Yeah well just like the old fella in the telly carpet advert yells ....
"TELL EM THE PRICE SON!!!!!!"
Add on all the available offroad extras plus the Trakka conversion plus all your own customisations (the sort of stuff we already have) =
BIG BIG $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!!!!
My present van all of a sudden is looking very very good. AND has no bonnet. AND the motor is in the right place, even better on a cold night!
All good. I just need to finalise the WP & OC R&R!
Long live T3s

I would reckon about $70,000. For that amount of money you could buy an Amarok or another "proper" 4WD. Can't put a bed in them though. Except a Troopie and that gives you a V8. Not much attraction in Qld with $1000 a year for rego and CTP.
Still a Rockton with the 16's would be good. But Ken reckons we can do a complete rebuild for less. That right Ken?
Happy Christmas and New Year to everybody. ☃☆☆☆☆☆☃

Bruce,
What, 70 big ones for a basic offroader weekend day tripper with esky and then on weekdays ... test the speed bumps in Woolies car park? No thanks, nor for a T3 rebuild.
Ask Brian how much his Trakadu cost him all up. That'll be like beer money compared with this fully equipped offroad Rockton plus Trakadu replete with yuk bonnet and yuk front donk.
I think we're pretty safe. I see no sentimental resurge with this mountebank.
