If you couldn't have a series LR, then what would your next choice be?

"If you couldn't have a series LR, then what would your next choice be?"

What other 4x4's ,classic or otherwise, series rover would like to own and why ? Let's assuming it's within the price range as you're willing to spend on your series rover.


my choice FJ40, Early Bronco ==> capable in the rough, good looks and tougher than Jeep

I'm with you on the FJ40 and the early Bronco.What else besides the Scout does that leave? I have trouble with the looks of the Scout. Sorry Scouties.I know people that think the Rover was the ugliest thing ever made. I guess opinions are like a**es everybody has one.

I've been looking for a Mitsubishi Evolution, does that count as a 4x4?

[KevinNY]

Early Bronco.

I have always wanted and fJ 55. I just think they look cool. A buddy in college had an old bronco. The "three on the tree" shifter was interesting.

Suzuki samuri. Cheap, capable, lots of after market upgrades available and easy to roll back on to the rubber when ya flip

Before I bought my Series IIA, I owned a 1977 Scout II for about 6 months. I loved the truck; the power of that 304 V8 was amazing...enough torque to pull the earth. However, the steel and therefore rust was too much for me to handle, so I sold her. Glad I did, a couple months later I saw my IIA! If I had to lose my Series and choose another one, I would go with the FJ40 as well...preferably the Icon version

FJ, maybe some oddball old military thing like this beast:

I've also been hearing about people swapping 4wd systems into the new diesel Sprinters and using them as expedition vehicles, and there's something compelling about that idea. It's the only thing I can think of that I could buy new in the US that would fit the same functional bill that my Series does.

Since we're talking for fun, and therefor I can ignore maintenance issues...

Any series Tatra:


Or an Alvis Stalwart:

I too love the FJ40 but in my search i had narrowed it down to either a Series or a Pinzgauer I went with the Series because the Pinzgauer is pretty darn military looking and not sure how my wife would have liked it. The Pinz is very cool because it comes in a 6x6 with fully independent, 6x6 portal axles and locking diffs. Unstoppable.

[mongoswede]

it would be a struggle between one of the following:

A Russian Ural Truck...just because they are so bad ass:


Possibly a Unimog:


One of these bobbed US army trucks could be fun:


Next on the list...not this list isn't really in any order:

Bowler Wildcat and Nemesis




This one even comes with a Codriver:



I almost have one of these now..but not quite...with a new price tag of 38000 euros its a little hard to justify:

Dodge Power Wagon...or my friends Duce 'n half (x-Air Force) he converted to a camper for the American West.
