I have amongst other road reports the original Sandman 4x4 write up.
Not bad for a bloke in Tassie to get full factory backing for his dream
This guy did not do the XY 4x4 utes as far as I know, they were based on the FJ55 tojo

I have wanted one of those utes, since about '84, when I saw an immaculate one zipping through Maribyrnong.
Is that the guy from Launceston? He made what were called "overlanders". Holden panel van on Toyota chassis. Bloody awesome looking. There were a lot of copies but his original overlanders still sell very well.Quote:

No toyota chassis, thats the modern copy
Original had Dana diffs under reinforced std chassis
Worth crazy $$ now
Ahh yep, I just read the article!Quote:

Corners very nicely too. But it's been stored away for some years now ever since i started buying newer cars.
