 FOLEY GT6x6 LS3

The ONE and ONLY  - No 1 of 1
This is what we can do, everything is made in our workshop and customised to fit this one off vehicle. Fitted with an LS3 and 6 speed auto, twin Air con and 6 Recaro seats. (spec on request)

This vehicle is a 2015 XS built vehicle - viewing by appointment only. Dry stored.



Picture

​
​This beast was fitted with the Foley 6x6 unit and limited slip differentials which, when combined with good off road tires, means you can go pretty much where ever.


A custom roll cage is added for safety.

An LS3 Engine and Auto box gets you going and a set of uprated brakes get you stopped in no time.

Caribbean calling!!!

We built 5 of these mega long 6x6 vehicles using the Foley 6x6 unit.

​The idea was to move as many people at any one time from the cruise ships that would come in to the Islands. 20 passengers at a time could fit it the rear and go on a great Island safari.

​

Picture
Built in 2019, for a gentleman who knew exactly what he wanted. This was powered by a Recon 300 Tdi engine and fitted with a Foley 6x6 unit.

All built onto a new custom galvanized chassis. Many other parts were also galvanized to last the test of time.

​ Custom Roll Cage for safety and interior to spec. This was all painted in parts and assembled in this classic Blue.

Picture
 

​This is the above vehicle prior to the body being built and it was tested as a chassis cab first.

The original vehicle was red and so the vehicle remained red with a splash of white. Its is now painted Rosso Red.

​

Picture
​​ Built in 2000 as a Global Explorer and powered by the trusted 300 Tdi.   It was built at great expense from a New LHD ROW base vehicle.

Fitted with the Foley 6x6 unit and locking diffs, 1000 ltr fuel tank, full lifting roof and many other extras. This vehicle now has had 2 owners and the vehicle continues to drive all over the world on the original engine. 

 In 2020, we completed a refit to the vehicle ready for its next adventure. This is a beast of a vehicle that has been used hard for what it was made for....adventure.
