Exactly.

They are good, but for some odd reason they just don't seem to have a current model out that would be suitable as a farm vehicle, same with Tussock and Gimp in Oz with the mining/drilling company...

And if the gears go?

My old Toyota van was pretty bomb proof. I did try to kill it and ran it for a year with no oil in the engine. Never over heated, never made any odd noises. Pulling the bung out of the sump nothing...

Indeed, and when the old ones fail and you have to do something is probably a good time to fit the lockers too. Would it be prudent to change ratios going to 33's on such a vehicle?

Big things with Safaris is rust in the roof. They are double skinned and vapour tends to condense between the layers and stays there till it finds it's own way out. Other than that the engine, drive...
