Someone at AFM must have a BIG grin permanently etched on their face :D

Excuse my ignorance.....

Are those other vehicles for sale?
Thanks,

Wheels are the Terrafirma alloys, tyres are BFG Mud Terrain KM2s in 255/85r16 by the looks.

Minto is a suburb of SW Sydney; it is where Australian Frontline Machinery (AFM) - the company formed to dispose of the ADF's current flock of vehicles - has its HQ. The other vehicles in the photos are for sale; most of the folks in this corner of the forum already own one (at least).

This website will fill you in:

https://www.australianfrontlinemachinery.com.au

If you are interested in getting one, I highly recommend you pick up a buyer's guide from here too:

Jeez, Ellard, you almost sound like a spammer! :D

Anyone know if it lives at Minto? Or just there on inspection days?

Picking up a trailer tomorrow. Would love to have a look at it. Particularly the rear seat setup.

Hmm. I did read somewhere that No. 5 trailers float, due to watertight tubs.

Not sure if prevailing wind & current would send it your way if I dropped it in the Pacific.

Speaking of trailer logistics, as the cheapest ones are ex Darwin, would one be able to daisy chain a few together behind a Perentie and tow them home from NT, given a suitable MC truck license? :twisted:

Result of today's enquiries @ Minto:

1. Yes, it's here.
2. No, you may not enter showroom outside of inspection days to look at it.
3. All work was performed by KLR. They will be able to assist with your enquiries re specific mods.
4. We will post some more photos of it on teh internets soon.
5. Your trailer is outside. Please leave now. :)

Nice blokes. They were most polite in their refusal of my request. Clearly access to warehouse is heavily restricted. I wonder what they do in there between auctions. :eek:

G'Day DBT.
The whole shed is their workshop.
For Auctions, they push everything out except the sale vehicles and clear the space.

what's making it capable over and above any other 110? i.e. does it have lockers
