I figure best value for money spent intially is in something you can actually use for a daily drive if needed also. Whether or not its a Toy or a DD you still got to spend money on keeping it road worthy ("sunk cost", "black hole" or whatever...) unless you've got a trailer and tow wagon. My 2c is get as good as you can afford then you got a play thing thats practical also as a DD...

true, however have my car as my DD and when the missus works split shifts she either gets picked up or has one of her works cars. I guess what i really mean is that i want something that if it breaks (and we all know they do at some stage) there's no panic to fix it like there would be if it was my DD. cheers steve

great vehicles. Best standard suspension you can get. Downfalls are the rear diffs and the dizzy's (fixed with an HEI). Rear diffs can be fixed with a salisbury, or a toyota diff head conversion (toyota head inside rover crown and custom axles) howat engineering does this. It really depends on what size tyres you are planning on running.
Easy engine upgrades aswell. Also extremely comfortable

It really depends on how you drive it. I killed a diff on my old one on 31's but I was really tough on it. Same with cloggy. They dont like to wheel spin. Fitting an ARB can fix the problem. Ask furgus about how much rear end stuff hes broken on 35's with an arb
