1991 Land Rover 6x6 Double Cab Perentie 110

Only 26 ever produced by JRA Limited for the Australian Army, manufactured and assembled in Moorebank, New South Wales. Entered service in 01/92, and was purchased at auction in June 2016. While awaiting eligibility to import, an extensive rehab was performed to bring her "up to speed" for highway travels here in the US. Current odometer shows 7550 km (swapped at 71511), having traveled 80,000 km since new onchassisand originalmotor. Currently used as daily driver, miles will gradually increase.
Background info:
The Perentie 4×4 and 6×6 are Australian-designed and built derivatives of theLand Rover 110. The 6×6 is designed to carry two tons or more across country and has its own uniquechassis. Frontsuspensionis by live axle and coil-springs. The rear bogie employs twoleaf springsand a load-sharing rocker on each side. This rocker is cranked, and theleafspringson each side overlap, so that the springs can be longer and the rear axles can be closer together than would otherwise be possible. The rear section is fabricated of square and rectangular section steel tube and thechassisis galvanized. It shares the 4-speed LT95Atransmission and Isuzu 4BD1 3.9L 4-cylinderdiesel enginewith the4WDversion, but in thiscasetheengineis turbo-charged. Drive to the third axle is by a separate propeller shaft taking power from thetransfer-case PTO. This PTO takes drive from a gear on thetransfercaseintermediateshaftand rotates at the same speed as the front (1st) and rear (2nd) prop-shafts regardless of whether hi-range or lo-range is selected. The 3rd prop-shaft passes over the second axle and is jointed, incorporating a c.v. joint, where it does so. In this way extreme articulation of the two rear axles is possible. Prototypes and early models, some of which escaped into civilian hands, used a normalLandRover110cab and front axle with the standard track of 1500mm against the rear's 1700mm. Production models use a wider, taller cab, and a 1700mm front track which matches the rear. The army specified that the 6x6 had to have a wider and taller body and cab. The windscreen is reminiscent of a Santana or IvecoLand Roverlicensed derivative, but offers a less restricted view.

Sadly, most folks will never see one of these- having only built 26! But if you do, you will see whatLandRovershould have done to the Defender in many ways!!

-Widened B pillar permits one to sit comfortably without being shoved against the B pillar.
-Widened body centers the driver on thesteeringwheel!! Not to mention the extra 4" on each side to fit inside the cab without pushing against the outside of the vehicle.
-The extra width is well hidden, but look between the front grille and the front wing. This width is further hidden by the custom bonnet and cab.
-The dash is much more functional- upgraded gauges, switches, even a glove box!
-Above the dash, at the ceiling level, is a great built in recessed area for electronics, switches, etc.
-The headliner is custom and made out of fiberglass so as to never sag or need refurbished.
The list is near endless, but at a build cost of $275k/ea, what would you expect?
