    Prospecting Rig.

    G'day, My 1989 Patrol takes me regularly beck and forth to the WA Goldfields to go prospecting with friends. It's and import TD42 and loves to work. For those that are interested it gets 12l/100kms loaded or unloaded or even around town. I guess it's not working that hard and revving it just makes more noise! Anyway, I look forward to reading some posts.

    Me too. If you don't know where you're going, it's easy to get lost 20metres in from a road!
