| Nice looking vehicle.
What is the purpose of the four cylinders located on the bumper on the passenger side?

I'll bet it's for holding rods during surf fishing.
Tell us how you like the rust prevention. Sounds pretty neat, and i'm sure could come in handy to the folks living in the northeast US with tons of salt on the roads.

| Aussie cruiser- very nice rig! Looks great for its age! Can you tell me about the rear "tyre" carrier? Is that stock or aftermarket? Can you post some pics?

| The CB mount is a made by Marks 4wd Adaptors it is metal and fibreglass covered in velour www.marks4wd.com
The tyres were kept at standard size mainly due to the fact that 265 was the biggest that could be legally fitted to the 7" rims
The tubes are rod holders although rocket launchers would be handy for peak hour traffic
The ERPS is something you can't see working you just hope it is doing what they say it does. I had it fitted to a 60 series first that had a rust problem and after the rust was fixed I only had rust come back in the areas where rust had all ready been. No new rust.
The deisel is great for mileage I get 600 km from the main tank easily biggest problem is the price of deisel it is usually about 15 to 20 cents per litre dearer that petrol
The tyre carrier is a Kaymar fitted to the original bumper. Alaska cruiser I will post pics later when the rain stops

| Thats cool.. I can't see yours but at the marks4wd site that upper console has a factory sub fuel tank guage up there. Does your have that or is it just a compass and altimeter?
Also, would that console work for 80's with a sunroof?

I think that the 88mm anti-aircraft main gun may have something to do with it. The overall apearance is also imposing. At 56 tonnes it was very heavy and quite slow, limited to about 25mph or so. Good for us they had a crappy powerplant that broke down on a regular basis and they couldn't make enough of them.

| nice rig with some novel to me features. a few questions if you have time...
do you have any closer shots of the roofrack? it looks simple and solid.
I am familiar with electric corrosion suppression systems for underground fuel storage tanks but I thought their fatal weakness was that any uncoated metal hooked up to the system became sacrificial? is it on all the time or only when the vehicle is running?
it looks like the glinds shower uses a heat exchanger but where do you store the h20?
i believe you need the factory altimeter option to use the marks cb extension. I also believe it works fine with a sunroof.

It would have been nice to fit a full length console that goes back as far as the interior light but too many dollars for one of them Quote: |

| Water is stored in a 60litre tank under the camper trailer that usually gets towed on trips but I have plans to fit a tank under the back of the cruiser where the spare was. For that reason I had 15mm spacers fitted when the lift was done to accomadate the extra weight when the tank goes in.
