The Jeep died after our last Madigan attempt. It was very ????
The new truck is a 79 Series Toyota Landcruiser twin cab with tray. It’s ideal around the farm and great in the bush. It had the best economy on the desert crossing; 14.9l/100km where the 200 Series Landcruisers were getting 22!
A good choice of truck if I may say so DJC. I had a 78 series 1HZ troopy for years, which served me very well on numerous challenging trips. The fuel economy was also remarkable especially on the long highway sections due to its high 5th cruising gear. The other positive I found was the very low rate of depreciation - got an excellent price for it when I eventually let it go.
It sounds like it was a wonderful trip - hoping to get back to it myself someday.
Reality always wins in the end.
