Two years and thousands of hours of work have produced one of the cleanest and most versatile Cruisers in either hemisphere. Mark and his crew can be proud of their silver Forty Shorty. If you ever find yourself in Rockhampton, Australia, look for it under the world's largest ARB sign. Unless, of course, Mark's out having some fun behind the wheel.
