    Well I've been down the road of upgrading my truck over the last couple of weeks. Sold my 105 series cruiser within 12 hours of listing it (should've asked for more!) Still driving it until the guy picks it up this weekend. It'll be emotional.

    In the last two weeks I've thoroughly investigated almost all D/C utes, speaking to heaps of guys who drive them, fix them, and have test driven heaps and have come to the conclusion that new trucks are just poos. They feel so tinny and plastic coming from a landcruiser, and I truly fear I will break a new truck on my first off road excursion.

    Discovered along the way I'd sooner have a 10 year old truck with 150,000kms than a new ute so I've found an absolutely mint VX100 series and bought that. A 1HD-FTE engine idling is a sweet sound.

    Looks like a great way to impress your mates.

    Would rather own that 10 year old, 105 landcruiser or patrol GU 4.2 etc

    Josh, you should do a basic running thread on building your ultimate truck?

    From memory you did heaps to your last cruiser, will the new own get the same treatment?
