Small cheap 4x4 for forestry/arb in Highlands

[DaveC]

Hello...

I'm after a small cheap (!) 4x4 for forestry and arb work in the Highlands. Normally there's a long drive to work on roads, then some short off-road on forest or estate tracks which can be muddy or snowy.

Ideally it would have diff lock and decent clearance.

It doesn't need to be a pickup, I have an L200 now but end up piling my gear on the back seats so it gets dried by the blowers.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Undoubtedly the way to go , the others are both reasonable options but wont go anywhere near as well off road and the fourtrak is 2.8 anyway .

I missed out an 01 TD5 commercial over here last weekend with less than 100 thousand mile , four new tyres ,12 month test and part service history for 2700 (less than2K £)Euro. Still kicking myself .

I cant bring myself to part with my disco commercial. If time permits its getting a makeover and shoved back on the road.

for me it would be a jimny. Probably more reliable than a land rover.

Disco is good, jimney too if you can handle the small size,they are very reliable, and exceptional off road.
