Thought this might tickle the fancy of a few members here.
Been window shopping for a long time, but couldn't pass the deal up, hopefully its all ok.
Its only a 2.8 turbo auto, but I may bolt the TD42T in eventually.

Sounds more like a wages comparison

All that sh#t aside
, very nice truck mate.

If you know someone who has a fully built TD42 Turboed one and is interested in a kidney or left testicle, tell them I would be keen to trade. They have to get is shipped and registered over here for me though, now wont that be hard.
Stupid australian laws

Hmmm, I just picked up a TD42 turbo last week to put in my GQ, but now I have this, it'll be kept and eventually put in (have a 2yr mechanical warranty so can give this motor hell till that expires).
After that, I'll do the transplant, but may do it sooner, so you may have a deal (I keep being told to grow some balls, so might be a good trade
Will post more pics when I get it home and start the mods.
My main intention is to keep it for 2 years here, then make the move to oz and take over as a personal import. If I had found one at a reasonable price 2yrs ago, it would already be driving around the Gold Coast

Mad plan mate... the 2.8 might surprise you and not die perhaps ?
A fully worked turboed TD42 infront of that auto
The Diffs would have 4.3 ratio's
Reckon that would feel just right with some 35's....
I could crap on for hours, really wish we had them here.

That looks very nice inside.
The 2.8 isnt that bad of an engine is it?
I reckon if you really want to drop the TD42 in it then sell the 2.8 as it is and get some money for it.
