[meatc]

I know you are thinkin SR% but have you considered other brands
like
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Cars/Ford/Courier/auction-318815478.htm
Just an example, Mazda, Nissan and mitsi are all similar. You get similar specs as SR5 including power, but less Ks and newer for less money.

Just a thought.

[vvilly]

Yeah i like the Xtra Lettuce and Tomatos (XLT), and would consider one but stuck on Toyota

[radar21]

so this is what we ended up with sorry bout the link but my photos are too big for ORE.

Hearing you on that, I was about to get an 08 hilux Dcab drizzle, but have now decided that I will get a V6 equivalent, and I have had diesel's for my work vehicles since the early 90's.

[vvilly]

well the way it is Grant i think it not a silly move will see when the beam axle, arb lockers, longfields, and 4.7l go in lol

[kbjj]

Cutting discs for Christmas is it?
