Gee Chikoroll you enjoy stiring the pot on here don't you :lol: . How many of these threads can we expect? I wonder are you actually considering trading in your Jackaroo or something?

Anyway as for my choice, early 100 series, with a real front axle. Unless you want to count the old Bunderas as a Prado, I have a soft spot for these because they are smaller than the Cruiser, and I'm fond of smaller, lighter cars :D. My Zook is too wide sometimes to fit between some trees, so I think I'd lose the plot driving a land Cruiser :lol: .

AWD is a poor excuse for a 4WD.

I hate going to weddings because all the grandma's used to poke me in the ribs saying you're next, you're next. They've stopped doing it since I started doing it to them at funerals.

lol of course, stirring is my job, people get angry enough to break things then they come to me to get it fixed :lol:

seriously though...what is the point of the IFS landcruiser??
the prado is much better, comes with rear tyre carrier as standard, can carry just as much....anyone want to point me into the other direction?

(yea, i can understand the solid axle part...is there a solid axle prado?)

I just took a prado through Fiji jungle for 4 days. They are not as well designed for off-road as cruiser, but if coped. Main comment would be lack of bash guards and very vulnerable radiator. Muddy dodgy tracks with highway tyres and it never got stuck though.
