Yeap love to see you 'tour' off road in that. Hell I would even pay $10 to watch .......
But seriously do you know what you really want?
You have a company vehicle for touring, you say you want a 4 door vehicle, then say you are looking at a commodore V8 .......... all in less than an hour.

haa! i have a 05 V8 already, want a newer one.... i have the Tj for work, and its ok for touring on my own,but not with the family in tow, and i cant take it to rallywoods or similar and wreck it , so to speak, so need something, around 10g that i can use if the family come away, go shooting in, take on harder trips without the boss complaining about damage.....
simple really

Wouldnt go the V8 Prado, its been for sale 3-4times from different people. Economy wont be good if its anything like mine. Ok for the odd trip but not for touring, think 500km from a 80-90L tank. AT Best!

The 2nd one looks good, not bad price, throw an arb bar on it and itd look good. Autos are nice offroad and if you want can manualize like Kbush did. my 2c

yeah the V8 one more appealled to my petrol head desires! (hence why i will get a new car for that purpose)
im thinking a 1kz Playdoh may be the go, can do some akas trips etc, throw a locker in it and do some RW tracks and also some of the SI trips as well, but still maintaining a ruggedness, not so keen on surfs with IFS or big heavy 60s...
will depend on how much i spend on a new car as to how much i will spend on a 4x4 loL!!!
(and yes mark also thinking of your jeep

)
