Scoobs gone:)
Well the Scoobs gone felt realy sad but it has gone to a good home.Got my self this had it a couple of weeks now all going well never had a large 4x4 so off on a new journey with lots to learn.
Easy to get into and auto just what i need at the moment then wait for it the head cracked not had any choice but to fix it so looks like i will be in the Surf for a while as it has cost ££££££££££ not as much as a rebuild on the scoob but a big dent in my Impreza money(this was going in to a bank account to not be touched).I am sure my luck will change soon and i can get it sorted for jap bash. |

Shame to hear about the scoob Wez, and good luck on the new venture, we had a isuzu trooper auto, but got rid of it as it cost us a fortune in fuel, and then we brought another scoob

Great choice mate. I've been thinking about getting a Surf. Loved my old Hilux pick-up
You will miss the scoob, but the Surf will win a place in your heart |

Yep love it already like a car to drive.I got it for a very good price the plan was sell one of my bike's to pay for it which i did then save the scoob money for when i can get another one.Anyway it's the 3.0 ssr-x so does have some nice bit's on it rear heaters etc.The 3.0 do not normaly do the heads think i just got a bad one that had been boiled up in the past.I have gone for a complete new head,rad and all the other little bit's(some how a snorkel made it's way on to the list LOL) came to just over a grand which still makes it a cheap Surf lookin at some of the prices.

This is the best place to get Hilux bits from. Everything i bought for mine came from here. really cheap too. very helpful on the phone...
http://www.roughtrax4x4.com/ Couple of other places that might be quite handy. Going to get a few bits for my Frontera from these... http://www.formula4x4.co.uk/ http://www.formula4.co.uk/ |

Nice looking Surf there Wez, handles like a car? myself questions that, unless its based on a 2cv or similar?
I used to have a Toyota Landcruiser 4.2l, 6cyl with 2 inch body lift, 6inch suspension jack, running 34 x 12 inch rubber that got dirty! |

No way i will be a stranger as soon as i am back in top form a new scoob will be top of the list .I have been lucky that 2 of my mate's have Surf's so with there help the head is off now and the new one should be here Tuesday.Never thought i would sell the scoob and one of my bikes but what happened has made me have a good think and health is more importent.My left side is getting better but still have a few problems with grip etc.Jay still has her sport so still have a scoob in the family.Thank you again for all the nice replys and my main aim now is get it sorted for jap bash hopefully there should be 3 of us in Surfs one with a v8 in it.
