Jeep or unimog.
As a direct replacement?
I am debating this very thing ATM. I'll need a diesel for touring so it's; weigh up the TD5vTDI Disco (anybody seen that thread?:p) but the jury's still out. Otherwise I'd look at 4.2TD in either a Toyo or a Nissan (same-same really). But that would be boring and well it would be boring.
Won the lotto on the weekend?
A Mog, fitted out with a house on the back, pulling a trailer with Sierra with everything, and an R100GSPD (before they got too porky) and say an XT/DR/KLR650 whatever for her.
And I'd cover them all with stickers from remote locales!:D
OKA... oh wait you said same price range...
I'd consider one of those forward control dual cab nissan trucks... but I'd prefer a Gee vagen :)
I'm with you on this one. ;)Quote:

mmmm, I could possibly be tempted by something big. But it's have to be big, as in a whole, discrete, step up in size. But that's only a maybe for a maybe. :)
hang on, why am I thinking about this? has someone gone and pinched the SIII? :mad:
No way would i be buying a nistoy whatever, as Mcrover an inter scout with removeable hardtop would be fun. For a family wagon a subie outback would suit at the moment.
Patrol 4.2
I would say a GU Patrol. I would probably take the 4.2 over the 3.0 due to the problems that were had with the 3.0 engine.
Would have to go for a Pinzgauer or a Volvo 303 to replace the trusty 101FC GS:p
79 series RV tray back, the 1HT-FTE's are, well, Fantastic
But would need to be converted to a 5 speed auto from a 100 series:D
And air bag the ass end:eek:
Can't say factory lockers are a bad thing, better than traction control:angel:
A Ford Bronco either with a 351, Auto with a 200L LPG tank in the rear (like the last one) or with the Perkins 6 with an Auto, great off-road, look great and go like a scalded cat, easy and cheap to repair and maintain and don't cost a bundle to buy, Regards Frank.
