For all Land Rover Owners
I've owned both Land rover and Toyota hunting vehicles. The Landies seem to drive better in the loose sand ( dry river beds ) , but apart from that the Toyota ( land cruiser )is the best , hard working safari vehicle out there. The Japs do know how to build 'em , that's for sure. Admittedly the Landies do " look " the part. There's a good reason why we don't really see other manufacturers in our industry. They just don't last. Period.

Anyone here ever see the hunting vehicle that someone left stored at Tholo (in the Ghanzi)?

So if I was feeling masochistic, what year model should I be looking for. I'm looking for something under $10,000 that will need a bit of work. My 2001 Excursion isn't too nimble, though it's been good to me, and the critters have eaten some of the wiring, so I'm looking for a hunting / project vehicle ...


Regards,

Chuck

I'd probably be inclined to go for a Series 3 and (with your fuel prices) probably a V8 engine but of course, don't know your terrain or what you need to put in it (hnece no comment about wheelbase)....... I wouldn't rule out a Toyota, a Jeep or even a Ford etc without knowing those things.

You'll have far better spares availability for the latter vehicles there so I think you should at least consider them.
