Thread: Army vehicle disposal

No Blueslips on (NSW) trailers this month.

Interesting.

Is anyone looking to sell a roll cage out of one of these ex army defenders?

Thanks Gaz!

Will the standard perentie roll bars fit in a survey hardtop perentie or not a chance?

Seeing as they fit on the top of the side panels I'll run with not a chance.

Just been round to the yard to look at trailers ...Yep, just as I suspected... thirty something landys lined at the "departure lounge" ready to be trucked south to get the silly money that we don't pay up here.
Maybe that is what is happening to the WA ones as well.
Even a couple of highly prized twin cab 6x6 heading south for the winter , so be on the look out for them

a couple of rolling "wrecks" are parked off to the side , but word is that even they are destined south--- maybe we will get some rubbish when everything else is gone. Drats......!

Well mate, what can I say. NT has had its chance to show AFM the colour of its money. The cars go where the money is! ;-)
AFM gets first dibs on parts vehicles as well. A complete operational vehicle is more valuable than 2 wrecks.
You will probably see more sales up your way when the supply chain fills out down south and there will be plenty to go around.
