    No more than any diesel. Everything is pretty basic to fix.
    It gets plenty of use in the family

    Another outing with the 6ARC proved it was worthy of taking goats at 450 yards. This time with a better scope, still just using the hold over method so nothing fancy.
    Very impressive little caliber!

    We had a FJ40 6 cylinder diesel flat deck years ago.

    Was a beast. I did quite a bit of rust work on it and then it was fully re sprayed. Same colour as yours.

    In all the time that we had it I think that it might have had a clutch. Thats about it. Good old honest machines.
