      I love the sound of a fat 79 but prefer a 4 cylinder for touring. Less breakages and double the miles per dollar.

    I looked at the Mahindra back in 2012 . . . there wasn't a lot of information or accessories available out on them back then, but once the Mining Industry started using them . . . bits and pieces started popping up everywhere.
    As things go, I'm in a Ex Electrical Authority GU Patrol Ute now, but My Son is looking at buying his first 4WD in 2022, and for price and build strength, he is looking at the Mahindra. Will be interesting to watch your build Roothy.

      In India, Tatas and Mahindra make very good cars, durable and Reliable vehicle but still they are struggling.
      Because of dealers and after sales service, rip off customers.
      You can buy Mahindra / Tata spare parts on eBay. Directly.
      Better to depend on yourself than on company or dealership network.
      Give preference to your own TRUSTED mechanic rather than Company appointed private Dealers.
      My solution is buy Tata and Mahindra, but don’t depend on free dealer services as they rip off customer..
      Get the servicing and maintenance done by some local TRUSTED mechanic.
      Best selling Mahindra pick-up in India
      Mahindra Bolero Camper Pickup
      Mahindra Bolero Maxitruck Plus Pickup.
      Mahindra Bolero Pickup ExtraStrong Pickup.
      Mahindra Bolero Pikup 4×4 Pickup
      Mahindra Supro Maxitruck Pickup
      Mahindra Supro Minitruck Pickup.
      Mahindra pick-up here in India is selling for Rs ( Means Rupees )
      Rs 7,00,000 to Rs 8,00,000
      But I don’t know the price they are selling in Australia. You can convert the above amount into your currency. As I have told earlier once you buy these vehicles, you are on your own.
      Because here in India after sales service provided by private Dealers is pathetic and car buyers get tipped off. So I gathered, people better TRUST their local mechanic rather than the company or private dealership. Here in India a large number of private companies Manufacture spare parts of Mahindra and Tatas vehicle.
      So their spare parts would be much cheaper and widely available than OEM Manufactured by companies.
      I know people in India, who are still using 30 year old Honda motorcycles and spares are purchased from local Manufacturers. So you can buy a very popular model of Mahindra or Tata vehicles and keep using them for a very long time. As spares would always be available as they will be Manufactured by other private companies. You can buy spares online. Without being dependent on private dealership
      Actually Indian Vehicles are more cheaper, reliable and durable than Japanese / Korean Vehicles.
      But Japanese and Korean Manufacturers give better After sales service at their dealerships.
      Problem with Indian vehicles is that a lot of poor people especially those in transport sector buy these vehicles and dealerships can be heavily crowded with Taxi drivers / pick-up truck drivers and you will find yourself one amongst them.
      Most educated people in India don’t want to be counted amongst Taxi and Truck Drivers. So again sales of the Indian vehicle suffers.
      Japanese and Korean cars are overpriced and private Dealers treat their customers better as they have brought **EXPENSIVE** vehicles.

    You really don't have to worry too much about your new toy, these things are tuff and durable. The M Hawk 2.2s are a 500,000k motor. Change oil and filter every 5k, you know the rest. You won't be needing to wrench on this any time soon. Enjoy your new car. I have a 2.8ltr Cummins and I did not go over two and half thousand revs for the first 40,000ks, it pays to run it in for a long time, now I am getting 8.0lts per 100ks, cruises happily at 100ks at 1700rpm stay safe

    Roothy I highly recommend giving ceramic coating a try. I've had Avalon King (from the States) on my new Mazda for two years and I swear by it. Dirt doesn't easily cling to the surface and so a lot of it is just washed away by water. It helps keep the exterior cleaner (i.e. less car wash maintenance!) and increases the life of the paint by a number of years.

I changed it a bit, didn't like the solenoid box on the bull bar, there's a spot behind the bullbar thats just the right size for it (and threaded) if you take it out of the plastic box, then I just ran extra wire for the plug and mounted the plug only on the bull bar, much nicer and room for a light bar that I'll add later.
