sit in one first - I can't fit in there - my knee gets jammed between the radio console and the steering wheel...

If you fit, they're a cool little truck

I bought one tonight.
I was fanging through Southland with Timotheus, chasing LN106s when we spied it sitting on the side of the road in Edendale. Apparently it'd been there for 2-3 weeks. I'd seen it myself actually, but stopped to test tonight and brought it home.
Will post pics tomorrow maybe?
2.4t 5spd.
Big ticket rebuild 4 yrs ago.
Manual hubs, snorkel, PTO, bullbars, Rebuilt LSD, A frame,
7 months reg and 2 months wof and 2/3 tank of diesel.
Evidently, they come fairly well equipped.
Pretty good nick from what I can gather.
Needs tyres.
Needs gearbox work, so I'm hoping it'll accept surf innards, but we'll see.
Should be a cheap summer offroader (is there such a thing?)

Would I have seen this around Cargill Street Dunedin? - If so looks like a good wee truck.

Yeah it sits on Cargill Street.
Took it out last night at 8.30 for its maiden with Timotheus.
I've swapped the 15" white spokes for 16 uglies with SATs which went well.
Needs a new fairlead and winch repairs due to mismatch and subsequent damage. Sod all, but will need doing all the same.
