    Finally got one!!

    G'day gents and Ladies. After five years of searching the country for a low k decent priced Perentie I finally got one. 72000k, $13500 FFR. Now here's the odd bit, I live in a little town in Tassy called Wilmot, half way between Devonport and Cradle Mountain. Middle of nowhere and on the way to somewhere else. Well imagine my surprise when I jump on gumtree and this thing turns up 20km away, unbelievable!
    Now here's where I get some loins stirring and have the rest sitting up like a pack of Mearcats.The other one he had there, another FFR has spent it's entire life in Tassy, with of course a reserve unit. I can hear you salivating so here it is. 5000km, it looks like it just rolled off the production line. The galvanising on the chassis is still shiny and the doors close like they are on a Range Rover. $19000 not negotiable, oh he has put a full set of brand new tyres on it but it is unregistered. I came within half a thou of buying it myself, finances were a bit tight. If you are interested give me a yell, I have his number. If I win lotto tonight, forget it, I'll be up there tomorrow to get it.
    Hows that for an intro?
    Cheers.

    Minor Update

    Hi All,

    I haven't updated this thread in a long time... A minor update on the FFR - I got sick of flat tyres on the beast, so I went tubeless....

    * Wolf Rimms
    * Falken AT3W 235/85R16

    I have kept the original wheels & tyres, for when I eventually sell the vehicle (who knows when that will be, probably in 10+ years)

    Great truck! Glad to see you have new tyres on it.
    I noted somewhere in this thread you or someone mentioned they werent sure of the tyre age?
    If people look on the side of the tyre close to the wheel and find 4 digits that look set in to the tyre slightly, this is the week (first 2 digits) and year (last 2 digits) tyre was manufactured.
    Your spare I noted was 2008.

    While tyres on a Perentie may well look "new" just like with mine and plenty others I see, the tyres are often 10 to 15 years old. Making them a danger to you and other road users.
    Regards
    Daz

    Great looking Perentie Tom, I finally have one now also after years of procrastinating, an 1990 FFR, will be arriving at Pickles Hobart on the 6th of October, can't wait.

    Your thread has given me a great guide to clean her up and have already got some parts ready for it's arrival, ignition, door locks, apparently needed for rego here in Tassie.
    Cheers Baz.
