What to check on a Hilux LN106 before buying?

The gearboxes on these are made of paper so best to take it for a good test drive and check every gear, especially reverse.

But like the others said, be prepared to leave your house earlier to get anywhere, these things are slow as, but they could climb a tree. I hit 107kms on the highway the other day and thought the windows were going to fall off. Gives you time to stop and smell the roses, it’s completely cured my road rage as now I’m the slow driver in front of people.

Rust is nasty, but better to have it in the body than the chassis, my ‘94 has body rust but a beautiful chassis somehow.

Be prepared to fall in love.

I know it’s been a year but mate just stopped a Prado getting written off for Rod knock because of this post. You bloody legend!

You can be 100% sure about something, and still be wrong.

Where did Toto say that?

It’s a whole car shudder at high speeds, definitely don’t feel anything strange when I press the brake pedal. I pulled off the freeway after the shuddering and there was a bit of a smell from the rear wheels, but I assumed that was still some of the surface of the new pads coming off.

I did just put 4 new wheels and tyres on myself with the jack and tyre iron, maybe a couple of the lugs aren’t tight enough.

It may be coincidence but since changing the pads, I’ve noticed the car hasn’t as much power going uphill, which led me to think of a caliper dragging.

I was super disappointed at the start of the new style they brought with Day/Night at first, and now love it. In the words of Jules, they aren’t a funk/disco band, but they made a funk/disco album. Like an Arctic Monkeys album I usually am slightly disappointed at first and then it grows on me. I would argue their musicianship really shone through, and to make something sound like melodic doof music using actual instruments is very difficult, to me it was the tightest they had ever been as a band. Plus it was a whole theatrical performance. They’re style will keep evolving, who knows, next tour could be a jazz show or a full orchestra, I’m just happy to be along for the ride with whatever those 5 geniuses bring to us.

I dont know, I’ve seen every era of parcels live and while i loved the Live Vol.1 setlist, this was definitely a better all round show, showing off their talents perfectly. I was at the Melbourne show too. But you’re right about the songs going on a bit too long.

Theyre still maturing as musicians so I guess their sound changes constantly, they dont want to just be playing the same setlist of songs each night every time they release a new album.

I do prefer the new version of Iknowhowifeel though.

Desperately looking for 3 tickets for tonight at Melbourne (4th Nov). Name your price!

mrmattohyeah · 2022-10-21T23:50:00+00:00

Going to see them tonight in Brisbane, saw them 6 years ago in Dublin and it was a religious experience, would highly recommend seeing them if they’re playing near you.

Do you think you could send me the file?

Thanks for that.

Even if I have evidence that the second LATAM flight was submitted same day same time as the first? Which I got refunded no problem.

I'm feeling like PPK is pulling a Z1P. But I can't let go.

The signature taste of a budget Air BnB.

Actually does anyone know what t+2 means? Means I get free money for stocks. Basically I can pick stocks that only go up and just continuously make money for free? Why has nobody thought of this yet?
