    Your 130 looks great !!

    whats a style side exactly ? Isnt that LR's factory alloy tray ?

    Whats amazing is that I dont have any "drivers fatigue" from a stint in the 130 where as even in the falcon I feel crappy in the back after a drive in it (1hr +) The Defender 130 I do not have this issue..................the Landcruiser Ute, I literally could barely walk when I jumped out !!

    I think for trade work etc, then a tray is the best option, you can get all sorts in the back of it.

    Its also a good idea if you have a slide on camper, like the Ho Har's.

    Style sides/Tubs/HCPU are suited for, general work, touring, expedition set ups.

    Style side is just the name given to the rear body work of a 4wd/ute, that comes as standard on most vehicles, from the factory.

    The ride and comfort on the 130 is excellent, and as a daily drive i cant fault mine.... I have not driven a Toybota ute so i cant comment on the driving comfort, i did once have a Toyota SR5 Hilux, and other than being very very fast, it was terrible to drive, and sitting in for a long period of time....

    Sorry style side = HCPU. Got to stop using Japanese lingo

    I think, Jap owners say LR's are uncomfortable because they don't spend much time in them perhaps. LR are just different to all the other modern offerings.
    But if you want an out of the box decent 4x4, with good looks, and need a twin cab ute. The old Defender ticks the boxes, then comes with character, not glossy brochures and pictures.

    Looks great - and black checker wing tops will look very cool. Really pleased for you and glad to see you're enjoying it. There is nothing like a Land Rover.

    ummmmmm.... it's kind of a love hate relationship at the moment.

    Rolling into my 4th week of ownership, I have only driven it for 1.5 of them.
    got some issues
    kinda feel quite down about the whole deal really, but nevermind it will pick up.

    I hope the issues are only Defender related...and if so AULRO is a sort of encounter/support group so share if you want. No point trying to bury it.

    you guys make me laugh, I should point out they are defender related.

    oil, electrical, water.....its like a box of chocolates. No point banging on about it, it's something only LR can fix.

    We have a local chocolate maker and they make a mean chilli chocolate...

    It's a bit like Defender ownership...there is a fine line between pleasure and pain.

    Hope you get to improve the proportion of pleasure in the ratio.
