IMO low roofs look better. Other people may prefer the high roofs though.

As far as trips go, don't worry about not being able to keep up, we are pretty cruisy, and its about having fun, so if ya get stuck, we pull you out. No drama. Thats why its good to go with Wopass, with his HUGE winch, he's the official GQ Rescue Service :lol: :lol:



HERE HERE ! :D i like being the rescue man :D ... maybe i should get a T shirt with that on it :wink:

A guy down the road from me imported a 91 Safari, 3" lift, 35's , beadlockers, adj. panhards etc and had it on the road for $6k from memory :shock:

Only had 125k on the clock, and looked as though it hadn't even been off road. Shame he didn't put a snokel on though because its been sitting on the side of the road with a hydrauliced motor for the last few weeks :roll:

Will have to get up your way when we get back from oz, although I'll have no holidays owing or money left :roll:

Came up with the bright idea of buying another truck to thrash about on weekends to save the Safari a little, only cost $1500, just needs a bit of a tune and I'll be out there :D
Just a shame its only radio controlled :roll: Must stay away from trade me :evil:
