I tried, but he just wont part with the orange beast

The zuk from this thread could be a good start. Get the price donw a bit and you have enough to get twin air lockers and change. ( Oh yeah and re fit a rear seat)

Robs got a V8 70 for sale (body needs a bit of rust work) as well as a tidy black safari, or what about Taz01's cheap beam axle surf?

[Robo]

I've sold the Safari and looking at putting 35"pitbulls on the Cruiser before selling it, but I tell ya what..I reckon Mal would look pretty damn sharp in that little green Zuk

Is it as simple as just shocks and springs for 3 inches? And no body lift needed?

I wasn't even allowed to put tow hooks on it; for those "just in case" times

Still i guess I already have one lifted with simex's to satisfy that urge

PM me if/when you are interested.

Jase.

AWESOME!!! Do you need longer brake lines? caster adjustment thingies?

[swampa]

looks like you are getting more confused by the day.

A little, but there are a few options in my head I like. I like landcruisers, safaris, patrols etc. But if a tuff truck with front rear lockers and 35s came up I could also be swayed. I have had pajeros, a surf, a turbo safari and a vx landcruiser. Im open to options and when one catches my eye i will part with the cash.

The reason i ask questions is because i want to do it right this time.

Thats a cool truck, but I think its overpriced. Ive seen a few swb safaris with arb front and rear, spares and onboard air etc for around the 13k mark. To me thats a 10k car. I might be wrong but if i was paying 15 id expect a few more extras. And possibly lower ks

trade me idiots at it again

if everyone sat back and watched it, then it wouldnt increase till the last minute and you may end up getting a bargain, but at this rate someone will take it over 12k well before the last day
