I doubt it conforms to the ADRs and, from how I read the standard, it does not conform to that.

Awseome input:rolleyes::no2:

You're not the only one to buy one, although I'm sending most of the superior stuff back, I've got recambered standard springs, no additional leafs, and the lightest coils Lovell's make, with Koni shocks, superior superflex front arms

Although I need to take to it with angle grinder as tyres foul inner gaurds, also gotta cut up front bar/grill to suit highmount

Unichip with 3.5" exhaust will do for now, nearly sank mine the other day, lucky I keep them stupid free wheeling hubs locked all the time, dropped into a big hole in a river in 2wd over bonnet height, quick snatch to 4 and made it out luckily.....no matter how much bush work you do, can still make dumb ass mistakes:D

So, are you of the opinion it does conform to the ADRs? Are you of the opinion it does conform to the standard?

If you are, I would really like to know where I have got it wrong.

Awesome vehicle,for remote area travel,in my opinion,nothing beats them.

Now off to hide behind a rock:o

Can't wait for the day when i have more time for chasing ferals.....:)

They are a big compromise! My brother had the theory right

1980's vehicle for 2018 prices:D

But, about the closest thing you will get to a dual cab that will head bush well aside from a 130" and the cabs on these are comfortable, 130"s are not, for myself atlest

I was looking at Iveco's for a while, just a bit on the high side for what I do

Wouldn't Brisbane be full of ferals this week. They should be hanging off wire fences all around the G20 conference.

Whilst that might be the way on paper, we have the same issue at work we had the V8 cruiser utes and then went to the ford rangers which have 20nm more than the cruisers but its hard to explain the cruisers appear to have more torque really low down grunt when it comes to pull massive shovel cables and so forth.

That'll be off idle torque rather than peak torque.
Off idle torque is basically engine displacement unless you've got a really active small turbo and aggressive antistall.

As far as I can tell, from some experience, the Toyota V8 diesel in the 70 series cruisers is tuned very conservatively and it only takes $$$$ to stir them up, and realise their true potential.

I also understand the Ford 2.7 TDV6 can also be tuned, but as with all tuning of similar technology diesels, you reach a point when displacement takes some beating.
