Does anyone know much about the country packs? I have the base plate thingy which came with my sandman. Not sure if it was on it from new but it was in Tamworth all its life so it wouldnt surprise me. Byron knows the car. I wouldnt mind putting it back on as I reckon a sandman with a country pack would be pretty unique. But what else made up the country pack? Cheers.

I found in the HZ catalogue a shock absorber stone shield and lower control arm reinforcement bracket were part of the Outback Equipment package.

true all were dealer accessories across the range, I would think very few city cars would have had these options put on apart from mudflaps and perhaps the HD radiator for towing. This would make some of the others rare parts by now.

Thanks guys. There are quite a few options there. Mine definitly has a high ride height, but it will be getting lowered at some stage. Ill have to check the rest but i might chuck the stone tray back on anyway for something different. Cheers.
