we had a patrol pick up for running diesel out to the skidder for the firm i used to work for in New South Wales and even with a 1000 litre bunded fuel bowser in the back it would pull like hell on hills

When i was in australia i worked part time as a fitter in a 4x4 workshop preparing trucks for overland trips around australia. i found that the toyotas whether it be hilux or land cruiser were down on power in relation to the other maunufacturers equivalent model but were the only one that was able to put up with constant abuse. nissan patrols were damned good in either chassis cab or conventional style. l200 and shoguns steering and suspension werent built very tough and i was regularly doing replacements.

with 37inch tyres and towing every day absoulutely sod all!!! 300 to a tank??!! the tipping gear of a written off 54 reg transit i got off ebay. i cut it down to 2.7m x1.8 and made the mountings up to fit the hilux, the actual alloy tray is from an australian spec hilux. also the ram is really close to the front so it has lot and lots of lifting power

not always chainsaw, guy who does my hedgecutting has got rotary head on his big mcconnell and he can "lean" on timber upto 5"inch diameter and pulverise it to ground level. that works better on big timber than a flail or he has a 3ft sawblade for real big stuff. mind u a good mulcher will do the job too
