    Spend a small fortune for what amounts to a 1800's cart, with major design flaws in the suspension(ie. rear track) and call it brilliant!

    Umm, yeah! ... totally unbiased

    Agreed and the troopy isn't my cup of tea BUT if you want an overland tourer with big load capacity for weight and space for rear and roof the D4 isn't the right vehicle. Andrew is into heaps of room and load. Personally I would have done a 110.

    Can't buy Troopies in SA so he had to come to Perth to buy it. Said Australia has more accessories available for it than anywhere else do he would have the rear track widened and lots of other things fitted. I assume it will then be shipped to SA for him to use there.

    Nope - he's left South Africa (& England) behind and has bought a house in Perth, so he's emigrated here!

    If a new Defender was available,i bet he would have had a good look at one before buying the Tojo.

    As for the front and rear tracking differences,i bet 90% of owners wouldn't know about it,or even notice.

    Even though it is ridiculous it has been left like it is by the manufacturer.

    Actually,some of the leaf sprung patrols were the same.

    Only if he fit a pop top...my bet is his troopy will have a Alu-cab Poptop fitted
