Had her for over 12 years.
Done a few mods myself to her.
Retro fitted E locker.
Diff ratios changed from 4.3 to 4.88.
35 inch tyres.
Isuzu intercooler fitted.
3 inch dump pipe and short exhaust.
Winch , snorkel
The list goes on and on..

Look forward to being involved on this forum.

Hi Calvin,

Thats a very tidy 70, some nice mods too.
Looks much bigger than a 3" lift.
Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the welcome.
Looks bigger as I have trimmed the front guards back so the 35's don't rub.

Its not too bad about 500 k's to a tank (85 plus litres).... depending how I drive it and how full I am.
Can squeeze 650 being real gentle on the throttle....
