not surprising, had four customers in the last two weeks say similar things, nothing against the actual ute, just not suitable for there applications anymore, one guy traded his in for a live axle hilux, another is looking at a defender.

"Caterpillar" called, they want their dozer blade back!

On a lighter note, had a wee play in the mud, nothing broken, didn't try hard enough and one error put us back to 3rd place for the day.
