Wanted to start a build thread to document my progress on this thing. It's a 2008 model 2wd V6 manual. Picked it up cheap, needed new tyres, battery, timing chain, clutch, rear main seal and just major service which is all done. Did a 2000km (1250mile) trip recently and apart from using a bit of oil it was fine. Forgot to mention it has 200,000kms (125,000 miles) so the engine is a bit tired...

Immediate plans are a simple air suspension system and smooth out the body
Future plans are LS swap and completely redo the interior

The 3.6 he is talking about is a dohc and a real torque monster

So, do you guys have like kangaroos that jump out in front of cars sometimes as they are driving down the highway?

Here in the southern part of the US, we have cows that do that sometimes and it can total a vehicle depending of course on how big the cow or bull is.

I always heard in Austrailia they had a lot of jumpy kangaroos

Great idea on the gas tank. You should be able to get a pretty big tank, or at least larger than stock!

in the east it is deer
in the west it is long horn
