Was it the year of the big flood that the Magna made it in and out?

Don't think it matters what the badge is, none of them work as well as a lsd.

If I get stuck you can all make fun of me. :oops:

It has so many 4x4 settings it'll take me a bit to figure it all out. :?

It is shit. Might not be as bad in a manual because it will stall but in an auto it cuts all power until you stop and then applies full power to dig a hole

love my cruiser,no problems at all and will tow and cart anything ive thrown at it.
it just doesnt have the legs to take on trucks past 120kph [towin a trailer]
ive driven modern utes and i know theyve got plenty get up and go [with more to go wrong and at more cost]
but i still wouldnt pass up a good 79td cruiser.
