I think the next thing you buy should have caterpillar tracks.
You might be able to get over the stones then.

Speaking of campers, did you pass that iveco one on the drive back from the campsite in the lakes.
Looked amazing

Yea that one was cool, but it did look very top heavy

Was a bit big for a laning adventure.
I was looking at a mitsubishi delcia space gear for a bit of a day van /camper project but the engines are prone for cylinder head problems.
Wonder if the terrano lump would fit??

It's the Shogun 2.8 lump isn't it? Tbh bud I had a 2.8 Shogun before the Trol and never had any problems with the engine despite the dodgy rep

She even got near the red a couple of times after I first got her (leaking water pump) and was fine, even though I don't think she'd been much taken care of before I got her

Think it's a bit like the ZD30, you only really hear about the bad ones.

I thought the 2.8 was supposed to be a good engine it's the 2.5 engine that went in Pajeros & L200 that had issues.

I've heard stuff about both tbh

and had Shoguns with both!

Only thing that went wrong with my 2.5 was a broken timing belt (my own fault for not checking when I got it

)
