Subaru

It's the only 7.3 powerstroke diesel, Ste. I was warned to stay clear of the 6.0 that came a couple of years later.

 

Yes the load handler. $150. Can't argue with that.

You were warned correctly,the 6.0 can bankrupt a person in no time with the engine faults ,the 7.3 is by far the best engine .

I went for the 5.4triton f350 has they are like rocking horse .hite here .Has for a winch bumper I fitted a bull bar that bolts on to those huge mountings at the front towing eyes and then weld a mounting plate in .

Picked up a used custom built Rack with cupboards for the truck today. Slid on and bolted down just fine. Just need to add some aluminum checker plate behind the mesh so the chips don't blow out. On the whole it's getting there though. I'm keeping an eye out for some winch bumpers too, but no rush.

 

That's one neat truck RCO, keep the pictures coming!!

Checker plate added over the mesh sides. Just the bumpers now and I'll be happy.

We will all be in these trucks soon, the Jap stuff gets bigger with every model change. Park a new ranger next to an old one

Is there any reason for this? Is it built in impact protection.

 

My ideal truck was the peugeot 504 because it was small with a large payload and LSD.

 

travelling on the M25 passing a convoy of old minis makes you realise how small they were compared with modern small cars.
