Evening all! by Lee_R on Fri Feb 26, 2010 11:59 pm
Well, 4-5 weeks scouring every free ad, car sale site and auction available and I've finally found what (I think...) I was after - an old 4x4 with all the important bits seemingly working, and rather a "loved" appearance, thus leading to a 500 note price tag :D Have been searching for something to use for humping dive gear and driving boats in and out of the sea and the Fronty seems to fit the bill.

Signed up to the group a while ago and have used a lot of what you guys have posted to learn the ins/outs of the Fronty and what to look for, so just wanted to say a big thanks, and I'm looking forward to hopefully being able to give a little back as mine slowly falls to bits and I figure out the easy/cheap fixes for it.

Many thanks for the info so far - great forum,

Lee

Welcome to FOG. Your Fronty certainly does fit the bill as thats exsactly what i bought mine for putting my boat in and out the water did it with ease and it had a front towbar.

Good luck with yours mate you wont regret it..
