48 hours old cruiser crushed.

worth less than scrap metal value now
bet the driver of the toyota is a very happy person

It might skip a little..LOL

but I bet the bloke who didn't use the wheel chock on the hauler doesn't anymore.

Brett what warranty work is that?

"He looks after a lot of mining cruisers too that suffer numerous problems"

LOL no crap - it costs upwards of 20K a year to keep a mining ute going - Patrols have been tried but the costs are higher

the "problems" encountered in a mining ute have no relevance to the general public

of course the previos model had no intercooler problems - it didnt have one.

yes ive seen this "intercooler problem" we got a slide presentation of it at work

basically it went no more sticking high pressure hoses or gurneys into the intercooler intake or else this happens - then a slide of an intercooler with all the fins munted due to idiots giving them a close up gurney

and yes - saw a trashed transfer case with a whapping big hole in it. i asked if it had spat teeth out but someone had tried to drive it over a rock bund and smashed the transfer case out .

thought you said they were plauged by problems previos utes wernt
besides the intercooler which i explained most of those are known weak points in any cruiser
but funnily enough the 2 v8 vehicles in our direct fleet havnt suffered any of those problems 9 maybe the brakes they are disposable on mining vehichles) despite being UG vehickles and neither has our 4.2.

you really need to stop listening to mates of mates i used to have a mate that was a mitsibishi mechanic and guess what he saw plenty of mitsi problems

and as for the recall - sort of says it all i might stand corrected but what recall? might be as much truth in that as the rest of the post

do a search on recalls for the 4.5 v8 - i certainly cant find one

Because there has been no recall!!

Increased sump....Yeah Right!!
Being a Nissan owner you must be confused with the 3 litre Nissan shortened dip stick to increase the oil capacity fix??

Previous model?? What issue with the previous model??

Plenty of them out there, plenty of owners on here also and no real issues been reported other than oil usage for some engine for the first 10,000 km's or so which seems to settle very quickly and is attributed to rings bedding in.

Mates of mates second removed from your third cousin stories abound, come up with some facts straight from the owners mouth.

Obviously you have trouble reading parts of my post.....Or only read what you want to read.

Have fun.

"recall to enlarge sump"

direct quote and also untrue and from my experience has as much credance as the rest of your post.

but i dont blame you - your not the first to get his info from a "mate"
theres quite a few on here with the v8 cruiser and none are having the problems you claim

its not uncommon though

if you ask your "mate" he should also tell you he has seen plenty of the supposed bulletproof 4.2 with cracked heads --- what you donr here is they are nearly all from undergrounf vehicles with radiators 90% blocked with baked on mud between the A/C condensor and front of the rad or exploration vehicles with sticks through the radiator

Nice tone....get out more.

You would think I was insulting your family. It was directed at another post about mates of mates of mates.

"mate" is a Toyota Service Manager. I think I can rely on what he says more so than the "opinions" of some people.

But everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Where does you mate work? I get my Troopy serviced at Newtown Toyota in EVP.

I may know him.

Mines only 140000 km's old 2003 mod.

sooooo if you can rely on this really good info why is he saying there was a recall when there wasnt?

should add i have had quite a few run ins with toyota service managers and a can garantee you that is the last place i would seek reliable info.

just one of many cases i fronted the service manager wanting to why the hole in the radiator wasnt fixed. he started saying what hole? so i got him to pull the job card - sure enough it says - FIX HOLE IN RADIATOR he replied we couldnt see one
i told him it was the big black thing you can see through


then we got a ute back still with the fuel lines ripped out.
once again 'how did we knoew what to fix'
once again the job card is pullled out FIX TORN OUT FUEL LINES


I could go on and on and on but trust me when i say the last person you listen to is a toyota serviice manager and once again you have proven this

sercice managers trying to do the dirty


yet another one of my "experiences" with service managers

Good to hear from you Davoe.
Hope your keeping fit and well?

Where you at and what you doing these days?

Cheers
