This is my daily driver and bush tractor. Having owned it since 1990, and working within the 4WD industry, this bucket is not missing out on any extras other than a rear mounted winch. . . . . . . Missus won't let me!

It has not got a four cylinder motor, has not got one transfer case and does not have one open diff ;).

....BEAST....

[Chuditch]

For hunting and bush trips I drive a 1982 fj60 petrol/LPG landcruiser with a good old 3F motor. Best 4wd toyota ever produced IMHO.

Can't think of any other motor that would drive over 2000 kms with the rear oil seal blown, then after replace seal, good as gold, still driving it today with no work apart from standard service and maintenance.

For work, various Toyota 4wd fleet cars with one of them dedicated to my work out in the Desert. None of them inspire any love in me but they have never stopped on me and never let me down.

In town we have a Skoda 2007 1.8 TSI Wagon. Bought it since recently becoming a family man and have to say that it is a lot more fun to drive than I could have hoped for. Turbo 1.8 is the latest from VW, the same motor, drivetrain etc that graces the New Golf and Audi A4 without the pricetag. Very impressed with it.

For kicks I have a 1982 Toyota Supra XX, I know I'm too old for the hoon factor but I just love this little car. Trying to iron out a fueling problem at the moment, after doing a bit of work on it... When it goes its the best thing, when it does not I enjoy getting it to go again. I have supercharged motor to go in it soon with some interesting mods to boot :cool: .

[MICK_]

Supra sounds sweet mate, ive got a little project car myself good fun havin a play in the garage every once and awhile.

[Lindsay]

Cheers Lindsay.

[Chuditch]

Supra sounds sweet mate, ive got a little project car myself good fun havin a play in the garage every once and awhile.

Yeah it's one of the first models from when the Celicas developed into Supras. Not to every ones taste I suppose but it's my 'precious'. What project car do you have in your shed Mick?

[MICK_]

Me and my dad have been building a VL 5.7Ltr twin turbo drag car. My dad used to drag race in the old days so we had the opertunity to buy the VL as abit of a family affair. Still in the earily stages roll cage in, tubbed rear end, engine being built now so yeah. Good fun mate.

[Chuditch]

That VL sounds like a lot of fun. Nice to see you and your Dad chucking the spanners around the shed together!

Tried starting the supra today and found no spark from the coil... :eek:

Looks like I may have found the cause of a few problems... hopefully.

Start the diagnostics tomorrow.

[MICK_]

Yeah good fun hanging around the old man doin abit of work and alot of drinking. Keep us posted with how the cars coming along mate.

[lurch]

i have an 88 hilux 3 in lift wrangler tyres standard 2.4ltr motor (diesel) slow but will crawl anywhere love it!
mick mate i helped a mate build a motor for his vk calais not so long ago twas a 308 but stroked it out to a chev crank now a 355 with crow cam ,demon carby, 3500 stall converter/stage 3 shift kit/ b&m pro ratchet shift/ 9 in diff with detroit locker/ and 513 horses under the hood goes like a demon scary to drive it does 1/4 mile in bout 9 seconds and we hope to build another soon we just have to work out what were gunna do next lol.

[MICK_]

[Chuditch]

Hey Nev what is your secret? My missus drives me crazy... love her though, Bless!!!

Special I'd be interested in what exactly that mod is? Is it the breakerless ignition unit available from Pertronix??? Please enlighten me. The 3F is apparently a very close japanese version of the chevy blue flame truck motor...

Nice to see someone who likes the old fj6X series :D

[special]

Hi chuditch...it may be from the blue flame..i believe its from a us built motor...i bought it of ebay..the seller hadnt modified one..but he supplied the details and i did it myself...just have to file off an alloy stopper and shorten the drive shaft 1/4"..then pack the retaining bracket...quick and easy...the power increase is enourmous...im up 1 1/2 gears over the mountain range...or its as good with a trailer load of wood now as it was without a trailer before...but its got a 320 holley with a custom pre plenum and extractors with 2 1/2" open system..all home made...ill find his details and get back to you

[psetony]

My old paddock basher is a Datsun 4WD, its got over 400 000 on the clock but we picked it up for a load of firewood. Unregistered so I can only use it on the farm (too young for a license anyway) but its great for hunting, fencing and feeding stock. A while ago I put a tree branch through the canopy side window but that just means I don't have to open the back anymore (i chuck my gear in through the side);)
Maybe when I get my license I'll get it registered, it runs great just looks a bit rough.

[Stray Jay]

Wareagle, I just returned from a trip up top in a spanking new one of those V8 cruisers, they are absolute weapons. Thing just ate everything alive. Has me wanting to trade in old Jezzabell for a new truck.

Well my old Jezza.
1990 Troopy, BF's, ironman underneath (about to go to Raw4x4), duals, solar, 40lt engel, full boxing, 2 way, polk audio, Warn Winch, 240xgt's, loads of stuff to stay out bush, for as long as possible.

I had been a city dweller or hoon of sorts my whole life, bowhunting and my troopy have changed my life.

[DylanK]

Troopies are awsome cars! Went to fraser island in one with 9 other guys, bit squashy but lotsa fun. I drive a suzuki sierra but hope to get maybe the new Troopcarrier ute. Will be awhile though

[jasonfish]

I just picked up this HJ45 for a great price of $2500 its duel fuel & has only done 150,000 k's so im a happy bloke right now!

[d@rk51d3]

Those 45 series are absolutely classic. Nice find there Jase. ;)

[Muddy999]

I dislike you intensely at the moment Jase LOL. I love the old grey ghosts, they are a real 4x4 and are so open to restoration or modding it is not funny. There was one made by an engineer I think his name was Dobbin. It was lifted and then ontop of that it had a hydraulic lift kit like an LSD inspired low rider but in reverse. With the flick of a switch it could be lifted another metre or so, level out on the steep stuff and was just an awesome old truck. When it hit tough truck the first year it blew people away!

[skeeter]

:mad:used to have a 94 troopy with pretty much everything arb make strapped on.... but it now lives with my ex missus in sydney. so i have a 92 hz75 ute it goes ok after a motor and gearbox rebuild new starter motor new radiator new tyres new brakes.... miss my troopy more each day

Haha yea Muddy im disliked by alot of people right now because of it ,but hey the truck must have wanted me coz it fell right in my lap!!

Its got a spot of rust the size of a five cent piece on the roof & a tear in the seat but appart from that she is a beaut. This weekend im going to pull the wood paneling off the tray then sand & lacker it, give the radiator a flush & hey presto new truck!!

Cant wait to take her on the dirt where she belongs..

[Muddy999]

Mate that is awesome, they look treat with the wood trays on them. Other trucks may get you there fast and in comfort but the old 45 will get you there in style.
