Thanks for the feed back
I ended up getting another one.
A 2003 V6 space cab with canopy, ladder racks and only 140000 on the clock. neat as a button and a straight swap for the 96 Hilux.
I loved the Hilux, but rego due in about 6 weeks and needed 4 new tyres and I'd seriously have to look at spending a few bob on a canopy and ladder racks. So all in all probably better off.
The last few years I averaged about 70 000 to 80 000 klms a year but have seriously cut back this year so should get a few years out of this one.
As a bonus I dont have to unpack my scopes and gear at 4am plus I can sleep in the back and my howling moon will still fit up on top.
