Now please help. Oh an sorry if these Qu have been already asked new to the site an still learning my way around..

Looking at up dating at prez Currently have a 105 landcrusier, locked lifted 3'in to fit the 33 boots under the guards an it's used well an truely for what it was made 4 bush/mud hill driving in the hi country.

Now i have my eyes on the new disco 4........... but can it replace a already well set up 4x4????

AND what problems do i have or should know about to concider the ifs or if nots.

looking at the set up,, tyres i'm think will be a bit of a problem due to rim size an then cost, as would need some mud grade boots for where i like to go an play.

Any help here an other treads to read or look at. test driving tomorrow.oh an what extra's would be a MUST have:angel: thanks

Maybe you will get a biased response here.

Try asking the same question on a Toyota Forum.

6 months into D4 ownership no issues great car. I have an SE TDV6 3.0 awesome power, great tow vehicle.

Wheels: Join the group buy for some 18's and stick mud tyres on them.

Yeh understand about the toyo an landy thing ha. But you answer are what i'm looking 4. like no real problems etc. As haven't found 1 that hasn't had it "issue". e.g 200 LC an oil... I'm not 1 to really care about the label on the front just care about my 4x4 doing what i want it to do. i would hate to spend big $$ $then find out its really more just of a tourer an doesn't like to play hard. I would be expecting more then 1 or to battle scares, proof that i'm having real fun. found some good pic's so far though on the site.

I did read one guy in the UK was unhappy with his D4 off road...

The reason...

It was simply to easy. The D4 removed the challenge in going off road because it was simply so capable.

Also make sure you get a rear locker as part of your order. It can't be fitted later.
