That looks nice, just scoot underneath and check its sound, you dont want to be chasing rust every mot...
 
Yeah nice looking truck, fixed front hubs too so no need to worry about the autolocking hubs. Front propshaft and drivershafts are driven by the wheels all the time on the later ones. This can cause wear on the uj's and cv's, the front drive shaft has a sliding joint that can wear too. This causes a hum and vibration that builds after about 40mph, easy to replace propshaft though. Happened on mine and at least one other member on here around similar time as mine.
Check the lcd display in speedo cluster, can lose segments. People have fixed those on here too with a simple soldering iron.

Ah okay so is it better to go for an older model eith the autolocking hubs? Im completely new to 4x4s so dont have a clue
 
Hi Bud,

Welcome to the forum :thumbs

Just one word against the T2 - RUST !

Check, check and treble check underneath for rust - chassis, cross members (the one that holds up the radiator, seat belt anchor points, floor etc), the front wings are favourite to rust under the plastic trims and they are like rocking horse doo doo to get second hand, so plastic is an option. But I am sure that others will point out where to look. The link that you posted, that looks nice and tidy from above.

I see it has got the man steps... :naughty

I got mine as a family hand me down as he could not drive it any longer. I used to have a Toyota HiLux Surf which I loved, had to sell that along with my Honda Super Blackbird CBR1100xx when I went self employed :(

I nearly love my T2 as much as my old Surf :augie

Anyway enjoy your new ride what ever one you get, there are plenty of guys on here that will assist if you need to know anything :bow

Hi lads. So its taking a Long time to sell my van being the holidays and all.

Theres a 2001 3.0 gr near me with 120000 and good history the guy wants£ 2950

That sound an ok deal? Its in good nick underneath and drives nice

Early 3.0 Trol, that's the danger age for the 3.0 Trols...

Not all of the early 3.0s were bad but a lot of them were as the engine design wasn't quite up to scratch (it was improved 2003). You could be fine as there are a few guys on here with early 3.0s but it is a risk bud :nenau
 
Ahh okay sound, m looking at 3.5k max due to an expensive xmas holiday so should I go for a 2.8?
 
Morning and welcome.
If you go TROL you won't look back.
I love my TROL.
Does everything I want and puts a big grin on my chops :thumb2

Unfaithful Jeep Driver.

I drive a Jeep but inside my head it's a Patrol I just can't tell her because she would break down on me if I did.
 
Hey so saw two pa trols at the weekend one smoked like heck and the other was gutless but the size is awsome.

Im off Thursday for another trol roadtrip so heres hoping.

And of course im going to join up asap.
