I already have front fender,shrouds,PRM grab bar,headlight garnish so its well on the way to a re-build the price was very reasonable for its condition so im pretty happy and yes i agree not too many of them here in Australia.

Sweet find you got there. Now you need to get to Trikefest

Some how I don't think that your truck can swim that far.

**Derrick Adams** · 10-29-2006, 06:44 AM

Thats a nice looking T-3. Should be looking like new in no time, knowing you.

That truck is BADASS! I love those things. Too bad we can't get them in the states.

**MIK6** · 10-29-2006, 08:14 AM

NICE FIND ON THE T3!!!!!
If you have any T3 questions send them my way, I'll help out any way I can. Good luck w/ the rebuild.

We had one of those trucks along with our landcruiser 90 series. Its a Toyota Hilux 4 door. Ours was a 2.8 turbodiesel 5 speed manual with dual batteries, snorkel, no lift, roo-bar, hoodie-rack, and a few other odd's and ends. This truck was a good beater lol compared to the landie 80 series turbodiesel LX with a lot of good things including a lift. The landie was good for long trips but this one might have been good i dont remember. I know we took a trip in it from Perth to Adelaide(sp?) but then again, we took the landie cross country billions of times so who knows. Here is a good pic of one from the internetsssss:

that has the wanker bar up front, more or less the america bar. A ROO-BAR takes up the entire front bumper and replaces the front bumper. None of this little bolt to the bumper crap!

Here's a good pic of the landie we had, not ours but looked exactly like it but with a rack and a sunvisor on top:

sorry to take the thread away a bit lol

NICE trike by the way.
