One of the things I've found out driving a shogun is that some parts are expensive but you very rarely have to change them

I've never had to change a brake disc — pads yes but not discs

Service kits and timing belts are comparitable

But I don't have to keep a stock of diffs or half shafts (though I ain't stupid enough not to)

Most parts for landies are cheap purely because there is a high turnover of them (and are now probably manufactured in China anyway)
