what vehicle

[Lewdan 17]

thinking of getting a 4x4 to get across my shoots easier ( getting on a bit now ) i know this may have been asked before, but just wondered what type of vehicles all you other hunters use, pehaps i can get some ideas on what to get for myself No serious off road work, just across fields and along farm tracks (quite rutted in the wet )

 

Cheers

I have a Nissan X-Trail, excellent on road and excellent off road IF you change the boots, otherwise useless off road! The Sat Nav is about as useful as a chocolate fireguard...bit of a tarts motor really...but hey...I like it....suspect you may get better help/advice if you post here....

 

4x4's, Quads & ATV's

if you want cheap try and find either an old sj suzuki or a subaru pickup with a tidy set of tyres it will go anywhere without spending a fortune or a hilux best of luck with what ever you choose

most people will sasy get a l200 or a navara or sum thing along the lines but if you ask any one whos had a defender 90 compeared to one of them jap things theres no contest not saying that jap stuff dosent do the job its just a defender can do any thing the jap stuff dose but with less haste

[mattydski 560]

Defender 90

Not the best looking, not cheepest, not the most economical, not the most comfy, not the most practical etc.

 

JUST THE BEST.

 

Why?

 

It just is alright...

I aint going to repeat my self

I've got a Shogun 3.2 with BF Goodrich A/T's, fantastic vehicle for crossing fields etc. Plus very reliable, I have done 75,000 in mine I know of some with well over 175,000 on the clock which have not had any prob's at all. Can't say the same for my last 4 vehicles all Land Rovers. That said, if you're good at fixing vehicles yourself (I'm not) a Defender or Disco 300 would do the job. A friend of mine has put BF Goodrich A/T's on a Suzuki Jimny, it's amazing where that thing will go now. Good luck with your search.

Can't beat a suzuki Jimny. Small (1.3 litre) engine so won't cost much to run. Full 4x4 transfer box and really light, so with a decent set of tyres will go even where the big 4x4's can't. Only downside is lack of boot space but if you're travelling alone or even with a companion, just fold the back seats down.

Good luck choosing.

Richie, did you used to own a vitara? If so, what was it like, fuel/repairs etc? Jimny outside my budget.
