Hey Guys,
Long time reader and follower. Though id share my cars im working on and trips im doing if anyone is interested!
I have a 2015 VDJ79 Dual cab that is my work car, overlanding car and also used for a bit if play Offroad (but this will change)
Standard specs are
GXL model
4.5lt v8 turbo diesel
Manual
solid axle front and rear
coils front and leafs sprung rear
front and rear factory lockers
Additions that have been done
ARB winch bar
Smittybilt winch
Redarc 1240 battery management system
Lightforce HID spot lights
GME uhf
Rhino rack
Steel tray and canvas canopy
2" EFS HD suspension lift with GVM upgrade
35" MTZ tyres on steel rims
oil catch can
additional fuel filter
upgraded clutch
3" exhaust
Retuned ECU now 201HP (150kw) and 600nm at the wheels. tune is done for additional power and reliability.
Safari ARMAX snorkel
Lots of other little things and much more to do.
This is a work car as I am a builder but is getting used less for work so I will be kitting it out more for long distance solo touring. We have a few good trips coming up and will need to start preparing the vehicle for it.
will be adding a long range tank, getting and new lighter aluminium Norweld tray and a custom canopy as well as solar, additional battery power, water tanks ect. Possibility of fitting Marks4wd Portal axles also but this would be after the big trip.
I live in Melbourne, Australia and am not far from the Victorian High country and go there regularly, but am heading to Central Australia and the Simpson Desert for 3 weeks in July.
Other car is a clean original 1996 FZJ80. Got it cheap of a family friend who bought it new, if actually had it for 4 years now and done 60,000kms in it without a single issue despite it being 400,000kms old! Anyway, I plan on making it a weekender for the much much harder tracks as im not too worried about damaging it as much as the 79. Plan is LS conversion, lockers, super flex lift and 105 series 5 stud conversion so I can share wheels and tyres with the 79!
