Here's a NZ 300 series cruiser (same vehicle as @cruiserpilot posted). Actually looks pretty decent to me as far as new vehicles go; certainly better than the abhorrent look of the LX version.

Now that I think about it, I like this 300 better than the Landcruiser Prado thing we have available in North America right now.

I hate all the plastic & painted bumpers that come on everything these days. What should be a couple hundred bucks to replace is now $3500 and they’ll write of a car for what is essentially just a damaged bumper. Damn throw away society.

You'll appreciate it if your kid is ever hit by a negligent driver.

Two thirds of the vehicles I own/drive have solid steel bumpers and no crumple zones. I hope drivers of vehicles like them are wiser and more careful. They both would cause a lot of damage in a collision.

Lol, I think those plastic bumpers would remove themselves pretty quickly

I have been seen with a 2x4 pulling the front bumper back out after a cross ditch trip…I wheel the GX harder than it was envisioned for sure.

Need to push progress on the Pig to save the plastic

Yes, I've witnessed that! Very impressed by your skills and that vehicles capability bone stock. It was Norrish i believe. I haven't been able to find photos.

I got out with a stock GX a couple years ago and was quite impressed with how it did. I've actually always liked those things a lot. Still mulling over one of the 1KD JDM ones as an option for my fam.

Love your project BTW!

Never even made it to the door. This was a big freakin event. I got there around noon and there were hundreds if not and couple thousand people there. Not for me! I reckon it will be all over CHEK news tonight.

I just passed thru the office in Calgary last night. Oilers Win! Was met with smiles and enthusiasm by all!! Not enemy territory now, it’s Canadian Territory!!
Bring the Cup home.

I’m betting if you asked 100 Canadians which is more important - Stanley Cup or the Holy Grail??
Stanley Cup - 100%!!

I would never take the Python's name in vain.
