How many of you own a 4x4

[White Noise]

110 Tipper Landy with chip box . Fitted with Husky Winch and Brownchurch roof rack . Not the most comfortable vehicle but it earns the money. Has an in house service every 3 months . We are now considering Transit crewcab or maybe be a Hilux / l200 4x4 I think its a man thing

i used to drive one of those for a company i worked for. in fairness it never gave us any trouble at all....was reasonable off road though not exceptional...but most of all, the fuel economy was amazing!

Evening Mr Bullman The fuel costs are really frugal ( cool word ) . When its full its like a boat all over the place . Parts are cheap and theres spares almost everywhere you look .Would be cool to have a warm comfortable work truck in my old age .

A 4x4 is next on the shopping list,I can borrow a couple of quads or a ford ranger or a landy when i need one and own a tractor but its not the same...hopefully i will replace the tranny with a 130 tipper this year,idealy i would like a mog but dont want to get sucked in to expensive repairs and the thought of only travelling 40mph and been thirsty on diesal and the initial expense of buying one puts me off!

Interesting. I'm thinking of replacing my landies with 2 isuzus for the economy reasons (and the road manners)

[Steve Bullman]

and the vauxhall isuzus?

[Mr Ed]

same vehicle's I think.

[Steve Bullman]

are the vauxhalls still being made? see precious few of them about. if i remember right the one i used to drive was on an L plate..unlikely its the same as the current isuzu pickup

i used to have a rodeo, it was ok, sounded like a tractor,top end was about 60 comfortably but sore on fuel.full tank was about 300 miles. towed well.

He He! Is that a weaver harness you are sporting in your avatar?

 

It is, and very nice after wearing a T22 for years.
