Yeah, but i'm still smilling :D every time I check the front end flex and dont break the crown wheel or bend another idler arm. I will pay for it self within a year or so of not breaking.

Cheers,

also whats the difference between a surf and the later modal runners

1.4runners are a pain in the arse you got to climb over everything to get to the back unless your a skinny prick but the good thing is that you can sleep in the back and the tail gate window never works :bad-words:
2.there`s a far bit of differance for little gadgets ect but apart from a ok turbo and a bit of crome the spare parts are exspensive and hard to get

I have found that spare parts are normally the same as a 4 runner or hilux. No more or less expesive than others.
