Re: LN65 Wellside Lux - what is it worth?

PM me if you looking for a capable bush truck and this suits.. will flick you a text so you can check it out first of course.. would suit hunters nicely with the removable tread deck lid on the back of the wellside (makes great shooting platform)

Might consider swaps for reg'd / wof'd stationwagon

Re: Thoughts on Diff Lock ?

if they are setup up correctly and shimed to the right clearance , a lockrite should only make a light clicking sound when tight cornering . and an occasional bang to release drivetrain wind up .

Re: Which GPS to buy?

Whats the IGO Primo like? I like the geeky 3D feature how it elevates hills / contours etc. Gimmicky but cool

That would be ideal if you could load something like Gary Turners Maps on to it (anyone know if you can?).
