Hey Guys,
long time looking and finally made the leap and purchased a new to me 2012 17.56-2 OB. Made the upgrade from sleeping in a swag in back of ute to camper trailer now the big upgrade, the van!!!. Have only owned it a few weeks now and spent a few nights here and there with the family while we are getting it ready.
Done all the maintenance every new owner should do. wheel bearings, checked brakes, batteries, plumbing, wires/cables etc. etc.
Now is the time to enjoy!!!!!!
Pics will come!!!!!

hey Bluey,
Towing it with a 2014 hilux dual cab. hence why i had to look for a pre 2015 before the j-tech suspension made the Tare little bit more. ATM of my 2012 van is 2476. It tows pretty good. sucks the fuel though. but i still sit on 105km/hr.
