An old 4by can do you proud , just like a newie!!.

Last weekend we trained a client with a one owner 40 series LX with only 112,000 km on the clock. She will be taking it across the Simpson in July. We all had a ball with a 25 year old 4WD that really was not quite run in. Smiles all round from the client and our training team. And it is a lot easier to fault find and repair than my 120 Prado. But I know which one I prefer for touring and around town

G'day,

They are around, and awesome value. My 60 series has 126k on it, but that doesn't stop the money flowing into it replacing bits that after 24 years have perished. But they are a heap of fun and so simple. Heading up to the Kimberley next week and did the Simpson last year in her, can't beat em. The long hwy runs are a bit tedious though.

Cheers,
Dave

You would do more than 6818.1818181818 Km a year just walking.. LOL

Hi Axle,
Good old truck and plenty of them still humping things around the country.I bought mine from a one owner(retired) who had just finished his OZ trip towing a 18ft van.It has clocked up 435k now and has been faultless.I have fitted a V8 diesel and f&r lockers for a bit more grunt and offroad ability.Still got plenty of years left in it and I own it.

Don’t you just love sentiment? Must be a blokey thing!

I wouldn’t take one of the bloody things if was given to me (compared to the comfort of modern 4wd’s).

I’ve pretty much lost track of what I’ve driven and owned over the last 48 years, but the one that still sticks in my mind was the Toyota Bundera when we were living in Tassie. Engine wise, it couldn’t pull the skin off a rice pudding.

But in the peat bogs of the Tassie high country nothing could match it with the long travel coil suspension and light weight.

It was also the only 4wd that came with a suspension seat as far as I can recall.

I’m getting a bit misty now. LOL

Regards

Kim

DaveB has a nice tidy 60, takes the 2 of them and their camper mant places....

I reckon that my FJ62 Auto is far too refined for the type of work that I give it.

Can't get the sand spinifex and grass seeds out of the carpet without an industrial vacuum cleaner and a lot of patient 'picking'.

Some of youse guys need to harden up a bit.
