G'day Shane'o welcome to the forum mate.
Welcome. My 2 cents, buy a new one and start saving for a duramax conversion. Thats my plan! :)
why??????? just buy a y62 or 200 series. much better interior, heaps of power standard and no teething problems.Quote:

4.2s aren't bad, but still gutless even with a whole heap of cash thrown at them. Petrol power is the way to go!

Shane'o
you say your after touring and towing a tinny...............
well, a TD42 would do the job, not lightning fast - but it will do the Job - you WILL want more out of it the longer you own it
3" exhaust
bigger Turbo
bigger or Better Intercooler
upgraded Injector Pump
all of these cost coin....... lots and lots of coin for a 4.2
- which as some have said - is a Dinosaur (mind you the 4.3 in the Jeeps is the old Hemi 245 - from early 70's......) when your on a good thing "stick to it"
it all depends on what you want to do with it, and how much your prepared to spend, and how long you want to keep it
Bring it on !Quote:
