Sounds like its working well for you so far Tony, can you put some pics up?
Engine bay, dash/ interior etc..

**Batfink** · 02-02-2015, 10:09am

I will mate, and rather than just posting whats online I will go all tourist (snappy snappy, picture picture) on it when I get home LOL

**Zoro** · 02-02-2015, 10:35am

Yeah they're the one's we want to see, the online ones are too "clinically correct"

Sounds the goods Tony...one small correction though mate, it's Cummins, not Cummings.
Many Cummins engines are now produced in China and most purchasers would have no idea.
They're fitted to trucks, forklifts, generators, earthmoving machinery etc, and are closely linked if not exact copies of Komatsu engines in many cases.
May the Toton Funland give you many thousands of trouble free miles........

thanks Lucky.. fixed the mistake LOL

while a lot of people scoff at the idea of a Chinese made vehicle you are right that they have no idea where things are really made. All the components used in the drive-line, which are European stamped companies, are made in China under the instruction of the Stamping Co.
Soon Holden and Ford will be China/Asia based for all production so whats the difference???

Yes Raz it's an off road vehicle, in the same class as a Ranger or Colorado. I wanted a new 4x4 and unfortunately I didn't have the $160-300K needed to buy a new Rangie plus the $10+K to do to it what you did to yours lol

**RaZ** · 02-02-2015, 06:00pm
