Fisherman Mike Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Litte bit thirsty but bulletproof jap reliability and real off road capability. Must have some service history with the Auto box though and manual would be preferred. Saying that I and the wife have had 3 in the last 15 years and they really do go anywhere with the right boots on and the Low range 4WD is truly fantastic.
