    Suzuki Grand Vitara XL7 2003

    Looking good, Trex! I'm in the market for an SUV to use for my carpentry work and for overlanding trips when not working. I'd probably skip the fridge/stove install but the drawers would be useful for both purposes. How's the cargo capacity of your XL7 compared to a 4runner or pajero? Are you...

    Prado or Pajero

    Thanks Mrgalantguy. Nice write-up there. I read the article previous to that one about the 1999 gen 3 as well... I'm still on the fence deciding between the Gen 2 or Gen 3.

    Thanks for the pics James! I do like the Montero/Pajero. I would like to get a diesel one though. I've also read that lifting them is limited to about 2 inches, but that might just be enough for some added ground clearance. Do you know if your daughter's has a locking rear diff? Locking center...

    Prado or Pajero

    Hi all, I'm looking to import a DIESEL SUV from Japan to Canada, I think.... I've got my eye on either an early 90's Pajero or Prado 70's series. I plan to use the vehicle as a daily driver/work truck(tool hauler for carpentry), and also a roof top tent set up for 4x4 camping exploration. Fuel...
