Tires are like boobs, they always look big until you have played with them for a while, then you just want a bigger set.

Thanks mate yea it is a tidy one and alot of time and money has gone into this truck.

Also if people could just be aware of parts that could be getting sold around the wellington area that are this colour and also if a 3b diesel is being sold in the area can you check the code on the block because i no what this one was. Cheers

Was this on trademe not too long ago? Seems like a rather opertunistic theft. Its not like it had a v8 or anything that would stand out to a thief. Hopefully itll turn up soon but I fear it wont be in the same mint condition it once was :( :cry:

Just some more info on contact details if anything comes up:

You can give information directly to the police (because the vehicle is on their records as officially stolen).

It was is one of our suburbs under a tarpaulin"

Unless they decided to return it to Wellington! Glad it was found as it's not much fun when some a**hole decides that they have the right to take something that isn't theirs...

p.s. your new toys looks kind of interesting. Not what I was expecting ;-)
