Defence Vehicle Disposals - 2013 onwards

[Polizei]

Does the army release all the EMEI's? I would be interested in having a read through all the ones that relate to the unimogs

[juddy]

wolf ones do exist, so the Perenties ones are the same?

The sliding window door tops are Wolf so likely the door bottoms are the same.  They are not quite the same as  the SIII type.

Another retrofit is the hard top.

A Perentie soft top can retrofit into a hard top.  What is needed is the 110 civvy 3 door hard top, or a 110 station wagon roof and SIII or SIIA sides and upper tailgate (with the hinge brackets for the roof) or fit a SW door,

I think the canvas to hard top is a winner.

I was only thinking about that the other day

[Hot Rover]

Now that sounds like a good idea.... 


what do i need...

First, you need space.
Send me the workshop


Seriously, Juddy, are you thinking of getting one of these Perenties and converting it to five speed? Adding power steering? Air conditioning would be good if you want to set it up as a tourer.
Maybe we should start another thread. "Perentie improvements and modifications."
With the numbers that may be coming on the market, could potentially be a big topic. Might need a section on its own.

I agree with Mick_Marsh start another thread!!!
Who is the moderator on ths thread? I seems to me that you are letting the thread stray away from the original topic of Defence Disposals. It appears the posts now relate to another topic concerning vehicle upgrades and setting up another business venture. Lets bring the topic back on track.

the auction just proves that the vehicles were overpriced as for the person wanting $41000 for 3 door hard top who was dreaming.

who bought unimog please have them Non destructive inspection to identify where the welding cracks in the chasis are.

mining specifications changed this year that is why toyota bought out the dual cab landcruiser.

What are the welding cracks u refer to? Do these mogs have a common problem in this regard?

So did anyone here buy one of the first batch???

Hi Everyone
I picked up  a TD5 at the auction in Brisbane with a little help from HOT ROVER.
It has proved to be a great wagon  I drive it everyday and haven't put a spanner on it yet.
Also got a good trailer on the day as well which I have used camping.

[LANDY 59]

Forgot to mention it was ARN. 205-301

[Uncle Ho]

That's odd,as 205-301 is Hot Rover's vehicle ? I was at that auction and recommemded HR to get it,and gave him a short list of trailers    the others were 302-303-305 as 304 was written off in a MVA and sold out at Bandania in 2009.

or are also part of the crew where Hot Rover works

Thread hijack - is it MVA (motor vehicle accident) or MVC (motor vehicle crash)?  There is rarely a crash where there were not preventable human factors as the cause, therefore it is rarely an accident!

[LANDY 59]

Hi Uncle Ho
I think you might be getting myself (Landy59) and Hot Rover mixed up.We are very good mates and share the same rugged good looks!
I'm the one that drove my land rover  205-301 now rego "WE FLY" to Canungra just a week after the auction in Brisbane and we had a good chat together on the oval.
If it helps you remember I'm also the guy that works with Wayne Milburn (slat grill jeep fame) in Toowoomba at AEROTEC.

Well, didn't take long. Some of those Army 110 sold last week have turned up at a Brisbane retailer, Couzins Bros:

I wonder if he will regret that being as more will come to auction and those will probably be hard to sell. I guess time will tell the demand, mind you, a soft top is always fun!
