That's a complete lie, I know the guy who did the rural meter reading right around the east coast, tolaga bay to te kaha. Typical days work was a single meter box running a pump miles from nowhere. East coast clay farm tracks every day, rocky beach driving, even low tide mud flat crossing to one particular meter. What did they use? Stock Jimnys with muddies on. They replaced a bunch of ln106 luxes with the Jimnys because they were sick of either repairing them, winching them or calling for recovery!
The only problem with owning a Jimmy is, well, you look like a meter reader
Oh and they certainly float. Easily fixed with the addition of an outboard on the tow bar however!
