It's funny, my cousin is in a light vehicle 2nd tier assembly shop (think cab chassis conversions to minespec) out WA - they don't touch Rangers or Hilux's now even if the customer tries to insist. ...

Just had a look around at 4x4 vans - only listed option is the VW but it's AWD (4-Motion) not "4x4". Slim pickings it seems, I knew a few forestry boys who used to swear by the old Toyotas and Mitsi...
