THE HISTORY OF PROJECT PERENTIE
In the mid 1980s, the Australian Defense Force sent out tenders for nearly 3,000 vehicles to be produced for active service. The competition was reduced to three potential manufacturers: Land Rover, Jeep and Mercedes. Land Rover (Jaguar Rover Australia, to be precise) got the nod to build both 4X4 and 6X6 propelled vehicles
The Perentie chassis is damn-near bomb proof and is completely hot-dipped galvanized to prevent rust. The standard small-capacity Land Rover engines were not deemed powerful enough, much to the dismay of Land Rover purists; and a Japanese-sourced Isuzu 3.9l 4BD1 power plant was chosen. This diesel engine is an absolute torque monster, even Moreso in the 6X6 variants that were also turbo-charged to cope with additional loads.
ARMY SERVICE
The Perentie was based on the Land Rover Defender 110, and was introduced in 1987 to replace the ageing fleet of Series 2A and 3 Land Rovers. They have proven themselves both in Australia and on operations overseas, including in Somalia, Timor Leste, the Solomon Islands, Iraq and Afghanistan.
ISUZU POWER
As mentioned, the decision was made to not include a Land Rover engine in the Perentie series. Say what you will about Land Rover reliability, realistically engines such as the 300tdi and now the TD5 have proven to be up to the task when well cared for (while delivering exceptional fuel economy in the process, too). But the Army wanted more, and more is what they got.
From military Wiki - The major differences between the Land Rover Perentie and British Land Rovers is a widened rear chassis due to the relocation of the spare wheel to a position under the rear of the load area, a galvanized chassis and the Isuzu engine, which was also commonly used in the 1980s on Australian-built long-wheelbase civilian versions of the Series and Defender Land Rovers. The 6 x 6 version has a wider cab and load sharing leaf-sprung rear axles. The name Perentie originates from Land Rover's successful tender to Project Perentie which was the official Australian Army trial to select new 1 and 2-tonne light vehicles. During the Project Perentie trials the Land Rover/Isuzu 110 and 6 x 6 variants were compared against the Jeep AM10, the Mercedes-Benz 300GD and the Unimog, while the Toyota Landcruiser was evaluated two years later. The origins of the name comes from the Perentie (Varanus giganteus) lizard species, which is the largest goanna lizard native to Australia.
