the commercial discoveries are cracking vehicles id have one of them if i didnt need the pickup bit for peckers and buckets etc

we are trying to buy a new tractor at the moment 1 with 40kph box and suspension getting bored of 20mph haha

my navara is making a horrible clicking noise out the front transfer box but not had time to investigate it

My navara is missing a wheel :laugh: Dad crashed it on the weekend, swerved to avoid a dog on the road, hit the kerb, wheel buckled and snapped off.
Rough estimate, 2k to repair.
