the blue surf that cut down.

what you guys think?

Can't wait to see it in action, just about bought it myself, but didn't like the thought of the safari being left in the carpark while the lux was out playing

well im sure you can have a drive/ride...considering you went and looked at that other p.o.s

badass looking forward to seeing it in action

Looks real sharp Kaney .

hell yea, i think i gota learn how to drive it first. but im keen

I had a serious thought about that truck too. My issue was going to be getting it back.

Looks and sounds like it is a good truck, the fiddle brakes would make it interesting. Hope you have fun. Is it going to be an aframe or trailer queen? What are you planning to tow it with? Did you get the trailer with it?

Have to see it used in anger down here. Not sure about the air intake running through the cab may be a bit noisy.

Na didnt get the trailer with it, planning on A framing it, looking at a 3.5 v6 pajero to tow it in the short term/ or bludge a tow off others heading out , but will look into getting road legal eventually. All will tell itself when it gets here

i was looking at that too but didnt really like the how the back was done.

but all in all a very good truck by the looks of things,

Well Done On Your Good Buy

Good score, I wanted it too.
Seems to have been popular.

How do you anticipate getting it road worthy?

well to be honest i dont think that would be possible, but either way it willl still be fun.

Nice barwork on it - and so pretty in Otago colours - makes me want to run out to the shed and paint all the Project WTF suspension bright yellow

Should be a weapon - I bet you can't wait to get in it...

Steve

mint! nothing like new acquisitions.......

whens the first 'kaning' session?

like the look of the rig, got some fun times ahead..!

guess you'll be wantin to bludge a tow off me wen you take her out remember i got shot gun and throw ya mrs in ma truck wit ma mrs

You may have trouble getting a cert with fiddle brakes, but apart from that I don't think there would be too much needing done depending on lights speedo etc working.

Oh and when you get it down here you are going to have to paint that suspension red, Rok started that trend for the SI Yellow is definatley a NI thing

maybe on a selwyn trip but im hopingto take her up worsleys when she arrives ... to see if she lives up to her reputation for outclimbing a 100k jeep

Where are you borrowing a 100K jeep from?

Now you posted this Archibalds will be on the lookout for someone asking for one of their new Jeep's.

Tell me when you are going up I would like to see how well it goes I have heard good things about that truck and I also want to have a look at that rear link setup, it is a bit different a sort of Hybrid 4 link setup almost a 3 link A arm design.

Could not see the detail in the photo's well enough
