10 of my all time favorite 4x4s

[Thrandur]

I'll just list the 10 of my all time favorite 4x4s

The original Jeep - who could forget the one that started it all


The classic Bronco - terrible to steer but introduced a new suspension and comfort


Range Rover - design that lasts for 20 years has to be good- and the handling is great


Toyota HiLux - simple and functional design that is easy and fast to modify


Chevy Suburban - go big with style and actually use the space you have


Suzuki SJ - extremely light weight and cheap on the gas stations - low maintenance


Nissan Patrol - have proven themselves as the most popular off road truck in Iceland and other countries - there is a reason for that


Isuzu Trooper - hate the fact that they are no longer produced


Jeep Rubicon Unlimited - take a great concept and make it even more powerful and robust


And last but not least...

Hummer H1 - Designed from the ground up to handle the roughest terrain

Yeah I´ll go along with most of those..I reckon that the Jeep marque has come up with some of the most versatile vehicles. I can´t comment on the Jap rigs as I have never owned one or even driven one. I have however driven an H1...quite the beast. Our club had sponsored the Hummer folks for a weekend in Florida and they brought a couple of H1´s. we managed to get both of them insanely stuck in the swamp and being the weight they are, were very difficult to extract. I still think a Jeep is more versatile however, heh!!

I seem to be biased, never driven any but British. Except the Lada Niva which must rate as the best cheapest 4x4 ever on the market, what with Coils all round & full time FWD.

I have driven most of the Land Rover products bar the current Range Rover & Discovery models, including a 6x6 conversion of the 101 FC ambulance

1950's Austin Champ with a Rolls Royce engine & a 1960's Bedford truck being the only others i have driven.
I have travelled in most of the Japanese marques and a GMC suburban tho'.

For expeditions i still reckon the 110 beats all.

You got to throw the land rover into the mix.
I have a 90 pick up and its great offroad

im gonna have to say the new model powerwagon 05 to 09 comes with lockers front and rear ,full skidplates, 12 000 lb winch, disconnecting swaybar ,33 inch tires all from the factory and don't forget the hemi. the originals are pretty cool also

Hey everybody

and what is with Toyotay LAndcruiser

I want to be fair , it is not everytime easy to say what is better, but everywere you look in the world you see Landcruiser
I think more than Landrover and others.

For me it is the best
My second choice is Landrover ( I like very much )- it is a car for the world
see the photos Isn't it wonderful

Ha, ha, HAH, Landcruiser, is just what its called, as long as it sticks to Tarmac / Concrete roads in the Summer, then its a good car, but no good off road, sorry but thats my view.

Jack.

Sorry Thrandur, but the reason that Range Rover design lasted for 20 years was quite simple, ROVER Engineers hated change, so it stayed the same, except for a few minor Techie bits, same goes for Land Rover too, two piles of British Engineering Rubbish that I am throughly ashamed of and the most costly to maintain, but there you go, thats another English Engineer telling the truth about British Engineering.
