  1. From what I've seen on the hilux forum it looks a good clean truck. And the tyres are goodans. Still plenty of tread I'm guessing? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  2. I've got a 96 mk3 hilux. More of a toy than a workhorse but it will if needed but a little slow. Might be time to turbo or upgrade to the 2.8 Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    I'm trying to find the pic/report but can't. I can't imagine giving up, I'm 31 now and I started when I was 18 and I don't know anything else

    Funnily enough my boss was about that age when he stopped climbing, he'll still do it though if needed. I remember seeing a pic of a blood stained harness on a spiked fence, I believe the climber survived though

    Spoke to the bloke I replaced today and the reason he stopped was a sudden fear of heights. He said as soon as he hit 42 that was it Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Never really had a problem with heights as I started rock climbing at 10 year old. I remember when I was training, one lad was was quite happy climbing a 70ft or over tree, but first he went on spikes he couldn't get 8ft off the ground
  24. Bet that took some cutting good job
  25. Not sure on a starting wage nowadays, but when I started in 2001 I was being paid £60 p/day and I had nc in arboriculture, And all tickets to 39 and spraying tickets
