Amazing replies @GeekOKent @Iwan @Shayne Thankyou the images especially helps. with regards to: "As is already established in this thread most of us prefer the older tougher less electrics models hence the move away from traditional design" Is there basically a cut off that I shouldn't be...

Can some one kindly give me a 101 low down, on makes and models, further reading has me confused.... I thought the Land Cruiser was a make with different generations: J70/J80/J90/J100/J200/J300 Whats a Prado? Is this simply the Cruiser's name for European sales? Shorter wheel base? I'm also...

@nick_the_fish Thanks Nick, in all honesty, if I were to purchase one overseas I'd likely register it out there and drive it back hahaha so no container needed. Pan Am sadly is on the last on my list for the Landy, (But I've explored a lot in a rental) I'm UK based so with easy access to...

I was looking somewhere in the ball park of 50,000 GBP. But tbh the Fiesta was £1200 haha so for me its about practicality over costs. Literally the Fiesta was fine in the arctic on rough tarmac at -25. Zero issues. I'm very nervous dropping so much money on a J2000 without researching heavily...

Heya all, I'm baby faced and brand new here, not only to the LandCruiser forums, but to the world of 4x4 so please treat me as layman ha! I join the forums and write here to say hello and introduce myself, and importantly seek your advice. I have travelled extensively cross continent via land...
