Bought this truck in Feb 2005. It was 6 months old with about 12,000 miles on the clock.
Had been a well pampered and looked after truck.

Pretty much factory standard L200 Warrior, with rear air locker as standrad and a dealer fitted roller shutter on the bed.

Here it is in Mar 2005, about 3 weeks after I bought it. How small are the kids !! James is now 18, nearly 19 and Emma is now 16.





That weekend was it's first trip out on the trails and tracks - and collected it's first scratches from hawthorn and gorse bushes.

At the top of a track called The Wayfarer in North Wales:



Later the same day:



James giving it a wash down after we got back home



April 2005, doing one of the things it was bought for, hauling 70s Fords around.



Later in July 2005, and still not a year old.
Roller shutter gone - Mits canopy fitted. Cobra front and rear stainless bars fitted. In the years to come, that front one took a lot of beating and saved a lot of damge being done.
Still on standard Bridgestone Duellers and a private plate - guess what the Mrs' name is .... :sunglasses:



CB fitted and BFG ATs on.




On a photo shoot for a Japanese car magazine - the photographer wanted to see some water splashed.

Guess where that bow wave went - right at the photographer .... :tearsofjoy:




More to follow.

Move forward to 2006, and off road kit starts to be added:
Asfir skid plates,
2" suspension lift
Poly bushes

It gets used for holidays and some off road play time of one sort or another.
