    Personally id love to get the base spec gx but the 7 seats and all the extras really tie up the gxl to make it the perfect blank canvas 300 series, rather than drop 150k on the top of the line gr sport id happily have aftermarket lockers fitted and maybe see if there's any aftermarket detachable sway bars and make it somewhat of a gr on a budget

      Only the GR-S has front and rear diff locks, in addition to the center differential lock, the latter is standard fitment across the entire range.

    Hi guys, just brilliant coverage of Farina, last there in 2015, was totally unaware of restoration occurring.
    We're headed back up oonadatta track in 2023, any chance of sharing with us the magic 8 week period of baking, Please, oh Please share.
    By the way, 2015 we were stranded at William Creek with road closures.
    Took a flight with Trevor's crew over the lake, my advise "Wear Good Sunnies". I didn't think of nor was advised of the glare, let's just say it all went belly up, literally, yuck.
    The glare was so intensive, wear some sunnies to enjoy the experience.
    Again, thanks for the footage and share the dates please.

      Hi Ian,

      @shumanimalaka4182 Рік тому

      Yes it vibrates, esp the headrest of the middle seat. U cannot unsee it. And the bonnet/hood also vibrates. But it’s a lovely and comfortable vehicle. I can drive for hours without getting tired.

    Wow what a super long drive?
    Question (as someone from overseas / Philippines):
    Do Australians really love driving long distances?
    I mean personally:
    I would consider driving from Sydney CBD to Newcastle (or Wollongong) to be a tiring activity.

    Hardly a challenging off road drive. Take it off track for a few thousand kms and see how the low front end, electric tech wiring, DPF in dry grass and passenger rated 18 inch tyres perform.
