Well - I finally picked up the new truck yesterday (22km on it) and am a happy camper The black looks shit hot and Im going to enjoy it while i can cause soon it'll show all the scratches and dirt Piccies are on my profile.
I drove from there to the tyre dudes to get new rubber and what a difference that makes ! From there went to ARB to meet the lads I'd been talking to for the last few weeks and to talk timings for when I could book her in.
Those blokes are outstanding. When they found out I was getting a flexiglass canopy (due wallet being stretched a little too far), they didn't want a bar of me driving out of there without an ARB one fitted with all the other work I was getting. So they played with some numbers and put the canopy on (with side opening windows) for the same price as I was going to pay for the 'flexisports' canopy They were even going to put in the front and back internal racks and a pair of bars on top, for that price, but i decided to not go ahead with that bit cause im not keen on the bars being permanent - I wouldn't be using them that much. They took that amount off the total price, and now that leaves me with nearly enough for a new radio and antennae......... Its going in on Tuesday for its makeover, and should be ready Thursday or Friday for the camera and some dirt
Thanks to all you blokes who have helped guide my decsion making processes so far. Its been a real help.
Talking of help.........what sort of UHF should I be looking for and how much (and where from) can I pick them up for ?
Interestingly, whilst cecking the car over at the stealers, the spare tyre was only a steel rim and there was no rubber seal on the bottom of the ute gate. We looked over a GLX-R and it had an alloy spare and the rubber seal, so I noted it on the pre-delivery report and asked them to sort it out for me. Any other VR owners have the same problem ? Did they come to the party ? They also said that there is no PIN for the stereo either ?
