What would you have

[Reads90]

Ok heres a question for you , which i may get **** taking for

What truck would you have if there were no Land Rover
:?:
Or rather what do you think is the second best truck behind Land Rover style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif :?:

[DEFENDERZOOK]

it would be an OKA or a 40series whatsie....

the 40 series looks like land rovers cousin.

the next best thing.

[incisor]

it's an OKA for me too thanks :wink:

[sniperator]

I will have an oka, already got one on my wish list now if i can only remember where i put that money tree.

and then a 40series

[Defender200Tdi]

Well I'm going to sound boring, but it's an OKA for me too. :roll:

And like almost everyone else, I'd like an OKA now anyway.

Although having thought about it a bit more...maybe a Pinzgauer would do the trick 8)

another vote for the pinny 8)

[Maggot4x4]

I'd have an F250 V8 Diesel as my tourer and a Wrangler as my play toy. But the best bit is the Rangie does both style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

[Greylandy]

Unimog for me thanks style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif .. lots of blokes in South-Africa spend big money restoring them ... you will also see at least one at the popular quaries to rescue the over enthusiastic. I like the concept of portal axles .. not that you need the additional clearance in a mog. :wink:

[BMac]

Probably a G-Wagon for me. Or a Scout ( soft top ) for fun.

Actually..... I don't want to think about it style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

Bruce.

[PeteH]

unimog for me :wink:

[Ace]

It would have to be a Jeep, or a GQ Patrol 4.2 Diesel, I dont like the Jap crap, but would choose a Patrol over a Cruiser anyday. Matt

[Yabbie]

http://www.witham-sv.com/vehicles/223.jpg

My pick would have to be one of these, I did have my eye on one but change my mind to the rangie cause its easier to park and the local cops wouldn't freak out as much.

It would have made light work of that puddle. Matt

[DaveS3]

GU Patrol ute.

GTR XU1 Torana

[VladTepes]

Unimogs, Pinzgauers (yummy), OKA's are all good but only as playthings or tourers not as an everyday vehicle.

The GQ Patrol is about as solid and dependable as any Japper has ever been. So, realistically, it might be one of those. (Shuddup Medic)

The old 40-series cruisers are great but that's coz they are (poor) imitations of Land Rovers -- just check out those flat sides, rear quarter windows etc etc.

To be different, I wouldn't mind one of those original (50 series ? - whatever they were called) LandCruiser station wagons. (Toyotas **** poor answer to the Rangie). But I'd drop in some portal axles.....

But medic, would you want to get Parking warden guts all over your new hummer? Matt

[DiscoTDI]

Id have to agree with medic, the hummer hold a certain hoon factor that appeals to me style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

[LandyAndy]

Sorry to say,you guys who picked the OKA would be quite upset with its performance on the dirt to what the paper states.
A mate had one of these from new,thought it would be unstoppable,it had twin difflocks.
The huge problem is its weight,it just digs in and bogs itself.I also have a mate who did an outback trip in an OKA "coach",their trip was cut short by 4 days because the OKA was bogged so much.
If it wasnt for LANDROVER I would want a a a a a .
Im not sure,MITSA****TY, been there got that NO , TOJO,NO,owned one and had one as a farm ute.****AN GU sorry no,we also had one of them on the farm,VERY OVER RATED.JEEP? never been near one so dont know.Always wanted an effie,but on the beach and everywhere else my chevy powered Tojo shorty wasted the 2 4WD effies my mates owned,also later had an effie (4.1 2WD) as a farm ute,what a chunk of pooooo.
All in all if nothing else was available,I think I could have my arm twisted enough to look at one of those new F250 turbodiesel.
At the moment I would like to FIND a bit of money to spend on a MODERN Defender style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

[VladTepes]

Mate of mine is a screw and he said the Hummers they had for perimeter patrol were always getting bogged and breaking down.

Now I believe they have unarmoured 'yotas all the better to be shot at in.

[DEFENDERZOOK]

apparently there is less room in the hummers drivers seat than the defender.

[VladTepes]

Yeah but the centre console is big enough to park a Volkswagen in.....

[DiscoTDI]

apparently those hummers are up for sale now

[hiline]

i would go the F250 also style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

I love the look of those early 70's Ford Bronco's; before they started looking like F150s.

[HSVRangie]

Hummer
Gwagon.


Michael.

[noddy]

G-wagen for the day-to-day/weekend play thing. And then a Mog for the touring vehicle.

You should see a pic below of mine at the German holiday house! :wink:

If they were good enough for the GruppenFurher they are good enough for me!

I wonder where the Germans got the idea for that.....

[noddy]

Vlad -- not so sure about it being a copy of the Fender.

The G-wagen was originally built, not by Mercedes Benz, but Steyr Puch (builders of the Haflinger and Pinzgauer) in Graz, Austria. While it was built in response to the SIII success in the military markets, much of its underpinnings date back to before WWII.

To say that it was a copy of the Defender might be pushing it a tad. With three diff locks as standard, I suspect it will comprehensively out perform a standard SIII or 'Fender' off-road.

I love my LRs, but if money was no object (and you could actually buy them in RHD), I would go for a g-wagen over the Fender.

[VladTepes]

Don't let facts get in the way of a good story. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif


I'd just add 2 diff locks to a 'fender.

Bloody Germans. Over-rated rubbish.
DOn't mention the war...
I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif


Seriously though, it does sound like an awesome vehicle but I still reckon the LR looks better.

What about the early Pootrols, if we werent land rover experts, you could pass them off as defenders, NEARLY. Matt

I'm relatively new here but I keep seeing Ace's sig and wonder has anyone told him it is possible to go Land Rovering with your pants off?

8O . There was an article in LROI about a couple who go green laning in the nude. Yep they do it totally nude once they get off the black top and away from civilisation. Not my cup of tea really, but thank for the suggestion anyway James. Matt

Youre not wrong DZ. How heavy are they? Matt

[DEFENDERZOOK]

looking at those tyres it probably exerts less ground pressure than the merc next to it.



as for green laning in the nude............we dont need to....just use the air con!

There was a 5.0L hilux in the burnouts at Kandos. Imagine the look on people faces if someone turned up with a blown series III trayback and took out the burnout comp. Matt
