I will keep an eye out for a TD wagon, might be more convenient to buy a running wagon, transfer some fruit and sell the zd rig than a conversion. An option i'm fine with.

Good to know that the heating can be controlled, seems like a bit of work went into keeping temps down. Hopefully QLD hotter weather it still capable of keeping it cool.



Thats a useful tip to remember, do you run the same zd30 scoop, larger scoop, or no scoop?
Fairline Fibreglass scoop mate. Its made to accommodate the huge Cross country intercooler.

Doing the conversion from ZD to TD is pretty simple. The only cutting and welding needed is the engine mount brackets on the chassis. Plus, you MUST use a TD cross member. The ZD one pulls the TD back about 10mm, its fine in forward, but in reverse the exhaust manifold hits the firewall. I learnt the hard way and listened to others saying they are the same. They are clearly not.
