It's no big deal, a youngster who hadn't really thought it through..
It'll find a good home eventually.

Was freighted from Katherine to Gippsland, to the hospital where one of our house sitters worked. Lifted onto the back of his ute with a hospital forklift. Lifted off the back of the ute with housesitter’s tractor(front end loader) & put into a shed at home. Once we were back home there was this great heavy lump of metal sitting in the shed with no way for me to move it. I never used any of the parts & eventually several years later convinced a neighbour to lift it out of the shed with his tractor & put it into a scrap metal skip when we were clearing the place up to sell. It was a heavy white elephant.

Ok, cool. I guess a standard engine crane is no help with such a heavy diesel motor!
I've also heard of horror stories of having to leave the broken down Patrol in the middle of the outback 'cos the recovery cost is lot more than the value of the vehicle.

I'm looking forward to the days of driving a converted motorhome/bus around the country. It won't be anytime soon for me. :D

You can only get 4 bottles in a ZD30. Gotta be a better way.
