I have noticed a fair few tradies today using VY-Z and BA tonners that have replaced their old HQ-WB tonners. I've asked a few why, and it solely came down to availabilty ond cost of parts. They used to buy $100 doors or seats to pass rego, but those parts are now $500 an not available off the shelf like they used to be. Same tradies "tried a Jap ute, damn diesel piece of cr@p spent more time being fixed than working". Problem is these guys want to drive the things, service them each blue moon and fix them themselves when they break, you can't do that with a modern common rail or even with the petrol Hiluxes. I had to tell a bricky that does a fair bit of work for me that his 3.5L Rodeo his brother gave him will need to have coolant kept up to it or it'll corrode out on him, won't go for 6 years on just tap water like his 253 HZ did!
