It comes with a 4200cc engine, or 4.2 ltr called a TB42. this runs on petrol.

Comes with 5 wheels and tires 3 mirrors, 2 diffs, 1 transfercase, 1 gearbox of some description, has a shorter wheel base to the LWB, has 2 doors on side, and 1 door with a handle on the outside, and one without on rear.

it will have 3.9, 4.1, 4.3 or 4.6 diff ratios depending on if its stock or not.

It was made in 1990 or 1991.

Anything more, just ask..

Ah, I'll have to correct you there Bogged, 1 door per side and 2 on the rear. Geez, I always thought you could get good tech on this site - perhaps I was wrong...


What sort of specs were you after Rhett?

Oh, oops, my mistake, I must be losing my mind. I could have sworn I saw written down the bottom of the post : 'Last edited by bogged on Wed Oct 01, 2003 1:30pm, edited 1 time in total'

I just checked again - yep, still there!

Anyway back on topic - Rhett, what specs were you after?

No I bushed my longreach for a tow rig with twin sticks. But It is getting less and less panels and more and more unroadworthy
