and what happened? did you put it on its lid? :(
a new ST cab chassis cost $52k before you even start on mods and if you fit the best of everything sometimes twice after you brake it, then it not hard to spent that sort of money,and no i havnt rolled it just lots of damage from driving canyons and creek beds
ahh, that makes sense, i can see 30K in the ute, easily, id heard from someone it was that much no including purchase, but seeings as including purchase 80K is easy. and a very nice ute it is
