August 24, 201016 yr comment_462478 Found this on carsales, http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...id=12852D0785EA 94 model crusier, diesel, with reg and rwc for $4800 but has nearly 350xxxkms Seams alright and at 350 its been ran-in. In my opinion if your not planning on towing a camper nor wanting to tough it in a swag the whole trip go for a troopy - more sleeping room etc etc Report
August 24, 201016 yr Author comment_462484 Ye, I wouldn't mind getting one of those rooftop tent things that fold out into a tent on your roof, then I could just put the stuff in the back. Otherwise I was thinking if I plan to stay on the roads I was looking at some old vans that have been fixed up. Edited August 24, 201016 yr by 19914afc Report
August 24, 201016 yr comment_462487 early 4 runner.. would be slow but would be cruisey to drive with a/c and p/s.. new injector pump means less to worry about off the beaten track l300 2.4L petrols are a good motor. make sure the timing belt is done, and the gearbox/clutch are ok.. heaps of storage and easy camping in this one! 60 series much nicer than a xJ4x. check for rust. fairly robust but not as strong as patrols. early pathfinder would be much nicer on the highway than the others. still capable offroad rangie a little from left field. driving wise it would be the best compromise for offroad ability and driving comfort. should have heaps of power with the p76 motor.. jut watch the electrics Report

Otherwise I was thinking if I plan to stay on the roads I was looking at some old vans that have been fixed up. this is a little too expensive http://www.carpoint.com.au/all-cars/privat...id=126A81B915FB Van? Before my trooper, I had a tarago. Luxury vanning. just kept getting almost stuck, and rivers started to frustrate me. But it was one owner, overrated and under 2 grand. Report

Sounds like cheap wheels to get you camping. Although I have a soft spot for Toyotas, the Mitsubishi should do the business. When your ready to upgrade, head down to the local backpackers and sell it for a profit Report
