Thanks lilpigzuk,

Read the link and there were enough alarm bells going off there to wake the dead.

Thanks for comments about falling over / height - Im reading and learning (quickly). I prefer to keep the rubber-side down.

Someone on here used to own it

I would stay away from it unless you wanted to put a bit of work into it.

Thanks - it has gone into the 'nope' pile.

Cert is not legitimate, as steering setup would never have passed Cert here in NZ, dodge arse z-link setup.

this truck was sold only recently , interesting that it is up for sale again so quickly.

X 2 on that. Best to find a plain one (unmodified) and slowly do it yourself. Best to stay low on these narrow gauge ones too (limit the height to keep the Centre of gravity down. That being said they are great wagons for the investment, although finding a good one can be a mission...
