What did you buy today

I'm loving it so far, getting used to all the driving "safety" aids, it just takes an open mind and a slight change in driving style. You'd have to try pretty hard to crash it.
I plan on getting my moneys worth out of these 20" tyres and then when it's time for a new set probably change to a set of nicer looking 18" with mild all terrains.
This is the Mrs daily and will do some caravan trips and touring. It is not replacing the Patrol, it's not even playing the same game as my Patrol.
Value for money in the current market you cannot go wrong, and if you plan on keeping a new 4WD for a long time the Isuzus are the only option with a long term tried and tested engine in the 4JJ.

When I fitted the two singles & centre console (from an ST) into my DX (& removed the 1.5 bench seat taking it from a '3 seater' to a two seater) I took it to VicRoads as was supposedly required. Lady there looked at me kinda strange, but came out, stuck her head though the window & said (& I quote) "Yep, that's two seats". When I asked for proof that the seat change had been inspected by VicRoads I was told that it wasn't possible because they don't record the number of seats on the rego certificate. In short they say you should have them check it, but it's only meaningless words.

Yeah i think it only matters if the variant didnt come like that. As the GU Ute came as a 2 or 3 seater it probably doesnt matter,

I am looking at a GVM Upgrade and Lift fir the Y62 now and am advised by OnTrack that if i want to fit out the back now and remove the 3rd row seats prior to the lift then the Engineer would be obliged to Engineer it as a 5 Seater moving forward rather than a 7 Seater. If i do this i have to remove the seat belts as well and can not sell it in the future as a 7 Seater. Not sure i care but am chewing over that now.

@mudski do you have the 3rd row in your GU? Did your Engineer comment when you had yours Engineered? I think Matty might have to grab the rear row seats for the GU when we finally get it transferred. Will he need them in for RWC?? Surely Not?
