[QUOTE="SneakyCuttlefish, post: 349137, member: 3340"] Toyota's are over priced. Good car and reliable but nearly 10 -15k dearer than their nearest competitors (thats the second hand market btw). I bought a navara d22 3ltr. (made sure I got a later version without the detonating engine) 12k with 145,000 on the clock. 1 owner. Immaculate condition. It's never missed a beat and never let me down. Pushing 300,000 now. Just had to overhaul the suspension to make it more suitable for the rough stuff. Snake racing control arms for the 3" lift, EFS suspension, idler arm brace, air lockers, 2" body lift. The usual stuff for serious terrain. Only gripe is she's a bit gutless on the highway when fully loaded with camping gear. Anyway point of the rant is this.... You can buy and build a reliable, tricked out rig with all the bells and whistles for the same price as a stock-as-a-rock landy (good nick, good year) that still needs all the coin spent on it to set it up for serious touring. Seems like a no brainer to me. [/QUOTE]
