Welcome Apples, good luck with the wait. At least you'll have time to do some research for modifications. Great people here mate, plenty of info and a few laughs. Enjoy.

Cheers

Joel

P.S. Eastern suburbs of where?

Hi apples,
you won't be disappointed... 2 weeks - up until recently most have had 3 months wait ... or more....

Don't be afraid to ask anything about your new truck here - leaves the factory experience on its test bench......

Which one did you order...?

Pakenham - we're over near Lilydale...

frats,
Rosco

Thanks for the replies fellas. I just ordered the single cab turbo diesel, that should do the trick!

Horses for courses, apples - manual or auto....?

Steve - didn't give too much away with any of my posts.... but starting to settle in to the "fraternity"....
I knew Cripps was in the gold town - and you....?

Our little truck doesn't get out much - but when it does.. it goes for long trips. Coming up for 12 months old and only 8,900 something on the clock..... all "easy" miles - but starting to "lean" into it a bit more in preparation for having to work for its keeping....
It's life will basically be hauling a mobile "aluminium road block" around this wondrous country of ours..... but not for a little while yet... still running down the retirement work clock and have a few more little bits and pieces to pick up....
- road block included.....

frats,

It's the manual version Rosco. Having good fun researching what sort of a bullbar and driving lights to put on it at the moment then once we have that sorted out it's onto other aftermarket stuff to blow a few bucks on!
