V8 Troopie picture

Nice

Hope it still has the same dash..:-)

Does it come in diesel with front and back springs ? :))))))

I Like it and I want it , wishful thinking , but I like the way it has retained it's Troopie look along the side

Phil,
Not sure where that pic came from but obviously looks like an impression rather than just a plain pic. Seeing as though the ute photo's we've seen look similar (everything from the firewall back unchanged) I'm sure this is it.

The Motor show was supposed to have the new model there, someone must have been and taken pics?!?!?!?!

Would love know the facts on the motor. So far we've heard between 4.2 and 4.5l and between 150 odd and 200kw.

C'MON who went the show and have you got pics!!!

Matt

Those tyres wouldn't pass a roadworthy

Phil-

I got some good photos of the new ute at the Brissy Motor Show last night.

If you post your email I'll send them to you.

Well Phil,
I can sort of live with the Gay Mardi Gra's Prado bumper bar as long as it has live axles and the much publicised 4.5 litre turboed V8.

Geoff

Looks like a Ford Courier grill and 99 Pajero lights........
But if its got the live front end and 200kw of turbo diesel, I wouldn't give a hoot what it looks like as even this one eyed Nissan fan would take a closer look when it gets to the Yota yards. (Dual cab for me if available)

Trevor.

Looks great!!!..............just like last years model lol. Onya toyota just take em little steps lol.

But what about the driveline???? The pissy little axle flange studs, the weak gearbox which can't cope with the present engine, wheel studs, diffs, and your excited about a turboed V8 . The thing needs to be rebuilt from the ground up if hp is to be increased dramatically.

Cheers Axle.

OK Guys,

Thanks to Cruiser for taking some shots at the show. You can see his handywork in the Photo Gallery on my rig profile.

Cheers

Wonder what Nissan will do now, if this thing is gunna be as good as they recon,,

also is it out in the States yet ?
or is this a world wide release ?

Cheers Mate

From what I've read, it seems as if someone in Toyota deserves a medal and a seven figure cash bonus at Christmas time.

A live axle'd, split rimmed, hose-outable, factory 4 door with a diesel powerplant that is actually capable of safely overtaking or towing without any modification. Absolute GOLD. A 4.5 CRD V8 will make good torque BEFORE the turbo cuts in, unlike these tiny lawnmower motors that need to be spun up before anything happens. It'll sound good while it's doing it too.

I suggest that in a few years these will be the only new 4x4 worth buying.

Anyone want to buy a fully kitted out 100 series?;-) Never bought a new car in my life on principal, might make an exception here.

Thanks to Matt for taking the pics and Muddy for posting them.

Great to finally be sure what it's going to look like. This looks like almost the exact same vehicle posted here afew weeks ago. With what looks like no mods from the firewall back, nearly everything will bolt straight in from current model also :-))

Can't believe the Tojo guys couldn't give KW/Nm figures! Holding out for sure, but why?

My only complaint is the loss of the best overbonnet view you could want (bar a rock crawler). Can't fit the V8 in without widening the guards I suppose.

I have similar opinions to most re new cars but this thing might just have changed my mind. 'Fraid Brunswick has lost my business also! This thing will haul ass. Can't wait to see what the output figures are, then how much can be added with chip and exhaust...... wonder what it sounds like given a boot full. Think I'd have tried to bribe the guys on the stand to start it and stomp it just for this purpose ;-)
