Builds Australian 80 Build (1 Viewer)

[Australian80]

Greetings, from the other side of side of the world.

Just thought i would start a build thread on my 94 cruiser.
Bought it completely bone stock from a gentleman living about a street away from me for $9400 back at the end of '12. It was a company car so the paint on in was immaculate. I've done a few things to it since then including

-Powerful4x4 Premium Bullbar
-Powerful4x4 Scrub Bars
-Powerful4x4 Sliders
-2 x Lightforce 240blitz'
-Tigerz11 full length steel roofrack
-Tigerz11 42inch LED light bar
-OME 2inch lift kit with heavys all around.
-285/75/16 Cooper STT all around
-16x8 black sunraiser rims 0offset
-GME TX3500 UHF radio
-Powerful4x4 Dual swingout rear bar
-Piranha DBE180s dual battery system
-2 x MRV70L all purpose batteries
-Powerful4x4 snorkel

Plenty of things to be added.
Next on the list is a 12 way baintech fuseblock.
Hopefully these pictures show up.

Fixing wouldn't be the word. Improving. I've read most of your thread already. Good luck with the build!

Congrats!

Cheers, I will get more pics up soon.

is that a turtle on your cattle guard?

Yes it is. Its nickname is Turtle because i drive it not much fast than a turtle.

Just a few interior pics.

Good stuff. We don't get to see enough builds of hard-working LandCruisers outside of North America. Looking forward to more pics.

My question is: What's the "P" stand for?

Cheers. The green P up front stands for 'Provisional' driver. In Australia it goes

-Learners (need a full license driver with you)
-Red P's (can drive by yourself but a few restrictions)
-Green P's (less restrictions)
-Then your full license.

G'day mate, good to see more Aussies on here.

Now that's a nice looking rig. Have you had any dramas with the auto box, my last 80 was the 4.5 litre petrol and the only problem I had was the auto stuffed, got stuck in limp mode and it was easier to replace.

Keep the pics and improvements coming

Interesting. They oughta do that here...maybe even add a few more, like "OF" for Old Fart, which I'm just about to qualify for.

Here's to a full license soon, now that you have a truck that will let you go anywhere, do anything.

G'day Spudman. No problems with the auto as of yet, about 320k on it. Slight thud dropping from 3-2 on occasion but nothing to be worried about. Everything else shifts smoothly. I agree in just replacing it instead or stuffing about.

Will keep the improvements coming as cash flows in.

Nice rig mate.

Best insurance for the auto is treat it to a fresh belly or oil every 20,000km and it will love you long time. I assume you did a full oils, filter and coolant baseline when you got it anyway.

Keep up the good work.

That's good mate, the good thing about when my auto went (if you can call it a good thing) is that my rear main seal was weaping so I got to fix that at the same time
