Hi All
my names Amelia I'm 20years old and from Wellington. I have been going up the Orongorongo Valley my whole life and practicably grew up on the back and eventually learnt to drive in an old fj40. I and recently been bit quite hard by the 4wd drive bug after my last trip up the valley and decided to buy a 4x4 of my own. have spent the last 3 weekends up rallywoods and went over the firewood loop last sunday so have a little experience in winching. Am getting quite stuck however in just what to buy as my first 4x4 I know I want an SWB truck, and most probably a cruiser but not to sure after that. any advise welcome

can't go wrong with a pajero, cruiser or safari, normal 70's have leaves .... prado ones have coils, diesel or petrol? ... depends on what sort of trips you want to do.
70 series prado (KZJ78) and 90 Series Prado (KZJ95)
