Thread: How do you intend using your 110 or Perentie?

It is when she lets me play with it, which is every day, or she gets the BOOT!

This one- just getting it ready for the next owner. Reminiscing every time I turn the key
The next one?
Minor mods-
Tacho
Hope to get it plated as a 5 seater, then I can drive it everyday.
Will put the split rims into storage, out for the big trips.
Playing with cab/ full length hard top ideas, but will probably go with a bikini top.
Considering swapping the ffr tail for a GS tailgate, will need to add a RHS bracket.
Getting off-track as much as possible.

How's everyone's experiences of owning a 110/Perentie for a while now?

There's been enough on ebay to think that either people are trying to cash in on a private sale, or they didn't quite meet ownership expectations. There's also been a decent number of military specific parts sold off by vehicle owners. I'm hoping to get some views from those selling due to failed expectations, as well as from happy owners.


So, is living with your Landy, living up to your expectations?


What mods have you found to be critical from a user point of view? i.e. creature comforts (stereo, seats etc) and utility mods (PAS, storage boxes, cargo barrier, higher visibility/non-military paint etc)

Im having fun with it 10,000ks in around 10 months of ownership.
Haven't really done much in the way of mods other than adding a compressor

An axle let go on the beach recently, Sourced proper replacement and it was nothing like what came out.. Original CV wouldn't even fit on replacement army axle

biggest ongoing concern has been the fuel tank when i picked it up it was leaking. I pulled it all down brazed lead wiped and redkote on the inside. Fixed!

Until i slammed it on the trails again

Whenever the key gets turned it guarantees an adventure. Last weekend was a good drive with the roof off up a fun trail in the dark with the rain!!

Like you I deduce that with the number on the market, there must have been a lot purchased for short term resale. I have inspected and bid - but alas I am yet to win.... either my price expectations have to change - or the market needs to be saturated and fall! I hope the guy that paid $18k+ for the refurbished GS in Sydney last sale enjoys his machine!
Anyway - I WILL own one....It will get power steering, it will probably get some paint and some signwriting and it will become the daily work vehicle for our cattle stud.

G'Day all

I got a perentie FFR in the auction in december 2013 and i pretend to keep it as original and use it for the purpose was build mean as a radio vehicle, as a ham radio operator i do a lot of contacts around the world and i like to go out mobile , also together with our radio club we provide equipment and instructors to Scouts NSW in the annual jamboree and a ex army radio land rover fully operational will be a lot of fun for the young scouts, i will like the to have pics or info about the radios used in the perentie please anthing just send to my email

To discuss more military specific uses and fittings on your Perentie, you will find more info on the REMLR Forum. There is a section there on Radios, which features both historic original fitments, and also current users.


Registry of Ex Military Land Rovers - Index


REMLR will also be a good source of support in you maintaining the originality of your Perentie.

I'm going guns on the next auction. I'm after a GS leaving it as is, I will put a lockable battery isolator in, maybe put some draws and bed in the back and I will be able to leave all my fishing and camping gear in there so I can go and explore all the nooks of my home state at the drop of a hat. I want to set it up so it looks as is but a real user friendly weekend explorer.
