I think that is the key to them, my grandson is not driving this one without me as passenger. Trouble I've had with CV's in my UTV and quad bike seem to come after he and his mates have been off in them. They seem to have an obsession with powering hard in a tight turn in reverse.
What was the original purpose of the building in the back left hand side of your first picture?
That's the old chicken house and now where we store small square bales. The original house was next to it and we dozed/buried it in 2007.
What brand of truck? Is that a snorkel on the truck, that's what we would call that here? I like that flatbed.
I like it.
I probably missed it somewhere but, how often do y'all get new SxS? Do you always get two of the same models?
Pretty much every 2 years. And yes, essentially the same but his has a winch, mine has heated seats. He had a radio once. That was enough. Even with his hearing aids, he had it cranked so loud he couldn't hear me - and I have a lot to say
. One year he got the doors/semi enclosed and I hated it! I'm in & out so much, it was a huge PITA, plus the dust that accumulated inside was epic. Fully enclosed with heat/air would be pointless for us (aforementioned in/out). And one year he got the Rancher Edition, which was a complete waste because our fences are pretty good and zero need to always carry around rolls of barbed wire, supplies, etc. Plus, it was red. Testosterone, much? And every 2 years because we need a write-off for taxes (especially starting this year when he has to start taking his RMD). BTW we do NOT trade them in at the dealer anymore because Kansas started taxing the trade as income.
It is a Toyota Hilux they are very popular work vehicle here, little brother to the Landcruiser. Yep it is a snorkel. I only bought the truck last year. I bought it sight unseen from a major online auction house, I guess I outbid a dealer, they were mostly ex lease vehicles from big companies it is a 2018 model with 122,000km(75800 miles) and I think it came from a mining company or earth construction, has had upgraded suspension but everything in the front end is still tight, it has been well maintained, 4 cylinder common rail diesel turbo and intercooled with 6 speed automatic, 4x4, hi/low transfer case and rear diff lock. I love it though I don't drive on the highway any more because of my eyes. It is a very capable 4x4.
Yes, off white as all of mine quickly end up. If bought new as a family vehicle as in the dualcab you get the choice of a full range of colours but vehicles like this that often have a previous life as a big company or government lease vehicle they most often are white.
What is that part he keeps?
