new toy

good question everyone else wants one! reasson is there is no river crossings here in the goldfields the work we do is mainly down extremely overgrown tracks or cross country and the snorkal would be ripped off in less than a day

factory diff locks? sounds alright especially if you are talking$nz

even the mighty I can only handle 1 at a time however in july I think we are taking out 2 utes and 2 shmbo which doesnt sound like fun

Can I have the 100 when you are finsihed with it?

Nah, nay, no. Old boy WANTS/WISHES me to buy him one - but I really want a fishing boat first. Actually Willem, my LC100 would be a good buy - one owner, only driven to Church on Sunday, genuine 101,000 on clock and only one dent (in the rear door going up into the Adelaide Markets). Even got $50 worth of diesel this week and I will own it in three months. It's mine and he's got the old rubbish ute (the one he's gone fishing in - LOL).

ruthI have driven mostly 75s but a fair few 78s including the other 2 at my present work place (01 models) what do you want to know about them? I have never actually measured consumption coz they are work vehicles rideis quite a bit smoother than the 75 and there is more room behind the seat the biggest problem we find with them is that the fuel lines could be better tucked away as they can be "modified" in cross country driving never driven a turbo but i guess that would be same except better they have never failed to do the job for me even after some decent punishment. dont believe the b@#$ written about the 5 stud wheels and the front diff coz it is just that and it hasnt stopped any that i have driven from doing the job

That's a good point about the fuel lines - we go cross country - got 5 stud wheels in the LC100 - was a bit cranky at first only because I had mags on the 60s and thought I could just swap them over. See how we go - gotta buy it first (after my fishing boat though).
