If you search hard enough on this forum you will probably find a photo at least of it.




Awesome response. Didnt expect anything more.

Sorry to disappoint, surely there's other threads that need an argument?

Yeah tell me about it. Sand is what makes up 90% of WA. Would keep well away from sand in 2wd. However i have seen some surprising things and have video proof. Not that anyone is interested because Mont is right and pottery beige's one liner proves ive never had a 4x4.

Hang on a minute....are you the hulk?

Oh, also the Patrol has a bloody good rear LSD, so it will go quite a ways without a diff lock, but if you new about them ,you would know that.

After driving a fair bit of W.A then comparing the 'Interceptor's' responses to what I know about the east coast and particularly the Victorian high country, I would say "stay in W.A. in your Landcruiser mate", there is no comparison on terrain.

You bag out the GQ Patrol, but lets compare apples with apples and talk about the 60 Series Landcruiser (I traveled a lot with B.I.L. and his family, us in our Maverick and him in his 60 Series Landcruiser). I also did a lot of testing for a Victorian Emergency Service, we compared a GQ, an 80 Series, a Toyota Troop Carrier, Toyota Hilux and Land Rover Defender.

* Fuel Economy - exactly the same (engine 4.2l vs 4.2l both diesel)
* Performance - exactly the same
* Repairs over time - him - rebuild gearbox - me viscous coupling on fan

You bag out the GQ but compared to the 60 Series, same time line, they were exactly the same but the 60 Series was on LEAF springs, not coil, soot blowing, fuel using (an all that other rambling **** you want to go with). When came to be in the bush, leaf versus coil you know what was better. The 80 Series came out in response to the GQ but with suspension too soft, you could hardly corner it, but with the same old soot blowing, fuel using 4.2l diesel (from Toyota)

Compare apples with apples my friend

This is interesting viewing (considering Toyota are NOT innovators, they are followers, you would think they would fix this)

I had the GQ Petrol shorty, years ago it had a manual rear sway bar release and pretty sure it had a rear locking diff.

Great car, in it's day.

From the original brochure: "Free-flowing exhaust, revised ignition system".

IIRC, Brock's mother knitted that jumper for him.

[Bossxr8]

I had no idea Brock did a Maverick. Anyone know how many he sold?

[Ford17]

Possibly 4:

Hi they made 11 that I know of as a friend of mine has no 11
Cheers Judy

I remember Brock showing up as a guest speaker at a former employer and he was in a Maverick - it created a bit of a stir among the participants

[Trevor 57]

Here is my Maverick, sold it about 10 years ago - damn shame - it was a great car. TD42 with an aftermarket turbo. I sold it to a young bloke for about $5k more than value (at the time) who managed to **** it in a short period of time. It was in great nick, '89 model which we bought when it was 18 months old with 20,000k on it, sold it with 202,000k on it, we had it for 17 or 18 years and saw a lot of Australia in it
