WT:

Flares are steel
Has dash with flappy bit in the centre
Has better offset standard wheels
Different grille

The flares are the easiest way to tell tho.

WT= Wide track
NT= Narrow track.

as above. the flares tell the story.if the flares step out about 2 inch than its WT. those wider flars cover a wider diff or tyres sticking out

Thats true for shorties, but the LWB was available as NT until 94 in the form of a maruti.

i think thought the only true way to determine a nt to a wt is the position of spring hanger mounts, flares wheels and body parts are all interchangable you could go by years but even then it can get a bit funny i recently found out that the first narrow tracks around 88 i think have plastic flares, i think if its a swb and after 1990 you can gaurantee it will be a WT, lwb however seem to get a bit funny once again with maruti and other variations

x2 Check the spring hangers NT under the chassis. WT mounted outside the Chassis

Was there such an option?

Not as far as I am aware. They stopped production of the leafy in late 95 I beleive.

It must have been old stock, or she's full of shit :D

There are subtle detail differences, and you have to know what to look for. Here's a pic that may help:

^^^^ ahhh.. so NT come with a passenger side mirror while WT dont eh!


could also check out the previous topic on this... can be found here...
http://www.auszookers.com/index.php?nam ... pic&t=6138

but as was mentioned.. the REAL difference is in the spring position.. the rest is all just cosmetic... (not counting xfer/diff ratio-which if you need to know the difference, you will have to read on further 8) )

and.. Drover-sierra variants are here...
