I have replaced the army roof rack with an electric hard top double roof tent and installed a heavy duty tow bar. I have installed a 60 litre water tank in the back with side tap and electric pump and covered this with a raised floor and storage area. Storage bags are installed on either side of the inner walls near the top in the rear. I have installed a 2000 watt (not kva) inverter in the back with a raised 1000 watt microwave. Heating meals from the fridge freezer is not a problem. I believe the FFR models did not get the same heavy use as the cargo GS models and the extra battery power is fabulous if you use it properly. Using a MiG welder is also possible. The canvas roof keeps the car a lot cooler than a normal car.
However, it is a 2 door, no air conditioning and no power steering. It is loud to drive and has plenty of rattles. I live in the country and it is ideal. It is not good for city driving as it has a lousy turning circle and is not good for dragging off cars at the lights.
I absolutely love it and it is my daily driver. Park it amongst a group of modern 4x4 vehicles and people will gravitate to it first. The 4 door hardtop version Perentie is your best equivalent but you pay twice as much. A new gearbox will set you back up to $4000
Go for the Isuzu motor. cheers
Got to agree with tc_s1, that is one of the best looking builds I have seen. I've been looking for a while for a good condition Isuzu County or a Perentie Senior Commander, but thinking that the soft top would be nice with the dogs. The photos of yours made my jaw drop - perfect. If you build another one and ever want to sell, call me first!Quote:

The chassis rear is very unique, Perentie rear cross member on a standard Isuzu/110 chassis. It looks factory so may have been part of the Bushranger R&D.
Understood. I was just trying to get to the front of the queue for when he decides to sell the next one - the one that says he is currently proposing to build.Quote:
