Copped my first 4x4
All my life I've owned petrol sedans/sporty cars, never owned a 4WD or a diesel car in my life before. I made a couple posts asking for advice on what's good out there. I was pretty keen on the D22 Navaras as they looked sick, simple and sturdy trucks.
A lot of people did tell me to stay away from them and go for others (as did some say the inverse) and while I looked around rigorously, in the end I did end up buying a D22 on a good deal and honestly, I'm so happy with it.
It drives so nicely with strong and smooth gearbox with a heavy-duty clutch. Had my mechanic look it over and says it's pretty mick. Also came with some tasty mods (suspension & body lift, exhaust, tub rack with the rooftop tent, UHF radio and GPS speedo to name some). To top it all off my misso thinks I look sexy driving a 4WD stick so that always help 😉.
From a Toyota Crown to a Navara, all-in-all I'm so happy with the cop, and look forward to some 4WD adventures in the great outdoors (first one this weekend up to pinnacles/Lancelin).
