What Do You Drive?

I have a SWB. This is the most popular type of patrol in my area . LWB is too long in the mountain and forested areas. Hard to maneuver.

Here's my old banger, a 98 2.8. GU, 250.000 clicks and still going great.

We have the 1995 GQ2 ST LWB TB42 Auto dual fuel. Seven seats to fit the kids and all their gear in, power windows, velour seats etc for a little bit of luxury, auto for long, lazy cruising. Bought for a weekday taxi for the kids, and in the process of becoming a weekend play toy as well as it was designed for (this things been pampered all its life and never left the road, but thats easily fixed)!

My current drive is a 1990 GQ Cab Chassis currently receiving a trans transplant, also my son receintly bought an 83 MQ with an 86 3.3td and 5 speed fitted. It had been rolled onto it's side out in the desert and has a bit of body damage and a few other things to repair. It will be used as a workhourse by my son so he dosen't have to pinch mine just to get firewood (It also keeps his SS off the dirt roads when working on farms) and I have the use of it while mine is out of action

Agree with just about everything you say above Rosco but since I took posession of a D40 Navara for work I've learnt two things that I just can't do without any more:

1. Electric windows - it's now sooo difficult to get good airflow through the vehicle when I want it.
2. Electric mirrors - It's an absolute PITA having to get out of the car, walk around to the passenger side, adjust the mirror to where you think it needs to go, walk back to the driver's side and get in, check the mirror - DAMN it's still not right, get back out of the car, walk around.................................

PS, the Navara mirror don't have the "home" position if they get knocked and gives me the absolute you-know-whats getting them back in the right possie.

So electric windows and electric mirrors are now on my "essential" list. Call me soft but I don't care!!

Soft

You youngins have been spoilt rotten, by technology. lolol
