7. Avoid alcohol or drugs when handling firearms
Good judgement is the key to safe use of firearms.

Looks like a great way to impress your mates.
Would rather own that 10 year old, 105 landcruiser or patrol GU 4.2 etc

Josh, you should do a basic running thread on building your ultimate truck?
From memory you did heaps to your last cruiser, will the new own get the same treatment?

Why do they look so ugly in the front, don't look right without a winch bar on.
Would love to try one offroad next to my triton, brother in law works for Toyota and he got sent to the tech day where they test drove them and got the usual corporate brainwashing at an offroad track. They had each of the competitor Utes there to look at but funnily never got to drive them and compare

The intelligent manual transmissions really nice. Also the power modes a nice addition. Towed a digger up a steep hill today and put in power mode and it feels like your towing nothing. Tows like a champ on the road too

Disclaimer: I work for Toyota.
They are a big step up from the old ones. Off road they are second to none by a long long way. so much so I had to buy one myself. Even compared to old landys etc the new tech works wonders. Talk to Peter Richie from Natural Instincts 4x4 training, he rates the new one above all else.

I got one today. Not bad. As previously mentioned, massive step up over previous models.
It's nice to be able to go around a corner in the wet without having to grab handfuls of opposite lock for a change.
Road noise is way down compared to my old one too.199p and anderset20 like this.
