No more Jackaroo (soon!!)

Post by DAZZ »

Well the time has come to join the dark side!! After 10+ years of Isuzu ownership I have brought a Toyota. We ordered a new 79 series c\chassis GXL with front and rear diff locks. Should have it in about 12 weeks. So the Jack is on the market and if I don't sell it private it will be traded. It is nearly all standard again and looks..... well...... ordinary!!!
I don't know if I've done the right thing as I've had a pretty faultless run with both my Frontera and Jackaroo but only time will tell.

Well I'm still a Isuzu owner. Cruiser has been delayed yet another month due to not enough production capacity or some other B\S. So now it's looking like October delivery.
Isn't there a global recession going on and no one can sell cars??
Beginning to like my Jack again so might just keep it. I need three 4x4s right!!!

Sort of went as far as I wanted to go with it. I seriously thought of SAS front but the missus put an end to those thoughts. Didn't think of an angle grinder as a precision tool.

Hey that will work. Jack now gone with a bit of a tear, good truck. But this cruiser is something else, only 500km so far and the power and torque is unbelievable!!! Now let the mods begin!!
