255/100R16 XZL are now on Michelin Australia website, last time I did this search they were not,

Michelin Australia - Tyre Selector - transport.michelin.com.au

personally I'd be going the 3rd party option, 17x9” On-Road/Off-Road Rims and tubeless Hankook 37x12.5R17 LT Dynapro MT Tyres

I guess you can tell I'm keen on one of these.

a bit more research reveals the Iveco Daily 4x4 is a SCAM Light Tactical Truck, made by SCAM (pity about the name - in both cases) SCAM SpA - Light Tactical Vehicles - SCAM Spa , with a Iveco Daily cab on it.

to get a better idea of the height compared to a Defender, The Top of the ARB bullbar is the same height as the top of the Black plastic bumper on the Daily 4x4, but still a respectable 40 deg rollover angle

yet to find a diagram to make sense of why it needs twin Turbos

Yup - I am too, but it's going to take a lottery win for me to get what I'd like: IVECO 4x4 Doka Custom Campers




BTW - since I last looked at the site, they've added some pics of a crash. Looks like the truck had an incident on a straight section of road whilst involved in some sort of rally. Support vehicle perhaps, too fast + tyre blowout? Who knows but looks nasty. Camper looks OK but cab is somewhat more aerodynamic



EDIT: Found some more info about this conversion: Expedition vehicle based on the new model Iveco Daily 4x4 - polish site, use google translate

My oldest brother is an off-site mechanic for a drilling mob, just got 4x4 Daily a few months ago supplied by the company. It has to be close to a meter taller than the D3.
Still loving it, with no issues, carry's decent loads and will tow up to and over 5 ton when needed without complaint, and is great in the slippery stuff.

If you want to see a lethal off-road truck, do some searching on the Unimog U-500 Black Edition, hilariously huge!

Curiously, most of the video is filmed northwest of Auckland.

Looks like compound turbo's.

If so, a better way to do it than a VNT

That would explain this then.



400Nm from 1200 thru 3000 is pretty impressive

When you see one in the flesh, you'll be surprised at how big they are, like waaay bigger than a 130.

They are a great idea, so I hope they get the early bugs sorted out, as it's a good alternative to a land rover. But ATM there's still too many stories of people who had horror runs with them.....
