Was at Dartmouth the other day and seen these,

Looks like a troopy and a four door version which kinda looks like the old prado.

Cheers Den

Is that the wider front panels to fit the V8 diesel?

Post by **GQ4.8coilcab** » Sat Mar 24, 2007 6:48 pm

if the troppy had coils on the rear, its got the good motor and no IFS upfront that would be

but leafs are the best for weight i geuss

Front guards look like theyre off a 60 series.

Ferntree Gully Toyota has them in the yard.
4.5 V8 Diesel, leaf rear end, coil in the front with solid live axle.
great truck without the bells and whistles!

The rear one is looking a bit like a GQ Patrol. Mabee they are getting the idea. :lol:

you would think that after 22 years they could work out how to make the troopys doors fit the roof line without that stupid fill panel that slopes inwards

n the blue one looks like a early 90's prado/bundy

The wagon looks like a cross between a GQ and mid 80's Paj.

FUGLY, but I reckon it'll look a sh!tload better with a bit of lift and some decent rubber under it.

The Troopy looks kinda like some fat fark couldn't fit in the back so they put him on the rrof and squashed it

Saw one of the new utes on the road yesterday too with the v8 diesel. Didn't realise they were bringing out a 4 door troopy but I reckon it looks awesome!

Why is the wagon cheaper than the troopy? Dosent make sense.2700 for factory lockers is good.The 4 door would make an excellent 4wd with factory lockers some good suspension and tires

Post by **Slunnie** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 4:24 pm

Post by **J Top** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 5:12 pm

No thats just the drop in the front arms, they need that to clear the tie rod

Where have you been hiding?? they have looked like that above the door for over 20 years

Post by **midi73** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 9:13 pm

I reckon the wagon looks good, has great potential to look real tuff. I reckon the ute would be the same. I agree with above post that the troopy doesnt look real good.
Shame they are not coil all round.

The torque sounds quite low compared to other engines of similar displacement. I wonder how much this one is detuned and what the next release will bring.

WTF? A $61k truck & AC in a HOT country isnt even standard? I would have thought they'd get with the times by now. Even in Japan its all standard.

Post by **G_loomis** » Mon Mar 26, 2007 9:04 am

Off topic slightly...but been told that the new Patrols will not be a solid axle setup. Not even as an option either. But will just have to wait and see.

It's the passenger side radius arm that you can see.

4 door = tow rig

Would someone mind rear ending one so I can buy the wreck from the insurance sales to get the donk for my RV.......
