Its hard to see. But at the front I have a wheel grab built for the front of the tray so I can carry my toys with me as I go from job to job. It prevents any headboard unless I want to weld one into a headboard but it will take up a lot of space. I have a bike trailer now so not using the ute for bikes. I'll take the wheel grab off and probably end up rebuilding the tray and change it up a bit. New taillight setup, headboard, respray etc.... I have had my eye on some new wheels too!!.

I only wish they still made them... I am lost as to what to buy now and for this reason have held off upgrading to newer cars!.

only pic I can find of the FPV at the minute. This is it in the poor man's Winnebago mode... rear end of G6E was sitting up due to the airbags at rear. I had just towed so they were pumped up a bit.

I have a 2008 G6E, Lowered on superlows with Bilstein shocks rolling on 20 inch Koya's. It still rides nicely especially given the wheel size. only gripe I have is the camber wears the inners out on the front tyres prematurely. but it looks nice, handles well and is heaps comfortable. I have done 30 hour trips solid in it and it has remained comfy. Utes however are a different kettle of fish. I have put 3 different setups in my 2012 FPV GS and it still rides like a bulldozer on a landmine... love that beast but I cringe at driving it on the rural roads around where I live.

Mine is an FG. Its a 2008 model. Ive towed my boat up the guts of Australia with it and back. Easily one of the best cars I have ever owned. Its not as quick as my gs, but its a car I can be lazy with when I want and its heaps comfy even though its lowered on 20's. If I buy another one ill get one that's in need of turbo replacement. Buy cheap factoring in that cost and install a turbo upgrade upfront which saves me money later on.

Mine has over 200K kms on it, Basically stock except for replacement turbo approx. 80 thousand k's ago. I've not ever questioned a price tag on maintaining it to date. Purchased with 70 thousand kms, it has been driven across Australia in heat, cold, slow, fast and towed my boat. I would have no issues selling it onto my mother given its condition. People often spin out when they find out how old it is!. If the car seems legit and you're serious about it, splurge on an inspection at a mechanical workshop with some knowledge on them for piece of mind.
