How's that Land Cruiser holding up Lee?

Pictures of her two years on, with the addition of impact bars round the bumpers back and front. Not had a single problem (nearly 17k on the clock now), and like I said in the other thread, the landy 110 it replaced was scraped in the same time frame, due to the maintenance bills outweighing the cost of a replacement - broken prop shafts, spring leafs etc every other week, spent more time getting fixed then out doing the rounds underground. Those single cab landys are so tight inside as well, the 79 has loads more leg room etc. The gearbox is also a lot smoother then the landy, not sure if we had a clutch issue there, but the gear changes used to be very sticky. The landy also struggled a bit to build speed on the up ramps, which in fairness can be steep, but the 79 just bulls on, and growls up the incline, seemingly effortlessly. A pleasure to rip round in, although its bumpy as hell, given the extra heavy duty leafs on the back axle, and the fact that she is generally empty.
