXI DRIVE) $1500+fitting
MAXI DRIVE PORTAL DIFFS, LOCKERS FRONT & REAR
HYDRAULIC REAR STEERING, $ the full rear steer kit was $15-30k ALONE. The portals+lockers+rear steer would have cost $30-50k for the parts alone.
WARN 95OOLBS WINCH WITH REMOTE & PLASMA ROPE $2k
TYRES MICKEY THOMPSON BAJA CLAWS WITH SIDEBITERS 325/80 R16 $2k?

So we are up to $50-70k for just the big stuff.

The starting price seems very reasonable (unlike many others).

And the "show pony" tag :confused: Show me a rangie or disco with full chassis and body which would be more capable offroad???

Agreed. Its not a shiny look at me rig, it's got everything you need plus some extras, and ready to mess with the big boys (it would be way more capable then any vehicle I have ever owned). I am actually watching the ad in hopes that it doesnt sell. If it doesnt I will be making an offer and I will be visiting the bank. I want it.

[Outlaw]

Well said Ben :)

It's hard to believe we have never heard of this vehicle - at least in this forum..

[worraps]

Saw one similar to this at tuff trucks a few years back was blue from memorie but setup very similar (may be the same truck new paint job?)

either way awsome looking truck would love to have some spare $$$

I'd say so based on the rego.
I must say the sandy colour is not my cuppa tea but has some interesting bits.
Jeep Flares?
Interesting rear end.
Love the big cab too.
Reckon that 2.8 motor linked to a ZF would be fun.
Too much checker plate!
Wonder if he'll get the $30K - might take a while.

When Maxi drive were still going i asked about the portals, approx $15000.00 for the set of 4, and you had to do your own engineering cert.
Would love to know how many sets Maxi actually made.

Many a time have we seen anyone of those vehicle types and made comment....hence my comment to Camo about another fender dreamer. Geez...where's all the backing for the top bloke ;) who was selling a rangie for $50k+ or something and was on 4WD action.....fender owners/ lovers must be a more sensitive bunch :p.

Yes...I am aware of the tech spec and that there are some $$$ invested....I am also aware there's not one person here who would spend over $30k to buy that vehicle, not to say its not a wicked beast as to be sure it is. I will be sure to post only in GCLRO private area's with "in" jokes ;),

Fair enough, however a few of your fellow GCLROians seemed not to get your "joke" either???

Btw and OT - is the LROCB still active? There seem to be many GCLRO members on here however few LROCB members. I am somewhat out of touch...

I do, but then I own a Rangie and as you know Ben I don't take too much seriously. Some people need to lighten up I agree.

The GCLRO is a forum based club and started on AULRO and the rest is history. A fe ex-RRC members such as myself defected to the GCLRO a few years back and it's been great since (I won't air why I left in public, but many of my fellow club members already know this).

I'm still in the LROCB although not very active anymore (GCLRO do harder trips now, all the hardcore blokes in the Brissie club have buggerd off :mad:). Yes they don't get on here much and are pretty quiet on the forum front.

And what about the big fat purple furry one???

Hmm - I thought the RRC and Disco owners were the ones with soft "oil of olay hands" (hey Slunnie???)??? :p :D

At least Defender owners know a bit about the different models. I was once on a joint RRC / LROCB trip that Trav organised. Chris from the LROCB was also there with his beautifully restored 1953 S1. One of the RRC members got out of his D2, walked up to Chris and said "my daughter wants to know if she can have a ride in your jeep?"
