G/day everyone, i am having trouble getting pics on. They keep coming up as attachments, anyway here goes. This is the bogged on an island in the middle of a river crossing. I put the hubs in before crossing, but my mate unbeknown to me clicked the passenger side out while i wasnt looking. Thought he was putting it in. Bit of a panic until i woke up what was going on, as there was some heavy rain coming and that crossing floods quite bad. As i said in my intro i am going to sell the ute, i have been offered a wagon with a 6.5 conversion.

Thanks for the comments. Is there somthing i am missing with the 6.5 conversion. Maybe a tubo might be the way to go. Its a really sweet motor but doesnt like the hills with a trailer behind. I have been looking at a 95 GQ wagon, a 97 GQ ute and a tttttttroopy (wash my mouth out) all with Brunswick conversions and all at the right price. As i am going to be out in the never never i need something reliable. What are the problems with the 6.5 conversion. Regards Hoods
