Juddy is still active on facebook, but if there is anything a local can help with, let me know.

No track rod fitted! Now has a lump of timber and a couple of long HT bolts so I could shunt it down my driveway without taking out the workshop

I parked my fleet outside a few weeks ago: I had to clear the backyard to make space for number four: I bought a wreck!:victory: In time, it will be built up as a family tourer, the '85 110 is the dail drive/tuff tripp truck whilst the 1988 Perentie FFR will be moved on :wavey:

Reason nmber 6 is enough on it's own! Thanks for your reply. I'm thinking about my future tourer build, once I sell my County and FFR Perentie, so reading your thread with interest.

Hi Carts, if you don't mind me asking, what is the reasoning for building another roll cage over the cab, when the cab is already a rated roll over protection system? -Mark from NSW...

My IIa had been off the road in dry storage for nigh on two years, after a few hours of attention we hit the tracks earlier this month for a weekend away. VV- Age before beauty! -VV The 350 miles worth of smiles say it all

AUS$8500 is a bit on the low side for a maximum price, try AUS$18000 and higher. Six by sixes are pricier generally than the four by fours, and specialist variants are more coin than plain janes. Here's mine:

Sure do! Admittedly my RTT weighs around less than 20kg (40lb I think), so pretty light. Never felt a problem with stability either. I do predominately rock driving, so plenty of lurching side to side and off-camber. 2" lift, 255/85R16 tyres. Wider offset rims give a slightly wider track...

I am surprised to see Terrafirma branding in the place usually reserved for Koni or similar by those chasing ultimate reliability. Though shock absorber brands, like polybushes, are another can of worms...

I have a competing brand's version, the Oztrail 'Easy Fold Stretcher Tent'. I got dressed/undressed at the car and wore these things on my feet: (thongs to Aussies, dunno what they are called overseas) and just tucked them under the end. Very comfortable, but you definately have to peg the guy...

Not sure about a leaf springer, but above the tailshaft on a 110 there is a fair amount of space that an auxilliary fuel tank could fit in, a friend has a 60litre tank mounted there on his 1986 110. On an 88" Series 2a there is some space above the rear diff between the chassis rails too. Not...

...or get yourself an 88/89 Perentie, cheap enough and old enough to take with you and sell it upon your return for considerable margin. You'll also have an example of the best damn Land Rover ever built, so you'll probably want to keep it forever...

The truck motor is common in the USA as well as reasonably common in Australia. Obviously Japan would have once had many but they seem to replace vehicles faster than any other nation! The motor can come from a Land Rover or truck, the variant in the Perentie is an industrial rather than...

My 110 County is sometimes known as the "Zombie Stompin' Thunder Truck", or in times of temper the 'O' from County is dropped. My 2a is Dirty Mary, named after a steam locomotive that had a habit of spraying oil over everything and everyone nearby, thankfully that phase is past-though sometimes...

Make a mock-up from cardboard and paper or foil, you'll probably find you either tear the material or it'll be really loose and baggy around the lower hinge for the riser.

Hi Norm, You may want to post the same query on AULRO.com as that is where a lot of local knowledge of Series Landies can be found. Rijidij Offroad does a twin swing away carrier for spares on Defenders, it'll likely work just fine on a Series too. I have his single spare wheel carrier on my...

Body type? Wagon versus styleside ute versus traytop ute versus hardtop will have some bearing on it too. Still have the scone cutters on the back of your 109? If so, use them for jerry cans, spare on back door or in tub and one on bonnet, then water inside the vehicle. Do you have a second...

or carry one spare assembled on rim, and just a second carcass, which is a lot lighter weight so less of a problem on a roof rack, or can be strapped to the main spare if it is on the back door. Personally, I prefer to carry my spare on the bonnet of my Series and a second would go against the...

No, same old 2 pin front diff with no extra reinforcing or bracing over standard Defender or earlier 110 front diffs. The only 4x4 variants with HD front end were those intended for surveillance roles and gunships. My civilian One Ten and Perentie, both Isuzu powered, had identical front axle...

In Australia, the Isuzu 4BD1, and the turbocharged equivalent more-so, is spoken of in revered tones by Landy enthusiasts. A robust 3.9 litre 4 cylinder designed for a light truck, will push around a relatively light weight One Ten reliably 'forever' with very little engine maintenance. The...
