Multidrive 6x6 LCruiser

Yeah BIGDOG I must admit that part about the $30,000 is somewhat daunting. I would have to be convinced that there was a real benefit, thats why I asked for you guys input.

Thanks, Pop

Thanks for that Kiwi, the rear tyres scuffing on tight turns was another factor, without driving one I have no way (other than asking) of determining how much this affects performance and tyre life. Reduced tyre life is something I have grown used to, its to me part of going into off road situations, but if the back end restricts manouverability too much then its not a mod worth doing. I guess I,ll just have to carry less junk LOL.

Cheers, Pop

Bonz, thanks for the reply, and yeah I get the bit about driving a Mighty Toyota (read your rig and profile) Thanks for not turning it into a Tojo v Nissan debate. You said that you are using two for work, do you mind if I enquire what type of work? Your reply brought some positive aspects into their use so your comments on off road ability and the like would be much appreciated.

Cheers Pop

Work for Powercor the electricity company, the cars have done like 300000km, on the go hauling a heap of weight and the guys love them, in and out of paddocks road and dirt

Hey Bonz, they wouldnt be coming up for replacement soon by any chance?

:-))))))))

Then I guess I would be at the back of a long queue LOL.

Thanks, Pop

Thanks Kia, do you mean for sale? I have had a browse of Multidrive,s website, they have shots of the vehicles they have modified, different applications and their workshop. I was after some feedback from people that had actually used them or knew someone that had. I have been looking at camper trailers, caravans, smallish motorhomes etc. I currently use a "slideon" unit with our ute and am reasonably happy with that but for longer trips would like something a little larger with off road ability. I cant afford a Unimog and OKA,s in reasonable condition are few and far between. Heard and seen problems with OKA,s too. also parts outside capital cities may be a problem, the guys at Multidrive claim a large degree of comonality with original Toyots bits.

Cheers Pop

Hi Pop,
No I don't have any for sale, just taken some photos of three different vehicles that I came across wandering around the country. You obviously have a lot of info already, from your first post I thought maybe you were just starting out on enquiries about these type of vehicles.

I totally agree with the comments below by Andrew B from Kununurra.

Yeah thanks for the reply John, I saw a couple on a BHP minesite at Newman in the Pilbara about fifteen or sixteen years ago and dismissed them at the time. I think whoever modified these used a Toyota transfer case between the two rear axles to engage and disengage the drive. If I remember correctly they had problems with the drive to the rearmost axle and they had become a 6x4 instead of 6x6. I was hoping the Multidrive guys had more success. I will see if the Geelong mob are still doing them if they have a web page.

Cheers Pop
