    Its a shame cos mine was very capable off road, very highly speced compared to other vehicles of the era and very nice to drive on road.
    Its just it was unreliable and every bloody part on it had landcruiser tax on it....same part on a hilux would be less than half dollars usually and sometimes not even a tenth of the cost.

    I replaced my entire TD42 for $1625 including freight for one with only 118,000km on the clock. The transmission system was insanely tough. Lacked a bit of power (kiwi understatement), ground clearance and turning circle.
