Or they parked it on dry grass and the exhaust ignited it? I've heard of similar things happening to police cars

We always check under our 4wd's after doing a paddock inspection, as the grass tends to collect around the gearbox/exhaust.

Thats Gold!!! Well Said.


Would be definately worth a look for the driveline components, and anyone with a AU Wagon or Ute looking to convert.

Wonder how much it will go for?
