Cheaper than an agricultural LC79 so i'd say thats competitive just not when compared to a jap (thai) dual cab ute.Quote:

There is a lot of aftermarket gear for them and standard spec is way better than a toyo, you would have to spend 20k plus to get it close and still have uneven wheel track and cart springs.Quote:

As LR owners we know what its like to not have dealers lol, for me on paper the quartermaster is better value sure its not perfect but for what you get the tojo doesn't come close.Quote:

I just recalled that our local NPWS have a Grenadier 'tilly. It's kitted out with a typical Parks fire/spray kit. I'll try and have a chat with the operator, when possible.Quote:

I do not consider that this is at all good value. IMHO if I was spending that much there are many cars I would consider first.
The base unit is only $90,000 drive away with tub or tray.
Their retail is 107 for the base car, or 120 for the Trialmaster. Plus on roads.Quote:
