A Good Off Road Commercial 4x4 ?

[Brian the Sn@il]

Im after a Off road Toy, to be used at pay sites etc.

But whats a good value one, ?
Im looking at a budget of up to £ 1500

But it has to be a commercial 4x4 so i can put it through the books.

Anyideas guys ?

Places to buy from, as ive been searching with google for the past hour and havent come up with anything :(

There's one on Fleabay Buy it now £4500!! and it's got an 86 2.5n/a diesel engine in it? funnily enough He claims that DVLA made him change the plate to an age related D plate when he changed the  engine.

Just saw on ebay a couple of Daihatsu Fourtrak Fieldman (commercial). Quite cheap one was under a grand!

if you want something cheaper than a defender go for a series 109 (series 3, 2, 2a probly best) or the hi-cap one , not the most comfortable of rides though if your doing long jorneyes lol :D

i was either thinking to get a cheap as chips 4x4 and trailer to events

or buy a ex Military vehicle like this one and use for Advertising also.

But do pay site let in Large 4x4s ?

i dont mind spending a bit more if it needs nothing doing to it to go off road.

[Brian the Sn@il]

mmm i have found the Fourtracks, but can you Mod them up with Lifts kits etc etc ?

Thats my only concern :(

got to say many thanks everyone for inputting into this thread for me to find a play 4x4.
THis is why Mud Club is the best :)

Merc made a 4x4 version of one of their vans (sprinter IIRC) which as I understood it used G wagon axles. Not sure too much on the details, I only came across it once browsing another forum.

Hey Brian,

A Fourtrak fieldman would pretty easy to mod, there are lift kits and other stuff out there for them, PM Fudge who has a 4trak, maybe he can tell who, where, how much??
plus there in the same price & performance bracket as Vitara's and with the fieldman it's a 4x4 van - goodtimes if you are gonna put it through the business.

Or if you fancy sticking with Nissan maybe look at a Terrano swb van? they seen to be good value for money but i'm not certain how easy they would be to mod.

youve missed the price off mate ;)

Those 4 tracks may be the key. Ill PM Fudge as i know that he would have looked into it before getting one.

Hi, i had £1500 quids worth of 96 model hilux mate. It was an ex counsil truck and looked like it had some serious abuse in its time, but it proved to be a bloody good work horse.I used to off road it regularly on site and at play days, and as hard as i tried i seriously could not break it!!!! Plus there are so many bits on the market mate!!!
