Good price! ........ Delete that .......Very good price!
Registered? Private sale?
Roof rack & Carsales logo suggest an owner between Telstra & yourself?
Edit: I really like my Black Ducks.

Purchased private from an electrical contractor. Just updated to a new vehicle. Registered he purchased from orix I thinks.
Gear box seems a bit sloppy on selection in the middle. Ie moving 2nd to third? Any ideas?

I don't recall my gearbox feeling sloppy, but was aware that selection was not as 'precise' as I had been used to when I first got it. It's not the fastest gearchange i've ever had, generally slower deliberate changes work best. I find it 'normal' now. It may be a comparative thing , depending upon the gearbox you have recently been accustomed to?

Nice buy mate. Looks very clean.
As for the gears, do they select nicely? If so it's possibly just the pivots showing wear on the gear stick. Cheap part from eBay, not sure about install though..
Looking forward to the build..

thats a great price for a turbo 4.2, good on ya mate the winch should just need a service, i used to work for telstra up there and the winches hardly ever got used and had plenty of exposure to the elements so it should just need a good cleanout, good luck with it mate.
