I met a bloke at Toolangi in a GQ shorty chassis with dark grey GU cab and Navara tub, what a ripper little bus that was.
He was driving with a fella in that Kermit green GQ shorty with GQHOON plate from memory?

Mine are 5 stud toyots, about $100 each, I think the regular 6-stud jobs are cheaper.

That doesn't sound good, I would have thought that if your thermostat had gone you'd boil it and would know about it due to overheating pretty quick.
It makes sense though, it can't be a coincidence.

I have factory 78 series lockers, they are an electric servo job and do the job fine although they're not totally waterproof.
I bought the troopy new, and the Locker option was about the same as the cost of fitting ARB lockers.
Unless you're talking about buying a new truck, buy an air locker.
