If you pull it apart then everyone will stick pins in little 'Petefj40' dolls... but if you give it to me (or sell it to me, either way works
) then I promise to drive it, and maybe modify it a little in my spare time but not so much that I miss out on another years 4WDing then everyone wins
See, problem solved. well... apart from the other truck you would be left with thats a little mangled - but hey, thats a whole other problem and it can be solved with copious lengths of 40mm pipe, a bender and a welder

Thanks for the offer Steve. I'll keep it for those rainy shitty days. Driving it will remind me just how fast the other one is and how thirsty it can be. Mind you. When I drove the new one on petrol it was using more gas than the V8 uses
LGP is a cheaper option. And I WON'T be entering it in any events, that I promise.

Hi Pete,
How about pinching all the steel panels and roof off it you need for your toy, and replacing them with the glass parts, doing the soft top on it then selling it back off as a soft top

use the 1st one off road, now that you have started to trash it a bit.
use the 2nd one on road, do it up some more, put ya 35s on it and put another V8 in it.
then you will be the envy of all of us, as opposed to someone we wanna beat down for wrecking a perfectly good 40.
I'm sure there are plenty of others out there for parts.
you could probably sell the 2nd one and make a tidy profit, considering the condition its in.
please don't wreck it.
Ok.
I might keep the hardtop model and use it on the raining days. I could put 35's on it but I'd have to sort out the leaf springs first.
I do like the fact it's has LPG. It will be the cheaper to run than my other 2 V8's.
Keeping it original is kinda cool I recon.
THANK YOU
WE WILL ALL LOVE YA FOR KEEPING IT
