HAVE YOU EVER??

Postby wainui123 on Tue, 23 Aug 2011 3:19 +0000

Have you ever been sold or talked into something you did not need by a 4x4 work shop? From talking to different people it seems there are a few shops out their that just care about making money,I understand they need to make a living but there are people out their who are new to 4wding and rely on their advice.Thank goodness for forums. :(

Mate I definitely have to agree with the above. I thought the standard Hilux was a very good package..... Until I went out wheelin in the rough stuff and realized I needed to buy so much more stuff to make it capable. Shouldn't web sites like this be governed by government officials and not by blokes who love showing off??
