See there go putting words into my mouth again. :). It was the bitumen that did the damage to mine. It was because of the detroit that mine did it alot more than others. But still, my mates and a few others I spoke to did the same thing in stock form. I thought a bent house may have been the case, so I got another 1. But nope

And each to their own about coils vs leafs. The gq's must be rough as guts then :). But, a reverse shackle set up makes a huge difference to leafs.

Sometimes its as simple as buying apples..... some are good and some just arnt but you dont know till you bite into it.

You could buy 3 trucks all new and 1 will have some problems wont it, but if you can sort it out alls good but then sometimes for whatever reason it simly wont fix & it pisses you off untill you get rid of it...

Probably not going from a hilux. But if he drove an 80 I think he would be.
I would have bought a td 80 if it was me and had chopped into a ute. easy to do for well under 20g

(nevs comment was from me, i was on his computer) yes but then you need to find someone to do the chop, and all the bullshit that goes with it... i love cruisers, they look better, go better, etc. but patrol are just easier to get shit for in aus. they are cheaper to mod (except for drivetrain)
turbos are nice but i'd rather be blown
