Love both cars, but would have to take the Toyota as it’s the cooler thing for me. I presume they do it in a 5-door though, as that 3-door looks bizarre, like a shoe or something.
3 door landcrusiers are very sought after in the farming/utility sectors. In Northern Ireland a three door landcrusier is worth more than a five door as they are so scarce.

I used to love the G-Wagen, especially the 2 door convertible version back in the day.
The bank vault looks are confidence inspiring, and the narrow width is a nice reminder of how bloated contemporary designs have become.
However I cannot help thinking that in the meantime it is a bit retarded, especially in AMG trim with 21” wheels. The price is a joke! Just another way to show off that you only care about image.
The Land Cruiser any day!
Remember, they also make other models in the G range. PH picked the 63 to especially to make this article.The bank vault looks are confidence inspiring, and the narrow width is a nice reminder of how bloated contemporary designs have become.

Tax rate on the 3 door jeeps from 55plates or post Aug 2005 to us lot in NI, being £500 put alot of traditional landcrusier and shogun men in hilux's and L200... Plus the tax benefits of running a pickup made them alot more cost effective to purchase and run.
And yes the thieving c#*ts also like them but that joint psni/garda bust outside Keady three weeks ago should hopefully have stopped some if not all of that activity for a while.. Those guys were stealing yokes nationwide!

Thank feck for steel wheels so that some jonny buying a Range Rover with 20 inch ones cannot shout at me for not moving over because he had to go up a kerb and "I have £500 wheels on". Irony lost.

Both these cars are, with the Jimny and Jeep, still pushing on proper 4x4 at all ends of the spectrum in a world full of crossdressers. Or whatever the term is. Unders, overs, inbetweeners
Having said that, as a man who loves his google streetmap

take your pick!
You're only as good as your imagination and your tyres.
What so you think this is after doing a zoom in?

I guess the ultimate decision about who is the winner is when the John Mc Cain sponsored group called ISIS will decide between the two on the battlefield.
Correct. At the moment ISIS favour their Toyota's. You'd have thought they'd go for Jeeps - then they could load them up with US made weaponry to save on shipping. Francy555 said:

I didnt read about that bust. Sounds about right though but it will only put the operations back a couple of months i would imagine.

In a shed outside Keady the psni found landcrusiers and discovery's in various stages of being dismantled, one of the landcrusiers was stolen in tipperary!
It's hasn't stopped the theives. A new shape navara was stolen from Ballygawley on Monday evening. Probably being stripped for parts right now.
