See above .......

How much do old Mogs go for? may be an old Butter Box would be the go if you re not in a hurry to get anywhere, help if you owned an oil refinery too

nahh go that, depending on how offroad you want to go any of the smaller 4x4 trayback trucks should do you nicely and be a hell of a lot faster and more economical than a mog....

but for offroadability skip the 1700 army mog and go the 1750 RAAF mogs, better tyres and a slightly different engine thats a bit better off road and theres more of the 1750's with the winches on than the army 1700's and used properly its not a bad winch but it doesnt power out and its got really restricted pulling angles.

There are quite a few Isuzu 4x4 crew cab trucks in Govt. service around the country. They are regularly seen at auctions. Good base to carry a shed.

Not Landy related, but I have a yen, at some time in the future, to setup a 4WD motorhome/camper. Maybe a Hino/Mitsu/MAN/Isuzu or something similar and get hold of a 2nd hand van, knock off the running gear and mount it on the back of the truck. I reckon I could set up a pretty good rig for me and herself to do a bit of extended travelling/working in relative comfort.

Trouble is I don't really know where to start, esp with regard to the truck. Where would I look to get an idea of what's available and at what cost?

I've sorta got an idea I could set the lot up for maybe $60-70K. Am I dreaming? How would I go about getting someone who knows their stuff to give a prospective acquisition the once over.

Or maybe I should have another Bex, a cuppa and a lie down. .... do you think I'm or .

yes my great unc had an oka camper set up when we lived in the NT he came up for a few months extended holly,
and we travelled right though the territory "the thing went absolutly everywhere" top piece of gear
