    Y62 .. adding up the $20K I've put into my 4.2 buys a lot of petrol and gets you a new vehicle versus a 10 year old one. But as I've said before I like the sound of a diesel and can pay for it... for a bit more longer... lol ...

    4.2s aren't bad, but still gutless even with a whole heap of cash thrown at them. Petrol power is the way to go!

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    I know my "gutless" TD42 still has more Kw (and usable) than my TB42 had
    and I can tow my Van up the hills near Donnybrook - unlike my TB42........

    Shane'o
    you say your after touring and towing a tinny...............
    well, a TD42 would do the job, not lightning fast - but it will do the Job - you WILL want more out of it the longer you own it
    3" exhaust
    bigger Turbo
    bigger or Better Intercooler
    upgraded Injector Pump
    all of these cost coin....... lots and lots of coin for a 4.2
    - which as some have said - is a Dinosaur (mind you the 4.3 in the Jeeps is the old Hemi 245 - from early 70's......) when your on a good thing "stick to it"

    it all depends on what you want to do with it, and how much your prepared to spend, and how long you want to keep it
    Tidy Whitey - 99 GU TD42Ti - Diesel Gas, (GUIV Turbo & Intercooler 8Lb boost), 33" Micky T's Baja MTZ's, Dual Batt's, Cargo Barrier, rear draws, HID Super Oscars, winch, Grinch & witch attached and more goodies to come
