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

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.

Not to mention the guy who's just parted with nearly $2700 for a #5 trailer at the most recent auction in Sydney.

Well, just done the contract and paid for a GS on the weekend. Now to wait for it to be delivered.

Congrats Mate.
Welcome to the Perentie club!

You could do worse than join REMLR.com. Register of Ex Military Land Rovers.
We are a friendly bunch as well and there is a large amount of info about the Perenties.
REMLR.com is just like AULRO for ex-mil stuff.

Thanks Dave. Yeah joined up on REMLR as well. Best thing is the better half was the one who suggested we get a dedicated off-road/hunting wagon. When this 110 came up I couldn't pass on the opportunity.
It's just going to be a bit strange driving one as a civvie this time around.

I'll be looking at getting a GS and setting it up as a solo play/camping/tough touring/off-road explorer. Might even drive it to work occasionally just for cool value

Will start with decent tyres, dual battery, spotties, sound deadening and maybe a stereo (depending on how much success I have with the sound deadening)

Longer term:
- power steering;
- will see how the suspension holds up, but probably new shocks, maybe 2" lift;
- some rock sliders and maybe new bull-bar (depending on what comes on the one I find);
- Diff locks will find their way underneath eventually and probably a turbo strapped to the engine;
- would be good to get the spare out from underneath but might not be worth the effort?

Cheers, and good luck getting one.
Bodge.

I use my FFR with the Army Cadets so its back at its original job but with 77 sets fitted.

what does the term, 77 for seats mean ?

PRC77 radio sets normally used in Series3 FFR's but he's put them in his Perenite
