Hi All
Just picked up a new 4.5 TD V8 76 series cruiser. Its different from the 200 but has its own benifits. Just wondering who else has one and what they have done to it. I am getting ready to deck it all out. Anyone with one, what size tyres did you go for. I fitted some 35's to it the other day and they fit, but i am judt not sure. I am thinking 33. Has anyone tried Khumo KL71's?
Looking forward to decking out this car, fuel tanks, draws,
suspension, lights bars and all the gear.
Anyway, hope everyone is great, dont get on heree much lately.
Loving the old school new car

G'day mate, I am sure we can find some mud around here to help get it dirty. Tyres, I don't know those, but have just logged up 10,000kms on the Maxxis and they are looking good so far. I know you have tried those though.
See you later in the week, I am sure we can hang a few cans and streamer off the 76 Series.

Adam,
The offer for a set of drawers gratis, still stands. I do like to return favours. No need to do a measure, we've already done the 76.
Thanks for the help with the gennie, they're getting me a new one this week.
Jim.

Gday Crazie
Sorry dont have any advice on the 76, but I am a big admirer of this model.
Have actually thought it may be the one to convert me to a Toyota. lol
I reckon kittin a 4by out is one of the best parts of owning one, have fun and make sure you post some pics when its all done.
Cheers

Have had my 76 GXL now for 6 days and am in the same process as you with the fitting out etc. Fitting an ARB battery carrier for the second battery with Redarc smart solenoid, IPF drive lights, power points for the fridges in the back, HF and UHF radios. Yet to come is the Jarram Tracklander roof rack. Do you have any info on a second fuel
tank, availability, cost etc? Only done about 200Km in
mine so far and loving it. Regards Nav.

Hi Nav
Yes i am loving it too, was a lot different from the 200, but no i think it is better suited to my needs. Love the engine and seating posistion. I am starting to look for the tyres, not sure which ones.. Fuel
tank, we are making a replacement main
tank of about 160L, I had a look at the utes with the 2 tanks, but the exhaust and other things are routed differentlly to fit the send factory 90L
tank. Upgraded to the GME TX3440, putting the VMS unit back in, bar is on, but thats about all. Everything to come. Changing the
snorkel head (Ram) to get better air in as it struggles with the current dust bowl on top. Evertually will change the whole
snorkel. Thinking a roof top tent for this one as
well.
Cant wait to deck it out.
