We just clocked up about 4000 Kms between
Kununurra and
Broome mainly on those great corrugated roads and tracks around the GRR.
And beat this. NOT ONE RATTLE!
Thanks Toyota for building ours properly.

Oh and bye the way; A ripper of a trip. We are totally "
Kimberley'ed out" with 1281 photos and additional 50+ videos now to categorise and put in the photo album. And worth every bit. We were also lucky enough to be able to use the old SKI funds and do a week eco/fishing cruise on MV Diversity II. Wow

No need to figure - Just the luck of modern build and let the complaints show what is wrong manufacturing.
In any event I now know of two happy car owners.
Beats those we met with broken cars. Coolant trouble ( holden commodore!!!! - Windjana foolish boys ), flat tyres ( 4x4 hired qty 3 flats, Triton qty 1 absolutely shredded - no brains - no pump drove for
miles, qty 2 broken springs - took trailers on wrong track ).
Makes you wonder but at least we (you and I) can smile.

vk1dx most Jap vehicles are very
well built. My Jack has 146000 and the conly rattle is the back door if I forget to lube it every now and then.
