Here she is.

Been through the mill lately.

I replaced the rear cross member last year, the leafs and shockers all round.

She had fist sized holes around the back windows.

She works for a living, as I do about 1000k a week towing nearly two ton.

But a nice project, and a great car.

And they nicked the badge from the grill Evil or Very Mad

Nice ride, my Trooper is the same exact silver color and a 4 door. The lights across the top are trail-looking too. How many miles do you have on it?

How do these things go for towing?

When I had the 2.6 Petrol I towed a shed, and had the back loaded up with old steel and concrete, not a problem. Yet to tow anything with the 2.8TDI, will be lugging heaps of gear around in about 2 weeks so will be good to hear what it should go like.
