Following my gentle roll of the previous 4WD,
I have been wheel less for the past 2 months or so..
having to beg SWAMBO to use her car to go to the range Sad

So no more!!
Found me an old Poverty pack Series 80 Landcruiser Diesel with all the extra bush kit alreadly built up:
- Wrap around winching bull bar
- Heavyduty tow bar with swing out spare wheel carrier
- Cargo bay screen
- Trays with lock (for my guns !!!)
- 2 inch lift kit
- UHF radio AND HF radio Shocked

- Dual tank

Looks like almost all I wanted is already there, A turbo conversion would be even better..
But, for the money I pay for it, this seems to be ok so bar.

So, I am Baaaaaaack!!!

Be vevy kwyet!! I am gonna hunt ta wabbits..

wow, that looks great. Nice find.

Looks pretty good Gelan...you done well mate. A turbo conversion will run you about $3K -$3.5K...but its well worth the money mate.

How many K's on it mate...it looks real clean and tidy for its age.

Cheers, Vince

I love those drawers in the back and the snorkel and the brush buster winch things.very dirt worthy rig. Tons of room inside for the doggie and a fence to keep his tongue at bay. there's a lot of add-ons you don't have to add on. Nice find!

Looks like you can ford some pretty deep water. Hope your streams fill back up with water soon.

That thing looks that big that there is probably room for 1 more.

Nice find Gelandangan.
Hope you have many happy hunting kilometres in the beast.

And the dams are full slimjim.
Vinces State last week broke a record of
'the most amount of land underwater'
it was equivalent in area to our smallest State, Victoria.

Vince

Yep...plenty of water here at the moment...and our dams are at a record high...over 96%, which is pretty good considering this time 2008 we were at about 12% and falling.

Ya know what tiks...I reckon we orta hit Gelan up fer a hunting trip mate now that he has a 4WD beastie...go out and watch his BLOOMPH first hand. Very Happy

Cheers, Vince

Yeah I think this is a nice find milage is 300K kms.

The only gripe I have of this is the fact that it is a "Poverty Pack" car, it doesnt have the single most useful (for me anyway) tool build it.
The Central Locking system.
So I would have to install it.
While on it, I would put in a 3KV Stun & Fry Alarm system as well..

Any other mods you would like to suggest? Flame thrower? Rocket launchers?

PaulS

Yes! rocket launchers - then we can hunt BIG bears!

Get rid of the computer system !!! Don't want to see ya unexpectedly accelerate and end up rolled over again in a ditch !!! Shocked

Maybe that had something to do with floor mats.......I can't remember !!!

Most important accessory?

A Land Rover.

That way you have something to drag that thing out of where it shouldn't have tried to go. Razz
