Description:
Here is my Holden Jackaroo from 1992 with the 3.1 diesel. I got it about 2 1/2 years ago off ebay. Looked real familiar so we had to check it out. Went a looked it over, found the owners manual, turns out it used to bd my old mans car! He bought it new in 1992 and kept it for 4 years and sold it. Thought nothing of it until i saw it on ebay. He paid something like 35-40k in 92 for it and sold it for the same 4 years later. I got it for 3k! Hehehe. It had 350k when i got it, now it has 400k on it.
She goes pretty much anywhere really, we try all the local stuff like toolangi, warburton, mt dissapointment and wombat sf. Also do plenty of trips up in the high country around Dargo, Walhalla and Licola. Also like going further afield to places like big desert and the otways. Looking to do a cape york trip next year with a return through the simpson desert.
Also would like to mention that it is part of a group feature in Australian 4wd Action magazine issue 199 due out late may 2013.
