You will need an GVM upgrade to be legal won't you? or do have too much crap in my van?

 

[The Goodwins]

Hey Hey Hey...who's van @DRW ........

 

[DRW]

Hey @The Goodwins actually I'm not being a smart arse (this time) but my van fully loaded is over 2 tonne, if I had a Prado with 2 fuel tanks full and say a driver with a wife and 2 adult kids with a fridge in the back next to the weber and some stuff on the roof I would be over loaded. I was actually thinking seriously of a Prado till I did the sums (weight sums and of course the over priced price tag) and that's why I went for a Jeep, not bacause I loved them I can assure you (I do now)

 

[The Goodwins]

Would never be intentionally rude to you @DRW just having a lend sister just purchased a 2014 model....guess I am stuck with you lot....LOL

 

[DRW]

hahaha @The Goodwins no offence taken or meant, I just recon Toyota are taking everone for a ride that's all

 

[cruza driver]

Do you need the Fox Wing as awesome as they are?

Why are you replacing the platform instead of keeping the old one?
Just asking

 

[Smergen]

Man... I don't even know what half that stuff is, what it does, or how much it costs... but damn... I want them! This place is ridiculous like that... you see everyone else's toys and go... hmmm... I need/want/aspire to that...

I'm really going to have to get the Boss to make sure she sits on my wallet whilst I'm surfing on here.

Can't wait to see the new wheels though @The Goodwins....

 

[dagree]

hmmm... I need/want/aspire to that... @The Goodwins....

@Smergen ..... When talking to the Boss the only two words to be spoken should be "WE Need"

@Smergen ..... When talking to the Boss the only two words to be spoken should be "WE Need"

Very true @dagree ... was in the 'rat following up the brake controller install... managed to call in to Jayco whilst there... And yep... managed pick up a few things that we "needed".

 

[White knuckles]

Side steps, side rails, Gps , cargo barrier and love my underbody protection but depends on how much off road u do. I folded my original steps on the fishermans ? Track at straddy and my side rails have saved the car in more ways than one and I'm not talkin off road!.

 

[dagree]

Recovery points and the standard recovery gear.... For pulling others out that is

 

[Kenshi123]

Nice one mate. Following this thread. Looking forward to seeing the new beast.

 

[The Goodwins]

So quote is back for the extra's from TJM......$8500 holy crap......HAHAHAHA.... I am a dead man.......and that's with the foxwing ditched.......HAHAHAHA...I am so dead....

 

[The Goodwins]

On a more positive.....and somewhat life endangering note......I JUST BOUGHT A CHAINSAW............

Next purchase.....Tourniquet......plasma replacement packs...........possibly an epirb.....

 

[chartrock]

Good luck Mate. :hail:

 

[DRW]

good greif man, I was talking to a mate about them only today (they used to be customers of ours in a past life) and were discussing how the mining down turn is hurting them, looks like I know there strategy of fixing the bottom line :lol: Oh well if you buy a Jeep you can afford it all and still have some change (and tow legal) "man car" pffffftttttt

 

[cruza driver]

Do it, its only money

I love spending other peoples money its much cheaper that way

 

[dagree]

Only $8,500 ?????? Time to add more to the list
