oh a g wagon pick up would be nice are they 3.5 gvw? sorry for the derail neil 

This is a subject for Mr Moose really, I'll let him know

However, best engine depends on the year, 300GD is a good one though, not the most powerful tug in the world, but after 800,000 miles in ours, we can't really complain

I know that the ones with drum brakes on the rear have a tow limit of 2.8 tonnes (I think) due to UK law, so if you want a 3.5 tonne towing ability, disk brakes it is

The HZJ75 looks great. Hard to come by here though. Mind you, so is a G! Anyone get the feeling they're only here through being an awkward sort who likes to step away from the normal vehicles that most folk use?!

Thanks moose. Is there any hope of finding a pickup here? Or were they never imported? Is it possible to butcher one down to a truck cab as it is with a 90 hard top, or is the construction different?

Cheers. I'm not sure it's a good move to be thinking about my next vehicle just yet. It sounds like what I want to do is quite a job, so perhaps not really a great idea?

I need to get the mog done first. I'm very happy now it's moving again but I still have some way to go. The more I look at the cab, the more work it needs. I can't decide whether it would be a good idea to simply patch it up, or go in there head on with a shot blaster and get it all back to the bare metal to start again. There are lots of small areas needing attention so a part of me just wants to completely strip it, tidy it all up in one go and have it properly finished again.

I think that could cost a bit, so I will hang back for now. I've got a habit of taking on too much at once and the trouble is that ends up with none of it being done properly!

You know the answer to that moose... Give the black mog to casto, and I suppose I wouldn't mind putting myself out a bit and looking after the doka for you if you're really stuck

18 months isn't long?! I was thinking I'd have it looking great by the summer!
