Wow - what part of OZ is this from?
Must be the part that has really tall 'roos, huh?
Doesn't look like there is one on the Sammy part, though.

HA - HA !
You really got me on that one, Matt !
In my defense, there is NO mention of the CL location. I saw the "nz" in the e-address and thought possibly it was NZ.
Although - while the steering wheels were not visible, I should have noticed that the truck was parked on the wrong side of the street...
And Bloomington, IL, is just up the road a piece from St. Louis (160 miles), on the way to Chicago...hmmm...

I'm guessing that that year Samuri had a separate transfer case? So he ran the driveshaft off the T4WD trans to that and then used the Samuri driveline?

1985 Tercel SR5 4WD wagon, 300K
1987 Tercel DLX 4WD wagon, 6-speed manual, 274K -- got this one running Jan. 2015 (had been sitting for 2 years); this has been my daily driver since 2016
This one is back up, with more photos... http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/1926045448.html
It is now minus the bashguard. I have a feeling it is the low mileage (154K) car I posted back in 2008 when it was intact. I was going to go look at it, but the owner never answered my emails as to location and meeting. The only one he sent said something about using it in a demo derby.

Ugly as it is...that beast would go anywhere...and think about the potential overall low range with the Tercel gearbox in EL...and the Susuki transfer in low range?

Yeah, I'm not sure I get this one. Take two good, uniquely applicable vehicles and "mash: them into one diminished less functional vehicle. I think sometimes the answers to stuff like this is: "because they have the skills to do so" sort of like those 4x4 Firebirds and IROCS I see around the country during my wandering. Why? Because they can...
