Ok excuse the one pic at a time. I jumped under and I can spin the front prop shaft so it's not locked to the rear, drove her down the shop before and gearbox was a lot quieter, noise returned when I applied a bit of downward pressure in second when it was engaged

Yes the extra ventilation will be handy even in Tas, not sure could be a moch up if it is they've done well especially the filler cap at the rear rather than behind drivers door, either either I'm happy might take her for an over nighter tomorrow see if she can find me some trout. I'm hoping the built in trout finder still works

Looks to be in very nice condition, and the seat I have seen nothing like since the Series 1 utes!

Thanks Jd she's a beaut took her for a spin up to Jeffery's track just out of Hobart yesterday to make sure low range was all working and she went like a trooper what a great truck I'm stoked to own a series.

A few things though
- it won't go into 5th gear
- I can't find the ac switch
- also the intermittent wiper switch is missing
- LR did a really good job hiding the stereo in this model
- I also think it needs a tune feels like it only has about 73 horse power![]()
Ooh, i've been watching that car on Carsales. It looks super neat. Lucky for you it was in Tassie - if it had have been a Perth listing i'd have been all over it![]()
