Hi All:

Cool rig!

Bruce, in the photo of the engine compartment it looks like a 1HZ to me. Does the 1HD-T have a similar appearance?

Thanks!

Yeah, they do look quite similar. The big giveaway is the crossover tube over the valve cover. It turns down on the airbox side of the engine where they both connect to a CT26. That and the word "turbo" in red cast into that same tube.

Now why is it that the Ozzy's and the South African's get all the good stuff? Makes me kinda pissed off.

Who needs air bags? The Fed is trying to turn us into Bubble Boy, or something. You would think that they would know by now that they can't legislate common sense. And saving the morons is destroying the darwinism thing, keeping them around.

I guess we can hope that if you make something idiot proof, then the world makes a "better" idiot.

It looks like the South African conversion done by Meano ( the little triangle between the doors is the give-away) Cost about ZAR 50 000 including giving a dual layer on the loadbox sides. New 70 Pick-up with 4500 petrol cost about ZAR 300 000 to put in perspective. There is no mod to the chassis and the laodbox is smaller, but with some of these fancy Outback drawer systems a fridge, 60 l water, 80 l petrol tools and camping for 4 for 10 days no problem. Large space under the rear seat as well

Cheers

x2 Its an expensive one as you have to extend the chassis to get a square door in the rear. It could be an import from South Africa as they do theirs this way.

Interior looks like its from a 61 or 62 series

There is no mod to the chassis

Is that just for the 79 series? It wouldnt work with a 75 as they are just too short.

EDIT I see now why the aussie models have the angled off rear door. They leave a wider pillar between the doors for more leg room in the rear seat and for easier exit/egress

 

[Basie]

I believe we only one model cahssis here in the pick-up range and that would be the 79. The legroom front and back is more tha adequate for two six foot four models behind each other. The conversion with rear doors and funny windows is unfortunately not the same quality as the original with crcks at the upper end of the pillar between the doors quite common

[sandcruiser]

oh my. I *LIKE* that.

Another conversion from South Africa

 

[HEMIDOG]

I sawa few of these when I was in Namibia last year. they are very popular there but they don't get turbo diesels so they all use the 4500 petrol to give them the power in the sand dunes.
