I'll second that. I used to subscribe, but don't any more as the magazine is now nothing more than a means of advertising for their pet brands.

I had one for a couple of years and found it fine for general use. Never had a problem

I found that on the sand you had to get the revs up enough for the turbo to kick in for it to work well,...

Roady,

My wife took a couple of snaps of the spare wheel carrier.

I should explain that the ute is a new purchase and the carrier came with it as is. I do aim to clean it up and give it a lick...

Macca,

Many thanks for that.

All the best

Aha,

I'm new here, so this is the first time that I'd seen the magazine and as it's November.............................

Great magazine.

The gearbox has been reconditioned recently, so that's all good and apparently fitted with an upgraded fifth...

Just a quick post to show off my new (to me) ute.

2001 GU Extra Cab TD42T.

The photo is as...

Will check it out and see if I can do the same.

Cheers

Many thanks for the warm welcome.

I collect the truck tomorrow, so will be able to take some pictures to post.

I've already been trawling through the posts here as I have some plans for the...
