I cant believe what I have done. I have only gone and bought a Landcruiser Amazon 4.2 deisel auto. And get this....dont tell anyone but its bloody lovely, I still love my Landrovers but this thing is soooooo comfy and tows my caravan so easily. I have to get a rear wheel abs sensor (anyone got one?) but apart from that its great.
Here are a couple of piccys..
ps...I still have the Team Chaos Discovery though

Cheers

You've done the right thing, the quality of components and design of that age Land Cruiser is very impressive and they tow so well. I didn't think there was a better tower car until I bought my D4 that thing really impresses me with its abilities everywhere except off road but that's down to me not wanting to destroy the bumpers and sills rather than its capabilities.

one day i might buy a 86" series one like my dad had when i was a boy. |

I like the Aussie saying. If you wanna go into the bush go in a Land Rover. If you wanna get back go in a Land Cruiser.
