Thread: Thinking about a change - Safari or something else?

The biggest complaint Nissan fans live to make about Landcruisers is that the diffs are weaker and COMPETITION TRUCKS ARE ALL NISSANS I READ IT IN A 4WD MAGAZINE FURTHERMORE

I've been driving various Landcruisers for work since 2008, seen probably hundreds of them and done a loooot of Ks in them

Things I have seen wrong with them:

-fuel gauges stop working
-aircon pulley bearing goes
-handbrakes are shit
-79 series clutches go
-starter motors don't like lots of water crossings
-radiator fans can pull into radiator core on deep water crossings
-a few bent tie rods
-1 fucked leaf spring when a geophysics crew went through a washout at like 100ks
-1 bent diff housing when a safety officer hit a giant anthill at like 80ks dafter driving off a corner
-3 rollovers all of which drove away after being righted with not much damage beyond glass
-1 100 series with 1hz that got a mouthful of water while parked in a river, was still running 14 months later when I last saw it, just blew smoke in the morning


Never actually seen any evidence of these weak diffs etc
