If you had to start over, what different rig would you start with?

I really like the taco but they wont sell them in the uk.

Can you get the Hilux? I have always wanted to see one and compare to the Tacoma. I've read comparisons but need hands on. I love mine. Owned it 2 years and very impressed.

Current Adventure rig is a '97 Cherokee with a '92 Cherokee being built for more extreme adventures.

If I had start over with something differentt it would be a '70s-'80s Wagoneer. The extra room would be so nice.

Mercedes Sprinter van 4x4 or an older Lexus GX470

Now it's a Nissan GU Y61 series 6, if I had a choice back then it would be a stick Toyota LC 200 with the D4D 4.5L diesel V8, didn't pull the trigger due to no rear A/C for the kids.

But in reality I'm looking for a Chevy stick 2500hd single cab with the 8.1L

I've had my Jeep for a very long time so the things that I would change to "start over" didn't exist when I got my Jeep. As a result, I have no regrets. That being said, the extra cargo space of the JKs would be great...

I just bought my new 4Runner last May, so nothing has really changed. But since the thread rule is that I can't pick the same vehicle, I guess it would be what I really wanted this time around, but couldn't justify: a very lightly used 200 Series Toyota Land Cruiser, preferably a 2015. The 2016 has the mandatory rear entertainment system in the front seats' headrests. When you tumble the rear seats forward, the hard back of the rear seats crashes into the screens of the entertainment system. Piss poor engineering!

What prevented us from going this route last May, was that 2013 and newer Land Cruisers with 50,000 miles and more were selling for $15-20,000 more than our brand new 2016 4Runner Trail Premium...

The rear monitors can be pulled but leaves a really ugly gap. That's why I went with a 14. The 4 runners are badass!!

Only thing I would change would be importing a diesel 200 series :)

Just started over with the Range Rover Sport.
Will take my time with this one though and plan each step properly and testing each upgrade before moving on to the next. Having said that the list of bits waiting to go on is getting longer:
Hella Lightbars on the roof rack
LED driving lights
Compressor guard (when it gets here)
RAI (in transit)
New tyres soon

If I could do it all over and I didn't like Jeeps anymore, I would probably bite on a G500.

 

[MA_Trooper]

I'm currently in a 2002 Trooper. If I had to do it again, with the same budget? Cherokee Sport (with I6 not that v6 junk the switched to). If money wasn't an issue, I would probably go with a Land Cruiser.

L494 or L320? I'm guessing first gen, based on your parts list, but there are more bits for the L494 now... post a pic of your RRS.

If I had to start over I wouldn't have owned over 80 vehicles. There are only about 10 I should have kept. I really wanted a power wagon when they came out in 05, but never had the money. But between 05 and 2016 when I bought my 07 power wagon, I spent enough money on crappy rigs to buy 3 new power wagons. I am a slow learner...

My current rig is a 100% stock 2005 Hyundai Tucson and it's my first awd vehicle.

I plan on taking my time and completing my objectives the right way the first time around.

I don't plan on building a massivly complicated rig for 2 reasons:

A) It needs to be reliable enough to take me on whatever roadtrips I want to go on.
B) It's seriously underpowered (3500 lbs and 112 hp/180 lb-ft) so weight will have to be kept to a minimum at all times.

This is it. (I'm getting it on tuesday)

I already own my "perfect" overland rig. 1981 Jeep Scrambler. I love it, but if money was no object I would update the suspension to coil overs and throw in a 4bt Cummins, along a very long list of wish list parts that will some day make it on the rig!

That being said I would also like this...
