It's funny you mention Rosco! Bit of a lottery here with what you get spec-wise. Some come with spare on a rear door and a 2nd tank, some with high level LED brake light etc, some with rev counter. I sort of lost on the lottery and ended up with as basic a basic troopy can be. Didn't bother me as I was happy to get one in stock before they went all funny at the front and lost the good old 7" round headlamps

I had a rethink and only the RV models usually a HDJ78 or FZJ78 had the roof LED brake light.
I know what you mean about the differences,some Euro models only have one light in the rear bumper.
I noticed the new models have a rear window wiper.Im not sure if they are the 1st,but a window demister on the rear doors would be nice when you have 11 people on board.
Not having the rev counter is a surprise. All 7* models and spec levels have them here right back to their intro.
I am not a fan of the 07 model front,but a V8 would be nice on the road.:coffeedrink:
Some owners who have owned the old models and the new V8 model say the V8 motor is harder to control in slippery offroad situations.
Does yours have discs all round?

No disks! Unlike in Oz, we get real basic drums on pretty much everything... Even the last of the 105 Stds have drums, the GX got disks. I have had both and to be honest apart from the ABS of the GX I couldn't really see any difference. The 'spec' of my 105 you would not believe - no steps, no stereo, no rear wiper, no rear demister, no freewheel hubs! I am not complaining at all, but with a big wide 105 central locking would be the only thing really missing.
I didnt know the 105 could be so basic.
When you say no free wheeling hubs,do you mean they are permanently locked like an old jeep.
I tend to agree the disc brakes are not a big improvement,my 73 series with rear drums has a nicer pedal and maybe stops better.
Although discs shed heat quicker than drums making the discs better when towing through hills
