I did a Crossover trip in January, and at most times. my old green Terracan was the only non white vehicle!
As to the two Toyotas... I was usually at least 1 litre per 100 kms less fuel consumption and had heaps more power and torque and a MUCH better ride. The guy with the Troopy had traded in a Discovery 3 for it, and I think regrets it! Those things are primitive trucks! Turning circle like a super tanker, no creature comforts - not even cruise control! - and they rattle and bang their way around the country side.
I drove straight up the centre line on Big Red- the left hand one was chopped up so badly you would get all four wheels airborne at the bottom - on the first run, easy as, while the Toyotas and Nissans there on the day all struggled, nearly all failing, apart from one guy with a V8 Toyota, or maybe, Lexus, who got up on his third try from memory. A guy in a 100 series turbo diesel got up after at least six or seven goes.
Yeah sure does. Tomorrow arvo i'm going to have a proper go at getting it off. Its got the 7 quarter turn fasteners under the air dam holding it on like the 12/13 wk2s.
