Thread: Perentie 6x6 in USA

    Thanks for all the input.

    I am learning.... I thought all the Land a Rovers build in Australia are Perenties, obviously not, only the military ones are. Do I have to change my name now ?

    My car has the LT95, 4 speed just like the military's one.

    Found somebody in Australia who is helping me a lot in going through the transmission problems. If you read this; Thanks Brian !!

    You bought that one.
    Sadly, I will not be able to see it on its "for sale" webpage and dream anymore. I thought it was well kitted out for outback travel.
    Keep us posted with your travels and adventures.

    Oh, you don't have to change your forum name. Just get a 6x6 Perentie as well.

    do you know the year of assembly?


    Your vehicle is a civilian vehicle build during the trials. I was involved with the last 12.

    It is a 1987, and according to the information I found on line, should belong to the last ones. Would ve very interested in the history and especially what the original body was.

    The civilian 6x6s were sold with either a flat tray or cab/chassis, and a variety of other bodies fitted by third parties.

    I find the bull bar rather interesting. Similar to an early Perentie.
    Is it a Landrover part?

    Both tray and bullbar are the same as the trials 6x6, so strictly speaking Land Rover parts. The image isn't from a brochure, it was from an article in the June 1985 Overlander magazine.

    but its not, its a conversion. its a 130 Dual cab modded to fit with the stock 6x6 tray shortened and custom folded plates for the intermediate mud guards. the roof is also custom,

    If I remember correctly it was done by the same mob that did the bushranger conversion kits for the disco/rangie of the same era. the concept was also pressed into service in the perentie range by the military, from memory initially for air defence units hauling a radar and its crew.
