Good one Larry!

He's a good bloke, hard but a genuine straight shooter and a bit of a larrikan to boot, your never left guessing with LP.  I remember seeing that truck when he was building it up at his workshop

Thanks Matt,

Interested in how he worked out the rest of them were all looking in the wrong spot.

Think they were all looking around the coordinates from the journal and he did more research as to where they actually went rather than just the coordinates

Yes that would of been fun, The old 150hp MB Trac Mercedes 4x4 tractor I use to drive had the gear box then a short shaft to the tranfurcase and I was told the Unmog was the same, so he could put any gearbox like a road ranger or Spicier or a Allison Auto that bolted up to the Mec motor that had a top gear faster, The old LJ 50 Suzuki was the same, Craig
