What a weapon. What's with the fore and aft back doors? Seems a bit odd. Was it full of rust?

not sure, it's a black and white pic... a lighter colour though, white or tan or something. Seen a couple come up on carsales and ebay over the past year, one was a half finished reno, which looked pretty good. The others were full of rust from what I could tell.

there's been one for sale in just 4x4's for the past coupla months. 25 Gorillas and she's yours. :ylsmoke:

Yeah, I really only took a few pics in one tiny area of the show. Sure John will take a heap. Got a bit overwhelmed by it all really :drool:. Been going to the camping show for years, and this one is the biggest. Brisbane and surrounds is the main production hub in Australia for outdoor...

oh geez, tell him no worries at all, i felt real bad for taking off without saying thanks! Had a call from the missus to meet her back at the front gate as our 3 yr old boy was chucking the mother of all wobblies, she'd had enough and where was I etc etc. There were people coming at Chris...

The MAN was massive, didn't really have too good a look at it to be honest as I was chatting to one of the guys there (Chris?) about Canters. But I was staring at the wheels and suspension and it was a little bit mesmerising. Did I notice the platform? I stood on it! Was very good, had...

action boat mmmm in ter cool er last but not least a couple of rigs from some mob up at yandina :D my fave of the show, there I was dreamin' about owning one one day and a young couple were ordering one on the spot, recession? what recession :Wow1: Awesome stuff!

Went and had a look this morning, the camping show truly is heaven on earth :drool:. Only problem is half the population of QLD seemed to be there and this is on a Thursday, the weekend is gonna be insane... This is the carpark at 10:30am, the show is over yonder behind those buildings on the...

just got back from the camping show in Bris, was chasing the same sort of info as you, here are some numbers I got: SRW - $6k - for 6 wheels (custom made wheels) Full Suspension package: (EDIT: Full custom job - lengthened leaf springs 100mm extended each end, dual koni shocks, crossmembers...

:( No worries John, it's the only day I've got off during the show so that's a bit of a bugger, anyway will check it out tomorrow and report back on here, cheers :sombrero:

People here either LOVE them or HATE them, and the debate rages on in internet forums evermore. I love them and have been looking for one for a while now, but they only ever made about 400 all up and half of those were trashed by mining and tour companies. They are getting pretty hard to...

I'm going tomorrow (thursday) can't wait to see the ATW stand :drool:, hope you're there John! Will take some pics of the show too.

Can't wait to see your stuff at the camping show. Was hoping you'd be at the truck show :ylsmoke:

no worries, I'll PM him and keep an eye out for them coming up too. :bike_rider: I found this payload calculator thingo on the web this morning. Has all the weights of every truck model (all FG 4x4's etc), can work out the GVM of your truck and the payload leftover. Is pretty nifty. Looks...

yeah, I've been looking everywhere, truckhub, tradingpost, papers, auctions, there are a few about. Went out to cousins today actually and had a look at that $36k one along with 2 others that were in the high $40's. I was just :drool:. Will be trawling the govt auctions for one I reckon...

Thanks for all your help, been going through all the old threads over the last couple of days on here. Learning a lot of great stuff. Love the interview with the fraser tours bloke, very interesting. Found out the reduced GVM also means cheaper rego too, so it's all good! I'm probably...

Oh is that all it is eh? Too easy. And the license thing is a real bonus too. How does it affect the load carrying capacity? 1505kg's less??? I'm not planning on carrying too much weight anyway, just camping gear and kids etc. Thanks for replying, I was hoping you would. Love the stuff you...

Hi all, just found this site the other day and it's fantastic. Am on the hunt for a crew cab FG at the moment. I've been searching and searching the net to find any info on what is involved in derating the GVM of an FG from 6000 to 4495kg's, can't find anything about it. They list it as an...
