>park my car

>they're gone
who the fuck decided it was a good idea to make p plates in windows illegal that fucking dumb cunt should be fucking massacred the little fucking shit

Yeah, with them at the moment but policy expires at the start of March and no more renewals from Feb 13th. May as well go through the headache now of finding new insurance compared to then.
Guaranteed they'll stick all their customers on AAMI who will only jack their prices up.

21 an hour meh

>either building, selling, appraising
pretty broad.
you dont want labour? building has lots of labour

falcon or 2wd hilux.
export please

Not a VW amarok, don't even consider it
New rangers seem to be designed very well but I know some guys who had big electrical issues
New Holden brodeo/colorado is too knew to really know much yet.
Hilux just keeps fucking hiluxing.
Heard good things about navaras but from bogans, which makes it unreliable info.

What state?

yeah but what kind bruh? im in melbourne western suburbs. 0 experience building labor.

im bidding way too much for this Kingswood

i should stop, im at 2250 + 415 admin fees rn

What's that brown stain? Kangaroo shat on your newspaper or you dropped some vegemite?

Just insured my vl - 381.18 per year full comp

QLD,

I heard that the Navaras were plagued with shit, or was that the dt40 I'm thinking of?

Vf ss or fgx xr6 turbo

Not sure. I'd just go hilux m8.

Slab is payable to foreskinanon.

has anyone here ever spent a little too much for something they bought?

i think i might of bought this kingswood for too much and i cant back out because its an auction

brickies

Get a hilux workmate and call it a day

>roofing
not much labor here. i do nothing half the time

i dont have any experience in that

they all want xp

Yes you should stop

Hiluxes are shit. Theyre comparable to all the other jap utes, but with a 20k premium. I.e. not worth it. I.e. an sr5 twin cab or extended cab is about the same money as a land cruiser and the landcruiser is ten times the ute the hilux is.

This

>hey guys, what ute do i get for work
>>landcruiser

Dont get anything new and pigfat. An old hilux is your best bet imo.

LandCruisers make Utes you tripper.

...

does /dat/ FH3?
club?

But they're not fucking workutes.

They're for autists who fell for the "landcruisers are the most reliable" shit and want to spend 50k+ on a 50 year old car

Are you even old enough to drive? You sound absolutely fucking clueless. Not even biased. Too ignorant to be biased. Just fucking clueless

Wow you sure showed me with that thorough explanation of why a landcruiser is a good workute

All of the gardeners up coast use them, there's one on 1.8M kms, it's the Workute of every shire up the coast too.

I Lied i'm pretty sure 10% of shires use Tritons

I dont know what you think 'work ute' is, but land cruisers are objectively better by almost any metric

t. Regularly drive work utes

But most people who buy work utes don't want some primitive piece of shit that makes a vk commie look spaceage, they want something comfy with excellent aircon and a good stereo and electric windows for the drivethru and sensors and etc shit

Landcruiser ute can option in literally all of those things

You don't like it because it doesn't come in automatic, right user

mate
a/c, stereo, power windows are standard on pretty much all vehicles these days, give or take the odd chinese vehicle or fleet version

>But most people who buy work utes don't want some primitive piece of shit
Incorrect.
Most people buying utes want something that works. They want something that is reliable and they can chuck tonnes of shit in the back and not have an issue with.

I would highly suggest actually going outside, finding a building site, and seeing what everyone drives.

Anything else past load capacity and reliability is a luxury for those sorts of cars. If they can get it, they will, but the two most important things are reliability and capacity. Both things that for example 70 series cruisers have in spades.

Not really, Toyota sold 1000's of cheapo Hiaces and 2wd Hilux utes here because they're-
Cheap
Reliable
Efficient

The fact you'll die if you hit anything substantial and they're simple things is of less concern to most of them. It just has to start, not fuck up and cost a lot of money.

There's someone who drives a HQ one tonner workute past my work pretty often, he's put high vis tape around it lol

Last I saw he was riding on the bump stops

20x7 front and 20x9.5 rears.
Will this look okay or fucked up?

>20x7
Consider suicide

Why is it that people who drive tradey utes are road raging tail gating faggots?

Fronts don't need to be wide.

Accused of giving false evidence.

I dont like african criminals in our country but this giy probably deserved it.

I have a disability kind of.

I could never do math so I had to be hand held in all my classes by stupid special ed teachers who spoke to me in a retard voice and got offended when I asked them to not make the retard voice when talking to me.

I think the main thing that has held me ba k in life is a bad upbringing and people telling me I have a disability.. Not actually having a disability its self as I am in uni now and actually doing okay.

-They are the sort of people who feel the need to act manly. Many work in masculine work environments and don't want to seem like pussies so they buy a big ute
- Driving aforementioned big ute gives them a feeling of invulnerability
-Many do a lot of driving and don't know how to chill out in traffic. Stuck in traffic for hours each day lots of them don't give a fuck and just drive like cunts expecting you to get out of their way or something
-Drugs

Poor fag detected.

it's not that bad. my stockies are about that wide.

Exactly my thought, phat rear wheels for that traction.

>Exactly my thought, phat rear wheels for that traction.
And an upset front/rear balance.
Also, wider tyres aren't going to achieve anything but looks. Different tyre manufacturer and model is going to make the biggest improvement.

fuck off you judgemental prick

go cry about your pretend girlfriend some more you cuck

Top quality post.
>pretend girlfriend
Just because the closest thing you've had to a girlfriend is your mother, no reason everyone else's are "pretend" falcunt.

I think he did, though hardly worth an extra car length.

get your head out of your ass, he told someone to consider suicide

I find it IRONIC as he has complained about depression and suicide because he cucked himself, he has the gall to tell other people to off themselves

pathetic

Chance is i'm coming in an auto fairlane

Try a different job
something where you work with your hands
have the same problem being too dumb to learn anything in a school enviroment, but i've been somewhat happy in my baker job now

That's gay as fuck famalam. Aren't you cunts also limited to 90km/h on your P's?

shitskins OUT

bretty sure 20x7 will look gay as fuck, what car we talking about?

Probably that bogan with the VZ SV6 on his P's who posts ugly bagged Commodores all the time.

So if Just Car dies I'll have a $4k+ premium and $3k excess to insure the skid hearse with Shannons. Also only 2/3 previous agreed value. AAMI won't touch it. Might have try to put it on parent's insurance even though I'm 24. Any other places I could try? Coilovers and catback doesn't help.

Oi cunse

Sometimes when I turn the steering wheel when the car is moving too slowly (eg, from a standstill and trying to back out while turning), one of the front wheels makes a thunk noise, but I can't quite identify which one.

Is that a wheel bearing going out?

Can you tell me more about front rear balance?
I always thought staggered was better than non staggered and 7 is quite thin for 20s but shouldn't make too much of a difference should it?

vy commo, I might chuck on spacers if it doesn't poke out enough

close, except im not bogan and its a vy.
>that bogan with the VZ SV6 on his P's
Isn't that like 50% off the people on here?

Lesson here: next time BLDC goes all emo because his gf fell for some wog, tell him to stop having a sook and neck himself
People were nice and supportive of him last time and thats not the aussie way clearly

anyone have any wild theories wtf is going on because i have no idea

someone's havin a giggle m8

Wheel bearings are a grinding noise when they're running
Thunks might be an outer ball joint, something in the suspension worn out or a CV joint

What do you think about these guys?

>Ball joint
Oh, that's what I was thinking

I asked the service guys to check it out last service, but they said they couldn't replicate it. I reckon they didn't look.

It's due for another service, but I'm worried they won't give a shit until it legit falls apart.
