Great, now if they can make a real 4wd with out the power windows, keyless entry, carpet on the floor, cloth insert seats, and with a solid live axel front-end, and properly geared gear box, behind a decent economical 4 or 6 cyl diesel, air con and cab chassis formatt’ two fuel tanks, ( like an improved HJ75 Land Cruiser tray back).No air bags please. They will sell like proverbial Land Cruisers to graziers, cow cockies, miners, bushies, professional roo-shooters etc, who are hanging on to 10 year old Hi Luxs and Cruisers because the current crop of new 4wd vehicles are to soft and expensive, and whose major designed work load would be better covered by a Falcon or Holden ute. This is what people like myself who live in the real outback need.

I agree with your comment about the HJ75 my friend. But a word of warning about the power and greed of the industry, and if your not getting what I’m on about, take a trip to the Gold Coast my friend and see what language the shop signs are written in. So what next do we import from lands far away, maybe the one child policy could be next.
