Thread: Touring 4wd, what would you buy?

Very cool

I like that a lot.

Good size, isn't it. Bigger than a 130, but smaller than a UniMog. Probably faster than both as well!

And options that include PTO, front and rear lockers, it all looks good. And not having gas to cook with is clever, 10 days of power with only solar chargers,... Good grunty engine too. The Canters have been around for ages, they are a well proven vehicle design.

I couldn't find anything on their site about security but it does look pretty robust. Some parts of the world, you would want strong door locks and maybe window bars/screens.

$ 28,000 all up and you have THIS Canter ready to go

For the open road a Honda Goldwing would be my choice for touring.

Hi All

Just a few points from myself and friends views, 6x6 landys are good but the oka's are better in the bush and thats running them side by side.

The 4 litre perkins oka isnt powerful enough and they need a lot of maintenance - greasing etc also they they fog out the diffs from lots of ofroad use - think new housings.

Personally i'd run from a mercedes, the toyotas are early ones are tough including on me and the later ones soft and still have crap seats.

I'd rather have a land rover to go off road than any of the japanese vehicles and take your pick of the coilers but having said that i went through the daintree in a series 3 hardtop and enjoyed it.

Whatever you buy, THIS is what you put on it

they'll do it in either a Deefer 130 with more space, or a toyota 79 which will be much easier to find parts for internationally at least (I'm assuming you mean REAL touring).

A mog would be amazing, and some amazing kit outs, but hard to negotiate around Paris, or tricky Himalayan passes. Pretty hard to go go past tho if you had the cash.
