Indeed! This is technically a Taiga, rather than a Niva. These were brought in by Dairy NZ I believe in exchange for butter with Russia haha. Roughly 300 (don\'t quote me on that) were cut down into single cab flat deck utes, with the chassis extended and leaf springs on the rear. This was road worthy and regularly used till 09, but after that, I found it lurking in the shed so thought I could have some fun. Last time I checked it only had 45,000k\'s on it too. Might be a keeper! I\'ve managed to break various parts, a CV was fun ha, but it\'s put up with a good thrashing!
This was how I managed to break it; got stuck, put in centre lock, gave it the beans, saw it doing this, thought it looked cool, till bang, haha no drive no more :L
