    So I guess I should tell you all a bit more about myself and my rig, have only owned it for about a month, when I started looking I considered I had 2 options, spend a bit on a car (6 or 8k) which would mainly be to get my kids around on the weekends and times they spend with me and 12 to 15 on an adventure bike as my main form of transport or shelve my bike plans for now and spend more on a car in better condition. I found this one locally through a mate who knew the bloke that owned it and how fussy he was. When I heard about the list of accessories on it and saw the condition it was in I pretty much decided I had to have it. Has 2"lift, ARB air lockers front and rear, black widow drawers, cargo barrier, long ranger fuel tank, snorkel, extractors aswell as upgraded suspension and other bits underneath. 350k on the clock sounded reasonable for its age out of the diesel so I decided it would be a good investment in getting wherever I wanted to go . The roof rack is borrowed from a mate until I get one of my own. The only things I need to sort for it is whether or how much I can improve the fuel consumption and to get a manual for it for the time being. Fuel usage has been around 14. 5L to the 100 km with the roof rack on and as low as 12.6L to the 100 km without. I am thinking these figures are probably pretty reasonable but would like to know if there is anything I can do to improve it further?
    Cheers. Phil

    I'm thinking those fuel figures are pretty damn good mate........ Someone else may have a better idea.


    Welcome aboard and congrats on the purchase

    Welcome to the forum, mate. Nice Q, will get you anywhere.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.
