Nice rig bloke. I drive an old 60 series with 14 plies now, but used to own a brand spanker Wrangler Sport Auto..It served me well throughout Western NSW- many years in the shearing sheds. Capable and tough. Out pig shooting the drop-doors were perfect. But my woolpresser was a terrible shot so I ran more down than he shot. My Toyota is also auto. Toyota 5 speeds are pigs of things. Up in the NT on cattle stations driving 75 series. You go into a staight-sided creek with a sand bottom...and try to get 1st gear to go up the other side...if you miss your out with the winch. An auto means you don't miss the gear and keep your momentum. I smashed my front end up on a 'roo first trip out, so made my own(non airbag compliant) Bullbar..anyway just 'cause they all swear by Toyota/Minelab doesn't make it gospel.
