  3. Hi Mik,

    Had a few 45s and a 40, with my 40 i could watch the needle go down on the petrol guage heaps of power but the fuel useage was just too much, i have to say that i now own a 80 series Landcruiser diesel and its the best rig i have ever had and would not part with it.

    If you are looking at all them modifications you will be spending a lot of time and money with an Engineer getting Mod certificates, if you get something like the Toyota 80 series 1hdt turbo you will have a rig that will do everything you have mentioned and more without going near an engineer errrrr maybe for aftermarket front seats but thats all, or like some get a trimmer to alter the standard ones that come with the truck.

    Any way mate good luck in what ever you do i am sure you will have fun doing it and i am also sure you will spend lots of money.

    Cheers

  4. Hi

    Get a diesel mate, there is plenty of diesel out there and if you purchase a 4x4 most will have an extra tank taking you over the 1000km mark between drinks, most always take Jerry cans with them anyway just incase of a ruptured tank and other events.

    I have never had any problems with locating fuel on my travels the biggest problem is breakdowns, you will have more chance of getting repaired owning an older pre computer electronics rig than an new model, i guess if you are going remote you will be set up with a dual battery rig always take a spare one with you as a solenoid or microprocessor can go at any time.

    I have got a lot of Kms behind me and a lot to come so if you need any help i am here and i am sure that these guys in this club have a load of Kms behind them also and would only be happy to help in any way as a trip with your son is special to say the least.

    Cheers

    Derek
