treecreeper 1,136 Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 anyone got or had one of these? Had enough of bottoming my car out down tracks and ripping seats out for tackle and dog etc. Don't do a lot of miles really as have a van for work so will only be used for family hols fishing and shooting etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rake aboot 4,935 Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 yup, had one and it was a great motor. Word of advice though. If you`re thinking about one of these, then seriously consider just getting an L200. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
treecreeper 1,136 Posted September 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) I looked at the L200 but doesn't it have a window/bulkhead between the back and the cabin? Edited September 27, 2014 by treecreeper Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smasher 1,055 Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 There not a bad motor,as 4x4's go there handy on juice 28-33 mpg,not bad off road with decent tyres on,word of note tho,take care in the wet on roundabouts but the same can prob be said about most lwb 4x4's,on the downside the heads are known for cracking about the 120,000 mile mark, 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
