Hi Soulwinner,<br /><br />Here's the answer to your request for pictures.<br /><br />The vehicle is basically a 'standard' model. I believe they are only available in Australia, South Africa and Saudi Arabia. It has doors at the back (instead of tailgates), vinyl floor coverings not carpets (what sane person would have carpets in a 4WD????) and a live front axle. It also came with a 4.2l OHC naturally aspirated diesel engine and 16" split rim wheels. The mods I've done are the following:<br /><br />4.2l toy(ota) engine (128hp, 210lb-ft) out, 6.5l real engine (175hp, 325lb-ft) in!<br />Springs (Lovell), shocks(Koni) and bushing (polyurathane).<br />Diffs changed from 4.3:1 to 3.7:1<br />Dual battery setup. Compressor (visible in photo #2) for refilling tires (also capable of running air-locker diff centres).<br />Snorkel fitted and wheels changed to 16" single pieces rims.<br />Central locking and alarm/immobilizer.<br />Long range Cibie 'Super Oscar' lights and Cruise control (both essential for the long drives)<br />9,500lb Warn winch. Furuno GPS. 27MHz and UHF transceivers. 6 stack CD player (Clarion, also essential for long drives). <br /><br /><br />This is of the outside of the vehicle (obviously!) The only hint of the beast under the bonnet (hood) is the small "V8" badge glued to the wing, just in front of the front door.<br /><br /><br />
<br /><br />Now for the one you REALLY want to see. The photo doesn't really show it off to well, but here it is anyway.<br /><br />
<br /><br />Hope this satisfies your curiosity <br /><br />Chris............
