Thread: Suzuki Jimny

I still have an old stock Escudo with ATs and it has certainly left a few big 4x4s trapped in the sand/mud. Unfortunately they don't have enough power to pull out a stuck Landcruiser. They do have a 1600 that has a bit more poke than the Jimny but they need lifting if you want to do deep ruts.

Best hunting 4x4 was a mates RL Bedford, horrifically loud (diesel conversion) but there's nothing like turning up to a hut with the lawnmower, a BBQ and chainsaw! Fly fishing of the back deck in the middle of a river is quite possible.

Man after reading this there are some sickos on here, vws land crabs and fuckin Bedfords
Get help boys get help

Once you've seen how much flex there is in the bedford chassis you'd know why they could get places

An RL or MJ Bedford would crap over any normal 4x4 unless you turn your Toyota into a modded monster truck.

Unimogs "mogs" maybe more powerful (unrestricted version) and have better trans systems but the cabs are too soft. A number of NZDF people found this out the hard way.

+1 for the vitara/escudo but always a 5 door
Good little wagons

You could buy two new jimnys all most for the price of that 2nd hand landy or any other new ute/4x4

Yeah nah fark that. Not for that price. In two months it'll be worth half that, if it's still running that is

A mate worked at the Defender assembly plant in the UK a few years ago. He said every door panel was different and the mounting holes had to be redrilled by hand to make the door fit.

all more the reason to buy a jimny

@300CALMAN a forestry company I used to work for had a 4X4 Bedford truck as a fire tanker, that thing could go places. And if there was no track, with 50,000 gallons of water on board you just pointed it where you wanted to be and it cut its own track ☺

200 plus tonnes of water on a bedford?

It was tongue in cheek, you get the point. Lots of water

5000 would have been tongue in cheek
