As far as parts being hard to find - well, my previous buggy was a '87 Saab 900 - I loved that car, but I never even bothered to try to work on it myself - took it to a pro, 'cause he knew where to get the parts. Rust finally destroyed the suspension, so I got me a Toy - and am mostly pleased with it so far. But if you think that finding parts for a T100 is tough, well....

I'm glad it's been good so far Danno, and I hope you stick around. I used to be on a very tight dirtbike forum and I probably just got spoiled... I've been discouraged by the high turnover here over the last couple of years. Most people make their post, get their answer, and move along... but I've been seeing more of the same names recently, so perhaps as the T ages more people will be needing more frequent help!
I should be more specific about parts- they're a breeze to find through a dealer and can be had for the right price from a shipping junkyard. Things like gas tanks, bedsides, tailgates, which were only used on the T100 and never non-oem'ed can be very expensive to get.
Sorry for the thread hijack. The T is a great truck and if it's the right size for you than I don't think it can be beat in gas mileage or reliability.
Cheers,
Rob
