Another Tow vehicle in the build...

Not really sure if anyone interested or not but i'm gunna post some progress pics anyways....

Decide I needed a tow vehicle ( I tow a car trailer for work a couple of times a week about 200k round trip each time) that had a greater towing capacity than 2100kg (my VE SS sportwagon) and had more grunt than our 3 litre turbo diesel Rodeo.

What about a Rodeo, 3 tonne towing capacity, with a V8?? Can't buy it so why not build it.

So...... I have started....

Bought a written off 09 VE SS manual ute for $6k at auctions just before Xmas.

The donor vehicle complete with L98 6.0 litre and Tremec TR6060 6 speed manual

I then managed to get a 2007 Rodeo turbo diesel 4x4 that was missing on one cylinder for $12,500. Replaced a dodgy injector and good as new. Now to sell the turbo diesel engine...

Engine has now been taken out of the SS and the sell off of surplus SS parts has begun..

If ur interested i'll keep posting as it happens.... I may have a buyer for the motor & box out of the Rodeo... $4500....... fair price i think....
