Networking. I'm reaching out to fellow members in search of particular vehicle(s) to buy. Only have around $5,500.00 to spend. I want a 1994-95-96-97 Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero/Shogun with the 2.8 or 3.0 l TD engine. Must be LHD. W/Inter-cooler preferred. Picky picky right?
Also would consider the Toyota Hilux Surf with similar engine displacement. Isuzu Trooper would be splendid but have never seen here. No 2.5L please. Hey! WTF. It's worth a shot. Would pay finders fee for right vehicle.

As I can testify, the Series 80 Toyota LandCruisers are just about bulletproof and lots of them around. You should be able to find a 1993 to around 1996 for $5,500. The engines are slow turning and last for just about forever. There are a lot of used parts available. Getting parts for a Mitubishi or Trooper might be a lot more difficult and $$$$. Also the LandCruiser can haul a lot. Only down side is that the 6 cyl uses a bit of petrol. I love the weight of it as I can usually bull my way through traffic.

I would like to buy a cheap pickup but there are none. Thailand has millions of old pickups, not worth importing here?

when i see drivers sticking over half the car out to look to overtake I assume they are rhd but they never are!
worse are rhd trucks,usually those dumpy tipper trucks
