    New bus required

    Hi all,

    Well it's that time again.... Car shopping time

    Due to an unfortunate meeting with a landcruiser ute, my patrol has gone to the land of the dearly departed..

    So I'm thinking its time to upgrade (?) to a GU... I'm on the hunt for something after about 2008.... The usual shopping list... Lift, barwork, etc...

    Just wondering if I still need to worry about NADS, and how to actually see whether the underbonnet stuff has been done.
    I've looked a a couple of vehicles in car yards and frankly... buggered if I know

    So if anyone knows of any hot deals then let me know I'm in Perth, but the car doesn't necesarily have to be.

    P.S. Anyone interested in a slightly secondhand '92 TB42E Ti for parts... or repair let me know.

    Cheers and have a nice day all..

    Simon

    Hopefully the Landcruiser came off second best.
    2005 GU IV ST 3.0. Snorkel. Roof rack. Awning. Spots. Welded I/C. Dual batteries & VSR. UHF. Barn door hinge extension. Roof top spot lights. Rear drawers. 2" lift. NADS. EGT and boost gauges. Trans temp and water temp gauges. Provent 200 catch can. Rear ladder


    And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.

    Not supposed to work like that. If you are going after 2005 GU4 you shouldn't have to worry about NADS. If you get a 2008 as you plan then you don't need NADS. Take the normal precautions and get history if you can. Be aware that when advertised 'never been off road" it might have been towing a van or camper round Australia. Depending on how it was driven and looked after this might be OK or maybe not. All the best with your purchase.
