IIRC the cab on a 6X6 is 6" wider and is actually a ROP design.
As for the stick being a long way away, aren't the driver and passenger seating positions located further inboard giving more shoulder room and making the distance to the gearstick relatively the same. If it isn't there is nothing to stop one bending it a little and adding an extension, it's what we used to do with the stubby 80" gearsticks.
I'm not sure the are any more inboard.....as there is a third full size seat in the middleQuote:

You might have a Senior Commander available soon!
or maybe the seat fittings didn't go as far out as the body went out. I just seem to remember that there was more shoulder room in the 6x6 but I only ever sat in the one on display at a show. The LHD SAS/LRPV demonstrator.Quote:

the senior commander in SA looks pretty sweet, I wonder how much it will go for.
also a few wrecks this time around in NSW which will also be interesting to watch.
even the trailers in NSW look mint
:( I wish I was in the position to buy something.
Hope there is still plenty to choose from when I finally get the chance in 18 or so months time.
What have i done i did place a bid on a 4x4 in vic:angel: , I have a suspicion Mick from the marsh has also bid on one;)Quote:

Apparently Grays rejected a whole consignment and sent them back to Sydney (?) because they were unhappy with the standard of what was delivered to them. They called the loaders back the next day, and sent all of them back!!
Anyway - I'd be going for one of the 2 hard tops (if I wanted a hard top). They are currently sitting at $8K and $10K.
That's my quick summary review ;)
Looking at the Vic offering, there is really only one I would go for - if I wanted one ( I was checking them out for a mate). Most are run of the mill, none refurbished.
I told my mate to bid up on the second choice as he only wants a farm hack. I'd reckon the money will go to the reasonable one. At least they all have good to fairly good tyres & batteries. One is hail damaged and another a frontal smack & distorted bonnet & neither shows on the photo's.
Hi, thanks for the advice, do you know which one is which?Quote:
