    Diesel mileage and rego costs swayed me a bit.. Petrol bill working it out will not change to much once rego and diesel milage not being paid.

    Owners manual says avoid deeper than 700 mm river crossings but snorkel later this year

    Yeah right then winch bumper and winch then roof rack then spotlights then CB then 2.5 lift then big tires...

    Here I go again ...

    Yeah I think they look alright all done up with ARB gear and decent mud tyres fitted. Different. Bit of a bugger they don't come in a diesel version. Not a fan of big 4wd petrols doing the kms I do (unless it's a stinking big V8)

    Possibly, I've always thought they're petrol only in NZ. Could be wrong.

    Heaps of them in Canada and the US
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    I like them. Be looking forward to some reports on its trips into the rough stuff. Certainly seem a capable vehicle but enough comforts to keep the family happy
