The reference point for every PVS 70 Series build since.

MRPVS was the build that set the standard. Featured in Motive DVD and photographed internationally, it pushed every system on the 79 Series past the factory brief and finished the cabin one-of-one from end to end.

Underneath sits a Superior Outback Tourer coil conversion paired with Marks 4WD portal axles and a 33 percent low-range reduction. Range comes from a Brown Davis 180 litre tank, drivability from a Doctor Diesel tune, and presence from widebody guards over an imported tub.

Inside, the Rari steering wheel is a one-off PVS piece. Recaro CS fronts, custom black leather doors, alcantara roof and a leather centre console with a built-in Bushman fridge complete a cabin that has never been duplicated.

Build.

Suspension, driveline, range, audio and a one-of-one cabin built around a 79 Series Ute.

Marks 4WD portal axle hubs

Six inches of lift under the axle, 16 percent gear reduction at the wheel hub, GVM lifted from 3510 kg to 3950 kg, and the geometry to run 35 inch tyres without compromising steering. The signature mod that defines this build's stance.

Portal Axles

Superior Outback Tourer coil conversion

Bolt-in coil conversion with track-corrected chromoly diamond diff housing. Heavy-duty coils, remote-reservoir shocks, sway bar and four-link rear. The factory leaf spring rear is gone for good. GVM rated to 4.2 tonnes.

Coil Conversion

Brown Davis 180 litre extended-range tank

Replaces the factory 95 litre tank with 180 litres of usable diesel. Combined with the Doctor Diesel tune and 4 inch exhaust, MRPVS will cross the country without a refuel stop.

180 L Tank

Doctor Diesel tune, GSL 4 inch exhaust, PVS intercooler fan, NPC clutch

A custom Doctor Diesel ECU tune sits behind a GSL 4 inch high-flow exhaust system, a PVS intercooler fan kit and a Marks 4WD catch can. Power is fed through an NPC clutch with a strengthened front diff and Superior Diamond chromoly rear diff housing.

Engine Package

PVS 12.1 inch head unit and Alpine X-Premium audio

PVS 12.1 inch head unit. Alpine X-Premium full system, the top of the line, driven by Alpine digital amplifiers in a custom rear panel and a 10 inch subwoofer. PVS Rear Vision Mirror dashcam with GPS tracking and a PVS reversing camera with guidelines.

12.1" + Alpine

Recaro CS, PVS Rari wheel, custom black leather throughout

Recaro CS black leather front seats with rear seats trimmed to match. Custom black leather door cards. Black alcantara roof lining. PVS leather roof console with rear screen. PVS leather centre console housing a Bushman fridge-freezer. PVS Rari steering wheel, one of one.

Recaro and Leather Cabin

Highlights.

Driveline and suspension

Driveline and suspension

Superior Outback Tourer coil conversion sits over Marks 4WD portal axle hubs with 16 percent gear reduction at the wheel. A 33 percent low-range gear set, strengthened front diff and Superior Diamond chromoly rear housing carry the load. GVM lifts to 3950 kg, on 35 inch tyres.

Range and engine

Range and engine

A Brown Davis 180 litre extended-range tank nearly doubles factory capacity. A Doctor Diesel tune, GSL 4 inch high-flow exhaust, PVS intercooler fan kit, NPC clutch and Marks 4WD catch can support the load it now carries.

1-of-1 cabin

1-of-1 cabin

PVS Rari steering wheel is one of one. Recaro CS black leather fronts, rear seats trimmed to match, custom black leather door cards, alcantara roof lining, and a PVS leather centre console housing a Bushman fridge. Foot-well and roof glow lighting throughout.

Audio and vision

Audio and vision

Alpine X-Premium full system, the top of the Alpine line, with custom rear panel housing Alpine digital amplifiers and a 10 inch subwoofer. PVS 12.1 inch head unit. PVS Rear Vision Mirror dashcam with tracking. PVS reversing camera with guidelines.
