Hey guys,

I recently sold my Gq and upgraded to a might td42t 05 gu ute. I live in Kalgoorlie and found this one online so i paid a deposit and heading on down to Perth. Its done 160,000km seems to be in pretty good condition. Cost me 28k so im pretty happy about the price and its even coil rear end. Yay. I have just bought 3" lift, Beaudesert 3" exhaust is on its way and just a few days ago got some new rims an tyres for it. Got some plans for it put nothing to crazy. Going be set up as a tour truck with a little bit off aggressive off road thrown into it for good measure.

Like your thinking, sunnies have had their run but nothing out there to replace them with.
Look forward to the Mods,

Thanks for the comments guys. Fitted a beaudesert 3" straight through exhaust last night. Wow it sounds awesome! Goes a lot harder. Can't wait to wind the boost up. Hopefully Suss is here tommrow. Fit it this weekend!
