LeglessOne,
How long did the parts take to get here after you ordered them?. I heading off in one month , on two months leave for a trek through Queensland meeting a mate in Cairns then were doing the cape . I'm nearly ready just looking for a few more spares. My drive is a 2011 wk2 Laredo diesel with Uneek Bull Bar, Runva winch, Airflow Snorkel and Tradesman roof rack I'll be running Bridestone D697's 285/60/r18.

I ordered mine on a Friday night and by the time there was a bit of toing and froing about the hose they couldn't supply (time difference) all up took a bit over 2 weeks. I took the cheapest option for freight (USPS).

If you want to pay about 200 dollar you can have it here in 3 days via DHL I think it was.(still would of been half the price of local dealer)

I would order now if I was you because there have been some reports that USPS times have been erratic lately. Some guys on another site I frequent have said they have waited over a month for some stuff to be delivered from the date it was listed as despatched from the supplier.

Is there anyway to pull up the options for the Diesel that you know of? I go through the vehicle selection process and it automatically goes to the 3.6L Petrol engine parts.

Main reason for belt and bottom hose is sticks - you will be amazed at where the bastards can get if you happen to run over one and it rolls or breaks.

Got spare oil, air and fuel filters as well.

All up was $285 landed at my door.

Will buy more spares as the car gets older - at 10,000 k's I think that should cover any unforseen events.

Local would have been over $790
