Patrol G60 engine

People to stop when the lights turns red would be nice. They seem to have green lights, orange lights, and dark orange lights. :-)
But as you say, everything is nice and handy though.

Bob,

No did not notice a Toyo engine but there are bound to be some. Tell your friend to ring Lance Swan on Tollfree 1800 882 996
This business is very professional with all vehicle stacked neatly up against the walls. Loose gear all inside under cover. The tidiest 'wreckers' I have seen for some time.

Cheers,

Tell your friend that he can purchase a 1hdft motor ex Japan for 7.5k and it will fit straight in almost-minimal wiring differences, then his motor is worth 2k atleast as is.
Guy in QLD imports them.

Forgot to mention, these 1hdt motors never turn out properly after rebuild, even if you use Toy parts in them, they always use oil after.
This comes from mechanics on www.lcool.org

Yes I agree Russell it's a very quiet place compared to the bustling cosmopolitan cities of the east coast. A great retreat for the older folk but not much to offer the younger people still interested in the vitality and joy of living.

Tony,
Yes I am in the market for a newer 4by but after reading the many posts over a 15 month period here on EO I am not so sure about upgrading. Even the mighty GQ Nissan and the 80 Series Cruiser have their fair share of problems. My old truck is all set up for camping and bush work and is very well built. I know every inch of it and every squeak is familiar and so are the oil leaks and water leaks. Sure, it does not have all the luxuries that modern vehicles come with but the overall aim is to go bush and savour the environment, not to sit in airconditioned luxury at over the speed limit belting down the highway waiting for the computer to go fubar(to quote Truckster).
These days my truck is a one person off road machine on account that SWMBO tends to want to stay at home and only come on occassional trips when it suits her.
So I am loath to trade up. Would take a while to disassemble all the add-ons and rebuild them into a newer vehicle. The only real drawback of the G60 is the fuel consumption. But with the trailer in tow I can carry 400 litres which would give me a 2000km range if I take things easy. Need a chequebook though to pay for the fuel :-)))))

Cheers,

Willem
