I bought mine mainly for carrying 4 candidates and kit into the woods. Didn't fancy a double cab pick up. It's also got the benefit of all the 6 rear seats folding flat to make a bed for when i do the odd trip to the coast.

That's right, mostly shogun running gear. Mines insured for business and personal use work my Mrs as second driver for just over £500 per year. There are a few companies that insure Jap imports. Nothing "grey market" about it to my knowledge. Mine was registered in the UK in 2018

Locking centre diffs in both High or Low range. Thirsty motor though

Sounds like you need a Delica!

No it's not. Kram invented it.

Look at a Volvo XC series. They have a few sizes. Lovely motors.

We could've inflated a blimp with the breath we've wasted mate.

Can't help but laugh. The OP is certain he can improve on industry standard kit, for less money, then complains when his own ideas aren't up to his standards.

It is, if you're a rat

You'd be fine with a decent springer for ratting. I got my Walther Rotex RM8 .177 with a decent scope, moderator, bipod and gun slip for £500 second hand. Took it down the range and it was easily outshooting my mates AirArms which cost double. If you want cheap night vision go for a red lamp. If you're prepared to spend more look for a decent used day/night optic.

What rifle did you go for in the end? Have a look at the DNT Zulus. Lots of bang for your buck so to speak. Make sure you don't go for the 5x mag instead of the 3x by mistake. That's just an IR torch, you'd need the day/ night optic to go with it. Most newer day/night scopes have that built in which is fine for ratting distance.

We'll digress as we like, until told otherwise by management, thanks!

Gotta watch those industrious buggers

Does that ring have a CE mark or EN number on the other side?

Is that Bob of this parish, AspenArb? I've no idea, i think mines probably the short wheelbase or whatever is standard. Many parallels with the Shogun in terms of running gear and suspension. A few things that will need someone familiar with jap imports.
