Quite a lot of beer tolkens compared to 10 year ago prices, don't under value it! Check ebay, £5-10K I'd say?

Ignore him Durham, he knows not what he says. It's worth £2k tops, PM me.

Haha; I mean...

Here's a picture of Fluffy. Picked her up last week - a 1995 Landcruiser FZJ 80 with a straight six petrol engine and autobox. 101k on the clock - just run in.
I've previously had a '98 Landcruiser 90 diesel, a Shogun and lots of Subarus. Never had a car built quite like this though - it's a tank.
Mods will consist of chunkier tyres more suitable for winter - it currently has two ecosavers and two michelin tyres on it - and that's it I'm afraid. Needs some basic maintenance - fix a couple of oil leaks, change the ATF etc, but it seems solid and plods along at 70 quite happily. Dinitrol is here ready for me to get stuck into the chassis - it's been a city car so there is minimal rust underneath - am planning on keeping it that way

Took a wee detour on my way home for some snaps of the Jimny on its new wheels and rubber.

I bought this a couple of weeks ago. I had truly forgotten how basic they are.

I have had several 200 and 300 TDI defenders in the past and subsequently replaced those with a plethora of discoveries over ten years before settling on my current ML

The general components are appalling for a recently produced vehicle. What were Land Rover thinking about !

My boss’s new toy.



It’s hiding my trooper which is pretty much dead.

G'Day!

I'm standing at the top of that very slippery slope called "4WD mods!"

Have you noticed how everything is getting bigger?

It's this new PC monitor
Tell you what, I have now cleaned and waxed my 'new' 1995 Landcruiser - I needed stepladders for the bonnet, never mind the roof. Bloody huge.
Those Fords up close in person aren't much bigger than the standard HiLux/Navara stuff but Ford's designers have made them look like US monster trucks in photos - very clever. I really like the look of them.

Certainly noticed the difference parking and manoevring the work ute when we changed from a late 90s Hilux to an '07! Mind you I also noticed quite a difference going up hills...

This thread needs a bump. I found a couple of old photos on my phone of testing the articulation of the Terrano when I first got it.

IFS front end doesn't have much, but the rear does ok for a standard old wagon with pretty good road manners.

Not as extreme as some but the drive over the mountain was fun...

Here's mine; Pedro the Baja Bug :-)
Off road credentials include crossing the Baluchistan desert in Pakistan and driving over the Himalayas in Nepal and Tibet. That was back in 2009 when I drove from the UK to Singapore. I'm now short-listed for funding to go and drive around South America, including some pretty remote trails I've found through the Amazon rainforest. If anyone would like to support me with a vote for Travel Bug that'd be awesome:

Good luck, what awesome adventures. I have a soft spot for Baja Bugs!

Cool! The 2CV I did that trip in (Ok, we only went to Nepal. ) was the same colour.
