I’m kind of hooked

now for off-roading. After well 10 or so years ago, with a trip trough Gibb River Road in AUS:

Maybe you’re not found of such things, but if you may like to check it out.

It’s not different this time

How nicely does it fit to the name of this blog.
It is really stupid from Toyota to hit on reliability. And that’s especially true for any off road offerings and even more especial for trucks. And here we go:

It’s not a big problem for Ford, RAM, Toyota etc. Overpricing and downsizing the quality, what piss poor decision.

And just look at this:

It dominates(d) the list of reliability, and you throw that away? How stupid can one be?

Interesting changes

for me or maybe in me?
Some years ago I wasn’t into SUV, Trucks or cars with off-road capabilities. That has changed massively. Now I’m hooked. The first SUV I bought was a Grand Vitara V6 2.5. And it was because I had become a hunter and I wanted a decent car for the hunting ground. And I liked it robust, and you could get to places. Now I own the fourth SUV, and it’s a dream car for me, I wished I could say with confidence it will turn out to be a good bargain. But we have to wait and see. It’s one of the most underrated cars regarding off-road capabilities. And it’s comparably efficient for such a large motor. Anyway, I’m afraid the problem will come with oil leakage, and that’ll be the end of the car. Changing the motor will probably cost as much as another car ….
So now I’m watching that kind of informational videos with a lot of interest:
