[QUOTE="user 12139, post: 630654, member: 12139"] seen the HJ series regularly up over 600k on untouched donks. Oil and all filters done religiously. Company desert whoopies, had one of the best mechanics Australia ever produced looking after them. We thrashed them like they were stolen! One time I returned to the yard past the managers office, he came out to see why the right rear was way higher than the rest of the vehicle. Leaf spring shackle flipped its pivot point and locked the spring hard against the chassis... loaded up and airborne over quite a few dunes on my way back to base trying to catch my flight out home. Haha, good ol' days. Trolley jack under its butt and she popped back in place - all good see ya next hitch.. I was gone. Not hard to rebuild and get another 600k either if you maintain them properly The carpark up the Cooper Basin in its day would have had easily 1000 4WDs parked up of a night time, majority HJs. At one point Hiluxes, Mavericks and all sorts of other crap started creeping into the carpark, wasnt too long before they all disappeared and where replaced with HJs! Best 4WD by far! [/QUOTE]
