Stef,
good on you and I hope the vehicle lives up to your expectations.
When you mentioned the accessories and changes you are getting with the vehicle it pricked my ears.
I am going to sell my old 89 troopy with the 6.5l diesel in it and after a
young fella (anyone under 30 is
young to me) had a drive of it he made the comment.
Hell my house mates 2010 Troopy is no where as good as this. He said it rides better, drives better, it accelerates as
well and hell can it climb.
Then I realised how much gear had helped the vehicle. When you drive them every day you get complacent and don't realise how good your vehicle is. An example of this is when I followed a BT50 out from
twin falls and watched how much they were thrown about compared with my old leaf springs it surprised me.
RA.

Thanks RA
It's been a long time coming - these things aren't cheap as you know but it's the base for us to start to build a great rig that if looked after (like most things) will last for ages.
