60 series are battle waggons. Had one till the top rusted off. It would take 33's no problems but will need lifting to take 35's. You can get suspension mods at the local supermarket - well just about. Most 4wd shops have kits etc for them, eg, re-bent springs, longer shocks etc etc. They are heavy and don't like soft sand too much, but they are dependable and very tough in the drive train except the 5th gear suffers premature wear, but can be fixed cheaply. Funny thing, don't see many of them off-road nowadays - perhaps cause most have rusted to death?
Nice gq swb ute chop with a huffer for the good times
come to south oz, there are 1000's of them offroad... they just never quit.Reddo wrote:60 series are battle waggons. Had one till the top rusted off.

Spit my last breath
Apologies for hijack.
I have a 75 series 2H, and I notice recently 5th gear is getting noisier. I read with interest the comment about being able to 'fix' this cheaply.
Is anyone able to expand on this 'fix' at all?
