But seriously, was yours a Blue slip vehicle?
Came with the blue slip, No regrets with the purchase
Nothing like setting out on some new trails getting filthy and the cab dusted thoroughly
I lost count of the number of FREDs I "salvaged" for mates, friends of the family, distant relatives, etc on camps :angel:Quote:

The military bottle jack is superb. A piece of paper with 'Don't get under a vehicle without a jack stand' or similar should be sufficient - or let Darwinism take its course.
It's such a shame we let morons set the pace when it comes to enjoying ourselves...
Bring on the next auction round!

In case its of interest to you i was working for an engineering company in Sydney 20 years ago when we were asked to tender for a contract building the chassis for these 6x6 110's .Quote:

All i recall from the spec was the chassis were all to be galvanised after fabrication and had an intricate QA qualification.
I am still browsing here looking for that buyers guide ( spent about 20 hours reading so far ) , i have interest in the moggies too if someone can point me to any service records / defect guides for what is coming up for sale.
Its going to be a long journey , there is 2268 or so of those still to be sold as the new MANN's are delivered.
If the very recent tech inspects look dodgy then i suspect it may be that ;Quote:

the vehicle is then defected for being irrepairable and they get shortlisted for upgrades.
the above is only my suspicion and i could be completely wrong
if its a sensitive topic feel free to have a moderator delete the content and PM me about it
dodgy because the TI's show the vehicle to be in much better condition than it probably is and it had 2 TI's in very rapid succession.
decoding his GM120 is still on the list but Im time poor ATM.
Does the military have any dual cab perenties? Does any one know?
Not 4x4.Quote:

6x6 - see below - looks like there are some dual cabs
There are photos floating around of a couple of dual cab sixbies, see Juddy's post on REMLR
different 6x6 models
