If you go suzuki get the grand vitara has the steel diff housing in the front instead of the standard alloy that snaps pretty easy

Isn't it funny on people's standards of what a 4wd needs to be its like guns one will say all you need is a gun and bullets and learn to shoot others will be it has to be custom or it won't shoot straight all will get you a deer out to 300 but the custom will go further and a little easier and be nicer to use. But at the end of the day it's what you want to do and need it to do
I’ve had hilux (too hard on my repaired back) a Suzuki Grand Vitara (thirsty as) and d-max. The Suzie was most impressive in the sands of Rangipo near Waiouru and easily matched, if not bettered my sons Prado on the route we took. I still have an unfitted snorkel kit here.
just wish they would put the vitara motor in the jimny !
be a drop in juice from my legacy 3.0 but the roads are so crap it doesnt matter
What ya reckon about refreshing an ln106 2.8 and putting a turbo on it?
Looking at the kaiapoi lads and they get some impressive results .
I'm not a big lwadfoot these days but towing the trailer in the highway is painful with 65kw!

I have a petrol VX Prado. It's not a daily driver but a weekend toy for fishing and hunting trips. Bloody comfy and plenty of herbs under your right boot. Fuel costs don't really worry me and it's only used occasionally anyway. It's just ticking over at 100km/hr. Some of these in the outback have over a million kms on them, if you service them well.
