  1. Great job Dave! Lovely spec too, burn some, leave some, take the prime!
  2. Why not a 130 double cab?
  3. Over a grand in Sweden!
  4. It might only weigh 1.3 ton but bogged down, perhaps stuck in a ditch, tracks not able to climb up a solid earth step, needing to be dragged up hill the resistance plus the dead weight will need significantly more than 1.3t pulling power plus a bit extra so you're not over exerting the winch
  5. you're having a laugh arnt ya? Jon's arbtalks resident tyre kicker
  6. Very nice! One day....although the hilux is juicy enough on fuel! What can they tow? What mileage was on that one for 26k? Is the V8 diesel allowed in Europe?
  7. Good luck with the sales mate
  8. Look up "Feige Forsttechnik GmbH" on Facebook for the one gray git posted
  9. Sounds like false economy Stefan,
  10. Here But seeing as you're over 21, you might aswell take C license (any weight rigid vehicle) as its simmilar test and same price, or at least was when I done mine You gotta do C1 or C first, then you can add E (trailer) unfortunately you can't jump from B (car) straight to arctic. Again, this was the score when I took mine.
  11. Does the school even want or need a minibus? What happens when 19 students need to go on a trip but its only an 18 seater? For the price of a new minibus, the school could probably hire the perfect vehicle for the odd day a term they actually need it for 20 years and slip the agro of upkeep, insurance, driver training etc. Nobel idea Jon but
  12. I have mine bolted direct on the bench, and a desk computer office wheely chair to sit on. works well. wants to be chest height, sitted or standing imo, so either way you're not bent over.
  13. Curved zubat 330 for general use for me.
  14. My old old 046 used to play up, turned out to be the tiny little mesh filter in the carb bunged up with super fine sludge
  15. Vw transporter kombi 4motion if it's just snowy tracks
  16. Funnily enough, the previous coronet cut oak i done, was for a private customer. He'd played in the tree as a child, brought the house as an adult, relandscaped the garden, drowning the tree in soil, killing it, and was ecstatic that doing a fracture prune would topping would give the remains a purpose.
  17. Really? supplied and fitted? thats a great price, i really regret not getting it when i ordered my Hilux, it was £2600 option over here...looked into it again and the local webasto dealer wants over 3k!! reckons it takes 12 hours to fit? (says on the website)
  18. What are you going to be carrying, and what realistically are you going to be towing? my first thought would be a mint condition mk3 hilux (if you live somewhere flat) or mk4 with turbo if not. Genuine parts are expensive, but rarely needed. My old mk3 would run out of puff on slight hills when towing a GBM Chipper, weighting 1.4t i think, otherwise it was a great truck. 3.5k might get you a d40 navara, but at that price id be waiting for it to break.
  19. At least they make coherent posts
  20. sugi bar? Lumberjack shirt and braces. Skinny jeans and dealer boots Go full hipster
  21. Why had the trees "obviously been neglected"?
  22. Have a look through the "Arb Trucks" Sub forum (which you've posted this in) couple threads down is a thread titled something like "DIY Arb truck chip bodys"
