Rocket s 79 series with auto conversion that he drives HARD! • CUSTOMS #34

If you haven’t seen this Cruiser do its thing over the last few years, you must have been living under a rock! Rocket Rod’s absolute monster of a 79 Series Cruiser, affectionately known as ‘My Roo’, has not only tackled some of the toughest tracks in Oz – From the remote Oombulgurri Track in the Kimberley, right through to the Climies track in Tassie and everything in between – but it’s also one of the best setup Cruisers we’ve been lucky enough to feature. And with good reason too! Because if there’s one thing Rocket Rod needs from his Cruiser with all the tough trips it does with 4WD Action, or from all the farm work and daily driving it does, it’s that it needs to be reliable. So you can bet your next cold one that if it lasts on Rockets Cruiser, its worth running! This Cruiser is also a show vehicle for Wholesale Automatic Transmissions, out of Bayswater in Victoria. They specialise in automatic conversions and upgrades, and Rockets Cruiser is running the crown jewel of an auto conversion - a factory Toyota 6-speed automatic transmission out of the 200 Series LandCruiser.
