Sub 1k Shogun worth looking at? Or poss alternatives?

[Fubar1977]

Hi all

Mrs is fancying a cheap 4x4 shed for carting stuff round and just general messing about.
Top wack would be a grand to spend.
Won't need to be a daily driver, more of a useful toy.
Looked at a lot of stuff on A/T and Shogun seems to be the nicest place to be for that money.
There's also a Hilux Surf that's quite tempting too.
Fuel consumption not really an issue, petrol/diesel not bothered really.
She's also seen a couple of 4.0Litre Jeep Cherokees really cheap but I'd prefer Jap tbh.

Opinions, suggestions, advice welcome.

Thanks.

We had a 91 pajero swb - trouble starting it if left for over a week, apart from that it was great. 1 car i regret selling!

Good to hear, thanks.
Definitely thinking Jap stuff.

Pretty reliable all in all. 2.5 is a little short geared compared to the 2.8 (3k @60 mph) but will plod along for years to come just watch for rust underneath more so from farmed examples.

Rust is what worries me with old Mitsi's.
I've run a couple of Galants and had plenty of rust/corrosion issues with them :-(
Shame as they're lovely things.
