    Default Whitesack's 4x4

    Hey guys, i know most of you are thinking i was getting a VE sv6 or something like that like what i wanted, but i couldnt afford to get one cause ive got no job at this point in time, an ive always wanted a 4x4 an this was really cheap, got it for 2500

    Sold my ute cause i wanted a sedan, but part of me has always wanted a 4x4 then i found this its nice an i like it so thats the main thing haha, its got all electric windows an a sun roof

    Its got a 2.4L Turbo diesel under the hood with only 176,000ks on the engine, its all straight an clean on the inside, on the drivers side its been side swiped but ive got new doors an a new guard lined up, just gotta get them sprayed, so here it is

    Future mods: Snorkel, Lift kit maybe 4" not 100% sure yet, some 33/35 inch muddies when there tyres are done, (they are brand new) cd player of some sort to get the old standard radio out of it haha, do a complete respray on a holden color of some sort, after everything else is done

    thats about it, getting the aircon regased sometime this week an a blue slip cause being qld i need a blue slip to rego in nsw, got some Driving lights to install, they are going on tomorrow some time if everything is good, also gotta get a new speedo cable, old one must have a kink in it, speedo jumps around a bit haha

    I love that color, of course i could be a bit biased cause my ute was that color, but it was so easy to keep clean, always looked clean even when it was covered in dust an sh*t

    I had a Black VE sv6 before the ute, i hated it, i live on a dirt road out of town, the amount of bugs on that front bar, was getting a cut an polish on the front bar an bonnet like once a week, was over it, this 4x4 is hard to keep clean, but who keeps a 4x4 clean? not me haha

    I'm currently looking at buying one of these as well.

    I've been looking for the one with the 3L engine in it out of the prado models. Supposed to go pretty hard
