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.
