I was in 3rd Combat Engineer Regiment from 2011 to 2017, the Triangle on the Door with the 3 on the bottom left confirms she was 3CER, the 23 on the front and back being 23 Troop, which was 18 CE SQN. Extremely likely I drove that exact Rover at some point :D
I was one of the orderly room clerks at 3CER 18 CE SQN from 2009-2010. Went to Papua New Guinea with the squadron on ex Wantok Warrior 2009. We took over a fleet of 110's, 6x6's and Unimogs. Whilst on ex, I had the privilege of being the OC's (Major Brereton) personal driver and radio operator, but lost the former role due to speeding too many times around Port Moresby, lol. Prior to return to Aus, we spent a couple of days stripping and cleaning almost down to the chassis (as required by AQIS) - I remember sitting on a milkcrate for a seat as I drove a 110 onto the HMAS Kanimbla at port in Port Moresby. Fun times. I almost spat out my coffee when I recognised the unit markings. I live in melbourne now, and the only other 110 I've seen driving around that's kept it's unit markings was also an ex 3CER vehicle from 25spt sqn, which I was also an orderly room clerk for in 2010.
I've been waiting for them to do a trip with these 3 4bys to see which is the better off road. I learned to drive in an old G60 and have had both Landrovers and Landcruisers, personal opinion Landcruiser was nices to drive but Landrover was better off road
The triangle logo on the doors is a Royal Australian Engineers identification symbol. The 3 would also indicate 3CER. 23 is possibly the squadron it belonged to, and because it’s an FFR it’s likely that it was a troop command vehicle ✌️👌
About time a Landy projects appears, definitely recommend Wipac crystal headlight lens, updated bulbs and a boomslang headlight loom. Loom takes a direct feed off altenator giving you the best light.
Big lift is easy on the front end of those. Like any solid axle car, get some castor corrected radius arms. The swivel hubs can easily be machined to give 3-6 deg of hub castor correction to get you tracking straight. If you have a slight driveline vibration, get yourself a Discovery 2 front propshaft, they bolt straight in and are a double cardon joint. I've been running 4-5" lift for 10 years and have been all over Aus.
I have just bought one of these beasts and love it,I did not realize how much attention it gets.I think there is alot of closet Defender Perenti lovers despite them saying they hate them.I was Toyota owner but this is the best most capable BEAST!!!
I have watched you guys for like over a year. Love the adventures and mechanical tech. I might go down under and bid on this vehicle. My daily driver is a 2015 76 series LC. I am American and former soldier who lives in Panama. My second tour here but this time I’m a civilian. Total almost 20 years. I found my LC at the port in Colon Panama. It was on the dock for a year. She only had 11km at the time. Installed ARB lockers, old man emu lift and suspension stuff. She is bad ass. The original destination was the Middle East. All the writing and owners manual is in Arabic. Now my girl in Central America. I’m amazed at what you guys do for us veterans, gooood job we are often forgotten.. cheers mates
I am a cowboy from Wyoming by the way. Most people do not know where Wyoming is. Big state in the USA up high in mountain plains and home to Yellowstone. Nobody lives here except my family
Awesone project say I as a Defender owner myself. If you're not already, can I recommend you save all the original parts removed from the vehicle and hand them over to the new owner, which will maintain authenticity and value.
G’day mouse here, I was a military mechanic for the Oz army, my specialty was the 110 Rovers. All the 6x6’s where turboed, pwr steer. There were 4x4’s that were turboed and pwr steer - the SRV (special forces) and the RSFV’s which were used in northern WA and NT. Common issues Top link rear ball joint, Right rear axle snap, And the prop shaft bolts loosen - remove the bolts and drill holes to wire them up, you’ll need a ground down spanners to get to the bolts to loosen and tighten. Almost forgot - the air filter system clogs with dirt and dust quite easily, a KN style foam filter cover/surround will help. Good luck with the old girl ( a 5 speed would have been nice - 4 speed is really limited to 80 klm/ hr) Cheers mouse
Wow! My first 4WD was an ex New Zealand Army 2A Landrover... and funnily enough it too had been a radio vehicle! And... the first (TV in those days) offroading show I can recall watching was the Bush Tucker Man featuring Les Hiddens who drove a Perentie! This is going to be fantastic content! Frothing is an understatement!
The wolf wheels are definitely the correct choice, they're tough as nails. We mashed one into a low wall at about 50mph many years ago, took out the wall, only a small ding in the wheel
Not sure about the land rovers but on other radius arm suspensions they offer radius arms with different caster built in, adjustable caster arms, bent arms, relocation brackets, or offset bushings depending on how much change in caster you need. The old way was even cut and weld the arms to correct the caster. Basically imagine the axle side as a circle with the arm attached to it, cut the arm off, rotate the axle side something like 6 degrees and weld it back together.
It’s good it has an upgraded rear diff. The earlier 110s’ rear diffs and axles were notoriously weak. Just spinning one rear wheel was often enough to break an axle!. Great video.
There is a very very high chance that used to be one of the rovers I used to drive my LT around in when I was in 3cer from 2000 - 2005 brought back so many memories id give anything to have that back in my life.. to own that would be a dream come true
Joko install the perentie 6x6 complete front differential!! Much stronger than what’s in it! The 6x6 had the salsbury front diff aswell as the rear, the 110 in had the salsbury in the rear only!
I would love to see a Landy in the 4wd 24/7 main fleet! That being said, I love what you’re doing here! And, being from the US, I hadn’t heard of the Perenti before so great bit of history!
Anybody thinking of owning one, make sure you have at the very least the basic rollover hoop behind the front seats. Even the hard top version has NO rollover protection. They fold like paper. Stay safe. The 24v loom is entirely separate for the radios only but dont bin the alternator, they cost more than an engine.
Good friend of mine, Pete Kidd was killed in a roll-over in a MK ii land rover. He was sitting on the toolbox immediately behind the front seat with his backing facing the windscreen. We used to call that seat the suicide seat
Jock’s presenting skills are 10/10
When are you going to come and work on a sh*tbox with us?
The two best 4wd channels on RUclips in one video 🤔
The episode the mcm and and 4wd 24/7 fans are waiting for 🥵
That would be the best collaboration ever!
4wd 247 and mighty car mods? I'd watch the crap out of that, this needs to happen like immediately
the 2 best 4wd channels combining??? which is best, though? ;)

Jock should invite you on a podcast or a episode and talk about it if all checks out
FFR model too with those extra little doors.
ARN 48-787

That’s pretty awesome
ANZAC Day aswell, how special mate. Great work Jocko
We will remember them
Lest we forget
We are a 100% volunteer run charity and super pumped for the support. Jocko and the team have been amazing and supportive from day 1.
Can't wait to see how she handles the cape. Good on you guys!
So the farm truck, the 60, Clifford and Private Perentie. Old school road trip!!!
nah would have to be lieutenant landy lol
I've been waiting for them to do a trip with these 3 4bys to see which is the better off road.
I learned to drive in an old G60 and have had both Landrovers and Landcruisers, personal opinion Landcruiser was nices to drive but Landrover was better off road
@@lesralph70as agricultural the 110 landy was back in 88 it's still miles ahead of any dirty old ute that hasn't seen a road since 2005 😂
Derp
Hell of alot of these where stored and rebuilt at Wadsworth brks Bandianna worked on these for about 6yrs
Very cool jocko - my uncle Les hiddins would froth this episode ❤️ should try and get the old boy out to show you some tricks ;)
Mate! welcome to the sickness that is Perentie! Me and my mates own about half the Perenties currently in the USA.
Could make a new series out of rescuing old 4x4’s and raffling them off at the end. Would make great midweek content
The triangle logo on the doors is a Royal Australian Engineers identification symbol. The 3 would also indicate 3CER. 23 is possibly the squadron it belonged to, and because it’s an FFR it’s likely that it was a troop command vehicle ✌️👌
Good cause lads very keen to watch the following episode SUPPORT THE AUSSIE DIGS
About time a Landy projects appears, definitely recommend Wipac crystal headlight lens, updated bulbs and a boomslang headlight loom. Loom takes a direct feed off altenator giving you the best light.
The only thing I could do is paint the diff cover, 4wdd24/7 you are all truly decent people
Brilliant - Great to see something other than a Toyota or Nissan on the channel.
Trust Jocko to pull up the most unusual nugget to build up. It's an amazing choice my guy!!
Sick vid. Can't wait to see the bolt-ons.
Love a perentie! This thing Is quite possibly the most purpose built tent on wheels ever made!
It's cape york ready as is 😂
It's already built.
It about time mate! Good on ya to bring some culture back into 4WD24/7
Jock you need a land rover 101 in your life
My pop daily drove a 2a for 40+ years. We still own it, Tough old girl 👍
Perfect Anzac day upload...Awesome rigs... makes me wanna watch Bush tucker man all over again.
That's literally a dream Rover of mine!! I sure wish we had them in the US!!! I love the Land Rover content 🤙🏻
This lD are going to be beat epic
Good ol Dandenong rsl
I remember watching that Huey go up outside the front
At last youll have a reliable car in your fleet can't wait to see it in action
4K uploads finally 🤩🤩🤩
Hell yeah, the old FFR goes hard, make use of those battery banks on the side and fit up 4x batteries for all the equipment!!!

This is going to be the most popular Cape York trip I think plus luv your nerdy explanation of the army specific mods
About time you guys got a real 4x4 on here!
About time something great.
Now this is going bring some great viewing and some memories back.
I have just bought one of these beasts and love it,I did not realize how much attention it gets.I think there is alot of closet Defender Perenti lovers despite them saying they hate them.I was Toyota owner but this is the best most capable BEAST!!!
Well stoked for this
Love an old landy
Can't beat an old landy. Should definitely keep the parts, I cant lie why did it need restoring it looked fine with some good patina. Love a landy.
Yesss, finally some Land Rover love on this channel
Awesome episode mate... Great to learn about this legendary 4WD and how to keep it capable and reliable
Finally, a good-looking truck hehe :)
That was great to watch can’t wait for the next one 😀😀
Welcome to the Perentie club Jocko!!😊
Definitely one of my fav episodes, nice to see a bit of Aussie history being displayed. Love Jocko’s passion shine through 😉
What an awesome idea, especially with the timing of ANZAC Day
We Will Remember Them
love it. as a land rover guy, i approve! finally get to see one on my favorite show
Gosh darnit, this makes me miss my old '75 109" ex-mil. Really sweet build! Use the heck out of it!

This is going to be epic! Great cause to support, keen to see this Perentie take on the Cape 💪
Awesome Rig. Awesome Build. Awesome Cause!!!!
Land Rover content, yes please!👌🏼👌🏼
Love this build!
Love Land Cruisers but there’s just something special about old LandRovers that’s just something else
Mate i drove one of these things when I was in the Army. They got drove hard but never failed us
Outstanding! Young Veterans do incredible work! 👏🏼
i like that Jock have no car done, all are in the shed not working properly, but with confidence: " i Have new project" 😀
Awesome video. It's great to see you've purchased a true 4wd and are going to produce some fresh upcoming videos with such an iconic capable vehicle.
Looking good Jock! Can't wait to see you tackle the tracks up in Cape York!

Fun fact a GQ centre console fits quite nicely
US Air Force retiree here. Massive kudos to you Jocko. Thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Fist bump to you brother 🤜🏽🤛🏽
I saw this car on the highway near Yarragon
The wolf wheels are definitely the correct choice, they're tough as nails. We mashed one into a low wall at about 50mph many years ago, took out the wall, only a small ding in the wheel
Finally, a decent 4x4 on this channel 👏
oi cmon. shaunos hj47 farm truck is a rig
Gwyn Lewis is the man when it comes to mods for off roading a landy. Representing Llanfair Careinion!!!
As an American vet, I'm excited to see this build and where this thing ends up!

Excellent vid, welcome to the Landy Family, you'll not regret it.
Even though this one will be heading on, I feel this channel should get jock his own Parentie the joy in his face says it all
Will make a change from all the old toyotas and Nissans although i like those to
There is a very very high chance that used to be one of the rovers I used to drive my LT around in when I was in 3cer from 2000 - 2005 brought back so many memories id give anything to have that back in my life.. to own that would be a dream come true
It's from 16 fld sqn too mate. Fancy seeing you on here!!
@@justinreeves962 hahaha hey dude how are you I swear that was ours ay
It has the 3 on the the bottom left and 16 at the top, just missing the troop it was from. Not bad mate, how have you been?
@@justinreeves962 yeah I saw those 2 been pretty good mate
Awesome rig n great project. 👍
So-trying to find one in the states is a challenge. Who knew we did not like really cool trucks here 😂😂
This will be awesome mate. Fits for the ANZAC day post.
We will remember them
Lest we forget 🌺
Enjoy the project Jocko.
Excellent in every way
Lest we forget
Love this, the channel has the budget, let's restore the old girls ❤
It’s so good seeing some land rovers on this show , don’t see much of them .
YES JOCKO! You said ages ago you wanted to build a Land Rover and now you finally get to do it! I can’t wait to see this thing on the tracks! 🇬🇧🇦🇺
Keep those used axle shafts and hubs for a really bad day box!
Happy to see a defender in the Show, cant wait for next episode.
KLR boys know their stuff 👌there’s no one better IMO
Well done guys, just wish it went for longer. Looking forward to the next instalment.
Good on ya Jock! Legend! 👍
Awesome video as always Jocko. Can’t wait to see it tackle Cape York.
88 :) the year i left school. Hope you have fun with it, nice to see them getting some love.
what a cool project!
Last episode Jock drove the Zook because everything he had was broke, solution - Land Rover! awesome new content!
🤣
A great episode to watch. Jocko you the man.
Drove them for 20 years, took them over the Simpson, and up to the cape all standard towing the halmark trailer
Great for our veterans to have a connection to a military based rig .... Landrover for the win🔧🤠🏆🥇👌
that KLR rig looks so good on challengers
Well done to all involved! Makes me proud to be an Australian
