Last year I bought a VS Commonwhore for the express purpose of driving to Toc and back with plans to flog it off as soon as I got back. I ended up daily-ing it for a while but since rego was running out I decided to give it the flick (sold this morning).
I planned to get my bike registered again and ride that but then this cropped up.
Bloke at work picked it up from his old man with plans to turn it into a bit of a touring type vehicle. Minister of War and Finance apparently had other ideas though and the foot went down.
Thats where I come in. With an offer of $500 accepted, I decided to postpone bike rego and have this for a bit of fun.
Im extremely surprised how well it drives and how capable it is offroad. 2.3 turbo diesel absolutely s*)ts all over my old hilux.
Anyway we took it out last night and had a shitload of fun. Only got stuck once
Doesnt look at all steep thanks to the pic angle but here it was seesaw-ing and felt like it was considering a life upside down

Sounds like a good score!! My old man has always owned pajeros he used to have the 2.6L LWB version of yours.
I had no idea the rear end of them flexed like that or have you pulled out the rear swaybar (assuming they have one).

Yeah I hear that - pretty sure I've stained my driver's seat a few times in the Surf thanks to the torsion bar front end. A lot of guys are doing solid axle swaps on them now and they go bloody well. Still 5-6K for a SAS on a surf that's worth 6-8K not worth it for me.
