My 2 40's originated in Aus back in 2007 (green) and 2009 (grey) now residing in ZA

The green one (Kermit) was ex Brisbane and was originally a diesel, but that B motor couldnt pull the skin off a custard, so I pulled it out and dropped in a 2F - and the Grey one is ex Sydney NSW its a 1983 LX with the 3 wipers 5spd

Looks like youve done some good work on your ute.

Been watching the news on your fire situation in fact some our local fire fighters just got back from helping on some of the fires over there. I hope the weather changes soon, keep at it and that ride of yours will be riding the roads soon.
Cheers

we have been extremely lucky to have alot of help. Watching the jets and half a dozen choppers work in a small airspace is something else.
we're lucky to receive help from around the globe. You guys might have a bit more experience dealing with fires on this scale and we probably need to follow suit and get the equipment we need to deal with this and learn how to use it in these situations.

They're two nice vehicles!!! BJ40 was the car that made me notice these beasts. Youve done really well with those two. Kermit looks great in that landscape. I like my 2F its nice and simple and makes a decent noise out the exhaust. I havent driven a B series diesel before. I had a H in my first hj45 it didnt even like the sight of a hill. The 2H is much better than that but still not great. Gets the job done chewing alot less fuel than the 2F no matter how loaded up it is. The 15BFT does peak my interest though. I think one of them with a 5 spd would be an awesome combo.
