G'Day From Australia

[Reccymech]

Thought I'd drop by and say "G'day".

Been a 'Cruiser owner from way back:

FJ47,
HZJ75 - 'Troopie"

and a 'ring in'...Land Rover Series III SWB.

Now have been in the market for a F250, or a Dodge Ram. Here in Oz the prices are basically you have to sell a kidney to buy one, and that's pretty much pre 2000 and north of 400K Kms on the clock. Don't even look at something around 2010...eye watering prices.

So, having already owned 'cruisers, and drive them on-site at the mines I work at, it's pretty much a known commodity. Now, I gunna pull the trigger on a 200 series...well, probably around the new year. Already this week took the 'cook' to a Toyota dealership and lets say the response wasn't a negative.

That's good...right? Thought I'd chuck in some photo's of previous vehicles, can't seem to find one of the 'troopy'.

Thanks for posting!
So strange to hear about crazy prices on F250's...since they are everywhere here...and we rarely see our beloved Cruisers.

Keep posting as you go. Always great interest in what's happening in SlandCruiser Central (Australia!)

Cheers...& beers.

Been checking out some of the 'builds' on this forum. I like what I see. Will definitely be stealing...err...using the idea's for inspiration.
