Daily driver, camping, 4x4ing but not hard core, towing a small tinnie (13 footer), im not to fussed with fuel consumption, but more conerned with repair cost that may come with some diesels.
I have found a 80 series that meets my needs, manual, 4.5ltr petrol, straightest/cleanest/stock thing i have seen, 167000 ks
12/97 GEE YOU
4.5lt Gas blower. Lots of mods to come.....all in good time.
What are the 2.8 gu patrols like?
You could get a 4.8 for less than $14k. I personally wouldn't touch a 2.8 but I wouldn't touch an 80 series either because of the age..
