Hi From Lake Macquarie

[philm]

Just bought a 2nd hand 2006 D40 Diesel STX with 70,000kms on clock.
Its replacing a very faithful 1986 LPG Jackaroo with 550,000 on the clock - i'm still getting used to the extra size.
Extras-
Auto
Steel bull bar
Canopy
Tub liner
Tint
Reversing Camera
Plastics
Tow bar

I have to set up the electric brake controller and Aux battery charger to tow a 14ft van
Probably have to upgrade the rear springs and shocks.

Its off to Perisher Valley on Sunday for its 1st trip and planning a Darwin trip in June.
Other cars:
04 Subaru Forester
89 Mazda MX5
Looking forward to the forum chats and info

Hi Phil, welcome to the forum.

Did you clock up all the k's on the Jackaroo? That's some travelling!

Welcome mate, a semi-local. Good to see.

I have known a few people with the older Jackeroo's but there's have been the turbo diesels, there a good truck and those diesels are a great motor.

Good luck with the D40, there a good bit of gear to.

Enjoy your stay.

Dave.
