Thought you might be near

So are travelling up to Brisbane anytime soon


I love the lwb suzuki's, I had one in the uk and covered 250,000 miles in it. It would go anywhere the land rovers would go, the club would often send me off to get stuck somewhere, just so they could rescue me with their land rovers and winches

How heavy is it? Might be able to pass there with a trailer. Under 1400kg and I can put it on the tandem, legally.
I'm supposed to be collecting a 2A from Warnambool at some stage.

Don't plan to go to Brisbane anytime soon. Would make an interesting road trip with the Perentie though.

Been bush with a Suzuki club. Kitted up right, they are great off road vehicles.

As a project they are very easy to work on, not too much on them other than that required to make them go (especially the 2 stroke ones). I built mine over a few years and your skills develop as needs arise. Before I started this I had no idea I would be able to fab virtually an entire boby, build custom diff housings, main roads approved cage and bullbar... just shows what you can do if you try. As a registered gully wheeling machine it's pretty hard to beat, achilles heel is long steep hills with steps (and distance work), I have a 130 for that though.
I actually reversed it out of the gully here.

Slightly off topic but here's a couple of pics of mine at a "land rover event"

I fitted a 2 litre fuel injected motor and gearbox from a Vauxhall into it, it certainly drove well and would reach 100 mph if you were brave
