Well done for seeing the light

If you get a 40 it is also worth having Power steering and front disc brakes (might as well get one that is already certed for the lot).
Also main issue you will have to look out for is rust. Otherwise parts are cheap and plentiful

Good luck in your hunting.

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

If you knew which one I would go there tomorrow...
I'm guessing was on a truck on its way when Coxsy saw it.

theres a 40 tub with rollcage formed on it (tacked only) diffs with lux or similar spare diffs, as well as spare pumps etc sitting at Outback 4x4 in Ngaruawahia. Cant remember if there was a donk as well. Good project for someone who's got some time and energy.

Why the change? you can't beat coils and if you want power just chuck a tdo5 with 15-20psi on your safari and you'll have more than enuf power.
Can't beat the sound of an 8 going full song though
