Mine is welded. Jersey's is bolt-on. So I have to think no?

The Postal had a beefier factory set-up, too. I always assumed that was for all the weight it carried, but now I wonder if they beefed them up factory for the weight of the top as well?

I'd have to go look again, but I think it's 10 in the rear? They did not come from the factory like that. This was a true "Outback" rig used in the SW Territory from what I've learned. It also was a dual fuel rig, running on petrol and propane, so it had a large propane tank mounted in the rear...

Hey, Buzz! Awesome looking rig. I know of at least one other rotting on Australia's east coast. It was factory made that way from what the original owner told me. It was too far gone for me to bring over here.

Do you still have them? I'd love to have them I might even be able to put them back on at least on the front here in Ohio.

Need some input.... Overlander is going to need plates... Have any favorites?

Ditto! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Australian versions? Awesome!!

And the first of my parts documentation...

Ok, waiting for ride at airport in Detroit, so here's a couple quick eye candy pics I shot while unloading yesterday...

So there's a little catch switch you can jimmy if you stick a flathead (very small one) in the second hole/slot from the right. Then the cylinder slides right out with no more disassembly of the column. Unfortunately, the lock cylinder didn't fit. They looked identical in size/shape, but...

Got it!

Ok, figured out the compression tool... Got the retainer spring off... Hand screwed out the hazard flasher activator/button... Removed the plastic cover and internal horn assembly... And unscrewed the three screws holding in the turn signal assembly and moved it aside. I can now...

Ok, got the horn / steering wheel off... Here is where I am... I also have one of these, but no idea how it works... What now?

Spent three hours plus unloading the U-Haul this morning. Back is shot. Can't stop though. Going to pick up tools now. I leave for Detroit at 5 AM in the morning for work, so time feels like it's already slipping away from me. Hopefully I can make all this work in time to get the truck trailer...

I was in Virginia for about 50 minutes as I drove up 77 from North Carolina to West Virginia. This was a quick turnaround trip. Down and back 12 hours. Well, it was supposed to be anyway.

Ok. This was first sold in 1985, but I checked the VIN and it is indeed an 84. So that's settled... I need another tool, huh? The cylinder is easy to get out of tj's... Just my luck. Thanks for all the input and offers of help.

I think I have this first issue solved. AutoZone will loan you steering wheel puller's for nothing, and they said they be able to get me a new ignition cylinder and key by tomorrow morning. So I should be able to pull the wheel pull the old ignition put a new one and reinstall everything and...

Column would still be locked. No spare key included.

Ok, so just got home... Steering column is locked, key broken off in ignition. I tried shoving the rest of the key in there to try to get it to turn, no dice. So no starting, no steering. I need to get it off the trailer so I can return it and have through tomorrow. Suggestions? Can I get to the...
