bloody hell, 200mm is a lot.
Do you reckon the RTA would notice my front end was 8" wider if I scored one ? :lol2: It'd fix my dire turning circle.....:D

Most of these were taken in the mid 80's when we were testing for new vehicles we also looked at the To**ta Bungarra for those that can remember it.

Should be on its way to Kalgoorlie on Wednesday ready for Goldfields tripping.
All the 6x6's are wider than it 4x4 brother, it has the same weight measurements for local RTA rules so with the pod (with no internals fitted) on the back, 1/2 tank of fuel in 1 tank, driver, and pack gave the weight 40kgs under legal limit. It got the Turbo 4BD1 eng, power steering, but everything else is the same. They lacked power and died on hills they playied withe the exhaust (3' pipe from the manifold) to get them "going" abit. The front diff was surpose to have a neg 1 deg camber to reduse the king pin bushes ect wearing premature, they didn't, so they look from the front like a V8 Supercar. So this civy L/R would be well over legal limit. The 4x4 versions had the rear cut to allow for spare under body they had to remove the rear sway bar so the handling was compramised and they suffered alot of roll overs in the early years.

HOW TO BUILD A 6X6
ITS EASY
The civilian 6x6 was the same width as other 110s, it was not widened like the Perentie 6x6. It would have been hard to remove the rear sway bar on the 110 - it was never fitted to the majority of 110s, but was always an option except on County specification wagons. I suspect the rollovers may have had more to do with the increased performance (and better ride) compared to the Series 3.Quote:

PS saw a convoy of trucks and trailers yesterday, the unusaul thing I noted was that a trailer had a ARN and it was on a white background with black numerals reminicent of Sth Oz plates from the 50/60's?? anyone enlighten me with this change of style to the ARN.
Certainly did. The 110's put out 66 kW and 245 Nm for a total mass of 2300 kg. The 6x6's put out 90 kW and 314 Nm for a total unladen mass of 4650 kg ... :eek::eek:Quote:

a rear OE anti-roll bar was impossible to fit on the Perentie 110, but around '96-97 LRA was contracted by the ADF into developing one for them due to the increasing number of roll overs. How an anti-roll bar was going to decrease roll overs is beyond me, but that was the ADF's answer.Quote:

Don't know if it was ever fitted to any ADF vehicles.
