    Some pics of my ex VZ LX Adventra in outback NSW




    And the last one is a reminder that it's not a "real" 4WD - ripped the tyre off the rim!

    Electronic TB was a bit strange when I got it and yes it is still a ls1. Good to see I get the updated tranny too and again no idea of that either.
    It is a 2005 build number 10 and has VZ on the plate.
    Hey Listy , no offence , but

    are you sure your's is an Avalanche and not a mocked up VZ Adventra ?

    Coz the last of the VZ Adventra's LX8 were fully optioned and fly by wire 250kws 5.7's.

    plus Avalanches didn't come in Silver .

    and your front is compleatly different from The VZ Avalanche .

    or was that put on after the accident ?

    besides the rolled off wheel ,
    how did the Adventra preform ??

    Re: Avalanches and other AWD Holdens Pics and Qs

    XUV mate you are wrong in a few aspects........

    Not all avalanches come with 4L65Es although all XUV and cross8s did which im spewing on....

    and avalanches did come in silver have a look here
    http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/...s=18&silo=1011

    and here
    http://www.redbook.com.au/used-cars/...d=12111DC9CBE6

    also have a look at listys engine covers there a HSV item and the rims look genuine worth over 3grand so unless someone spent a minimum of 10Grand on hsv parts it has to be a HSV

    I have to be honest the front bar seems a little questionable ive looked at as many avalanches as possible and havnt found that front bar having said that it doesnt mean it wasnt a special option/order/1off/promotion car/many other posssibilities

    if you speak to a hsv surplus specialist they will tell you about all the 1 off they can get there hands on sometimes ive seen HSV seats with a HRT logo etc.

    Re: Avalanches and other AWD Holdens Pics and Qs

    See post 14. That is what I got off the floor from HSV. Same bumper.
    Pretty sure it is a avalanche too. It is a VZ model avalanche for sure. I know there was not many of them at all in the VZ. Allot of docks say this VZ (Vy11)

    Also there is heaps of silver avalanches around. Used to be 2 in darwin.

    Had a quick look on the plate to try and help with what tranny these had. It says MD6 which means nothing to me.

    The name plate I grabbed a quick photo off too. Also the engine covers are the split type on the VZ too. Few very minor differences. The front bumper not sure off until I can find another VZ Avalanche. Build date May 2005

The front bumper not sure off until I can find another VZ Avalanche picture of one about the same order date as mine. They ordered the replacement one after the bingle from the local holden shop so some models must have them. Build date May 2005

    o.k. was just going off a XUV specs pdf .

    you didn't get the 65 .

    and agree with what you say .

    If someone went to the trouble and money to spec out a VZ Adventra to HSV ,
    with all the options the Last of the Adventras had as standard ,
    Then he got a bargin .

    p.s have you checked your number here

    Re: Avalanches and other AWD Holdens Pics and Qs

    CROSSEDUP your cross8 looks awsome mate the engine covers look great with the charger between them really makes it very neat and very tough

    HSV listy mate your avalanche looks great only thing is the wheels in my opinion and your bumper is awsome anyway its different there must not be many true vz avalanches because i searched carsales webisite for every avalanche and not 1 had your bumperbar

    Listy, had his front bar replaced when he was forced up a curve by a truck that didn't see him, so maybe that's why it's different, because it genuine HSV have seen it in the flesh and looks the goods.

    Cheers Alex

    I got those big F off air horns now and I will have a custom in car camera system set up in the next 2 weeks so now there is now getting away.

    Unfortunally that bloody front bar has been replaced twice at a cost of about $1800 each time to the insurance, both bars were purchased genuine off HSV and it is still the same look as the one I got when brand new. The last bar took weeks on end to arrive after ordering so I presume they are not a stocked item.

    Here is a 2005 model with the same front as mine on a XUV. I dont think there is many of the VZs around.

    Cheers mate. The wheels I am working on. I have some others but getting tyres are a bit of a challenge to find at the right price. Big, wide and chrome buggers

    Re: Avalanches and other AWD Holdens Pics and Qs

    Sorry Listy ,
    but you're right .

    What threw me was the VZ's tow hitch point .

    never realy noticed the difference it on the VZ model before .

    Then after much review
    XUV VZ

    XUV VY11

    XUV VZ

    I concede .

    I knew there were 2 different bumpers ,
    but hadn't picked up on the differences .

    Funny thing is i almot bought a VZ model twice ,
    but didn't like the bonnet .

    Im was selling the ute, so I pulled all the good stuff of it, to put on a monaro. But now with a looming seperation at home I need some cash for a new pad, so the ute and blower must go. Im keeping the heads,cam and other bits just in case.
