There is a Toy. dealer in Vic. who delivers 100 x hiluxs to oz army for use by S A S etc.

They are completely stripped and 'reassembled' because they usually do not make it back from a mission.

It is my understanding this is how remapping, high pref. tuning etc. originally started with diesel mech. leaving the service and taking their knowledge to civy street.
In the market for
