Fire as in burning not getting fired from a job cause you own a troopy
I peaked early in the mid life crisis. Sold the bike to buy this 5 years ago. Been trying to find a tow bar big enough to pull the Starcraft ever since.
i got a bag of black wheel nuts somewhere here from a prado but not sure if they are smaller than a 200 s nut given there are 6 per wheel rather than 5
I'm actually surprised that Toyotas have such a crap seal in the air box, caused by bad design of box or just under sized seal on filter ?????
Bit pricy I think but you don't have to buy their air filter do you ?????
When I do mine I always look in the intake for dust, sort of white glove trick and vacuum out the collection of bugs and stuff in the bottom of the box.......... a simple thing to do and how I caught my Colorado air box had split.....

Well there you go, now you can go and get bogged, might be better to do it up here, no lockdown, better weather and I can pull you out with my 184Kw Jeep, thats 246.75 HP............... saves you having to get out the sand spikes or bury the spare................... don't forget to pack spare batteries for the WiFi in case they go flat ......................... or I can I lend you my Ford shovel we can sit back and have a beer while you cook the fish on my barbie........... Actually something to look forward to................ or maybe you can sizzle some Murray Cod on the plate near Echuka if I can ever get down that way..........
....... If the Mine Truck was around we could use it as a viewing platform to watch the sunset, Bruce won't mind.
Now the facts are plain ,Jeep invented the original 4x4 system,didnt see any Toyos running around beaches on D Day !Jeeps 4 wheel drive system in the WK2 GCis still recognised as the best on the market ,combine it the 8 speed ZF auto , .!! A few weeks ago had a near new LC200 V8 diesel tailing me out of Emerald to Rocky going to the coast,both actually towing same J17.58 OB poptop.On a number occasions he tried to pass me on passing lanes up hill without any success.We had to stop for a huge mining dump truck on a flat bed ,young guy hopped out of Toyo and asked me what motor in the Jeep ,he said only time on his 6 month trip he couldnt pass somebody.!I might add I was in the 2010 WH GC 5 speed ,however does put out around 620 NM !

The details are on the Specification Form which they issue for the compliance plate, a Government Document so must be correct...... I just know its fast and like @BJM if I'm towing very few will get past me even going up hill, unless I want you too..... I don't really know what it has at the wheels but it will accelerate up hill with Big Mal behind could be scary if you let it........................ Old Navy mate had a V8 oiler in his Sahara, it was a lovely beast and I would gladly have it in my shed.
