  1. that's right bud....iv'e done it that way as well.......
  2. Been looking into twin cabs, looking for something around 10 year old mark.Any suggestion? toyota's a safe bet i would say....always been a reliable make, and easy to work on,
  3. Wrangler Jeep have made a new pick up called Gladiator, 2.8TD....i think it looks quite good...
  4. iv'e always suffered from aching feet similar to what you are experiencing, especially when i had cheap shoes with not much in the way of support, i went to my local chemist and there they have a machine you stand on, and it measures and works out your stance on where your heavest, at the end of it, it tells you what insoles you need, so i got the recommended ones, and they are brilliant, i fit them into the footwear i'm using, and i have had no more problems, plus i always buy a better shoe/trainer/boot than a cheap pairs now, you could give that ago....might help you.
  5. the best thing you could do...is trade it in against a jap 4x4,
  6. your right there bud....my dads got one 4.2td vx....he's had it now for about 20 years, it's only done 120,000, it's been a brilliant motor, strong and reliable, in a motoring magazine a while back....the land cruiser was voted, one of the worlds best ever made vehicle..... Same as my brothers one , manual gearbox , 3 diff locks , think it's the 90 ..he's has done 260k , including two Maroc challenges . It's used on a daily basis towing and serious of road driving were he lives in Spain ..They are bomb proof .
  7. Driving a tractor with a trailer over 750kgs is illegal unless you've passed a trailer test (or passed a test before 1997) but its one of them laws thats not really enforced yeah....same with driving a motorhome, it's a grey area,(as they say) i had my licence before 97, i use to drive my 38ft 10 ton motorhome with a 12ft trailer on it, over all length was about 54ft...it was a glass 5 mot, same as a car, so nothing anyone could do about it.....

  9. yes but........how about if it was registered as an agricultured vehicle (like a tractor) would that work? could be a loophole there....you can drive a tractor of about 8 ton with a trailer of 10-14 full of corn...or bails of hay, making your load 30 ton+...on a car licence, you can tow a 13 ton 360 digger the same way.... . I have an agricultural registered Landy, it's not allowed on the motorway and can't travel more than 25 miles a day on the road, so not much good for haulage, the guy in Weston charges around a tenner a mile, so even if it only does 10mpg it's earned a oner and cost a ten

  11. looks a handy little tool for bombing off road bud......there said to be good off roaders......enjoy it.
  12. there is a guy in w,s,m with one of them, he makes a very tidy living shifting, cars and boats for people that are a bit to big for a normal 4x4 but don't warrant a Lorry, as its American a lot of people into American cars use him to take em to shows and the like nice little earner sounds just like the tool for the job....you want to see what they tow with them here, you wouldn't believe it, my mates got the ram 3500 (not a dually) single wheel with the 6.7 cummins diesel, he tows a 27 ft horse trailer, with 2-3 horses with tack room and living quarters with ease.....also, 36ft 5th wheeler
