I need some help! ATM I have a 75 series cruiser ute with all the goodies on it ie air lockers,turbo alot of $$$$ spent on it etc etc.... It is a great ute and has caused no dramas in the last couple of years I have owned it, I really like the new patrols and would love to have coils under me rather then the old leaf springs, do I sell the cruiser and buy a new patrol or keep the cruiser?

don't worry about peer pressure
all else being equal... ask to drive someones patrol that is at the same level of mods you would do, and then see if you like it.
simple as that.

if your talking a new ute, its a lot of money to start again.. you wont get anything like what your 75 is worth...
stick with the 75.. arent there coil conversions around for them things?

You would loose too much money selling the Cruiser and buying a Patrol. I'm with Bogged, coil the Cruiser.

keep everyone happy. Keep the cruiser chasis, chuck a nissan body on it, throw zooki running gear on it and stick a range rover badge on the front. This way you cant go wrong

If you have the money to start over on a new truck then go for it! But it sounds like your cruiser is already well sorted.

Thanks for the replies, I drove a friends Gu coil cab and found it to be nice and car like inside but the cruiser killed it in the power department, plus the money was to much to get it up to the standard of the cruiser.
