Twitch 13 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 ^^^^ looks very tidy and fun for off-roading! -- you could do a lot worse than that for 1200! Quote Link to post

Don 5 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 What exactly do you want from the motor? What sort of off roading will it have to handle? Will it be used solely as a dog wagon and not everyday/work motor? This might help folks narrow it down for you. A scooby will be f**k all good for you if the terrain your covering is a bit intense, deep mud, steep inclines etc but would be spot on for your average flatland farms. Alot of choice with the twin cab pick ups but I think the Hilux is generally considered the most reliable and the L200 is cheap for a reason (although there are good ones). A Disco is the daddy for off roading in your price range but have their problems. Another to consider would be a Trooper. Just a few that come to mind.... Hi mate, yes is would be a general dog wagon, got a transit for work which I run about in, the permision i've got is some grass paddocks which are reasonably flat, but it looks like I'm getting a fair few acre on a farm in the Weardale which is predominatley hill sheep country. What do you mean by a 'scooby' Quote Link to post

What do you mean by a 'scooby' Scooby is a Subaru mate. And tbh it sounds like you would be better off with something with better ground clearance anyway. Not to mention they attract attention from the police whether you are a law abiding lurcherman or not! Quote Link to post

Well i'm reasonably law abiding..lol can't/dont want to have me car or dogs taken of me so I try to keep on the straight & narrow as much as possible, still can't beat a bit of freelancing now and again.
