I am only going off sales history... a 5/10 HX Overlander pulls more than a 5/10 HX Sandman

A standard Sandman is a standard Sandman.
It would be fun. They must nearly have had a Jeep transfer case Absinth. Two sticks! I would love a one tonner version.

Dana20 transfer, Dana44 front diff and Dana60 rear. Basically a 1974 Blazer driveline with a heavy duty rear axle. I sold mine for $10k, it was a HZ B06 L31 M41 tonner originally, in Ultra Blue. Only 6 x tonners were ever made.

Holden should of taken more notice of those 4wd's. That was where the future lay for their commercial vehicles. Once again they missed the boat and handed the huge market to Toyota.

^^^ not kidding play.... I have the Off Road mag that featured that HZ wagon which I bought new and read the feature. Love the Overlanders and XY 4wd. The Overlander were a bit high geared for real off road work and the auto would run away on steep hills but they were great on the beach and sand.

WBute, you are correct... ww2 jeeps had Dana diffs.

Interesting that one is also originally from Inverell just like the Overlander. Jeez that thing has been on the market for years and years.
Aftermarket side glass, 4 bodgy screws above the windscreen, dent in tailgate, crease/rust in upper tailgate among other roughness (Check out the masking of the headlight surrounds). Again somebody playing double or nothing chasing big bucks for a pretty average low spec Sandman.
