Which 2 Door 4x4’s…

[jonesey]

I’m on the hunt for a full sized 2 door SWB 4x4 and have saved searches for the following. What others are out there that I should be thinking about? Budget around 10k.

Toyota Lancruiser/Prado
Mitsubishi Pajero
Nissan Patrol
Defender 90
Daihatsu Sportrak

Anybody have any obvious omissions?

I think Toyota did a SWB 2 door RAV4.

Suzuki jimny Might be a bit small. Do you need the 4 seats? Would a pick up work? You could look at crew cabs or single cabs?

Nissan Terrano
Mitsubishi Shogun

I'm sure there are more!

Ideally 4 seats I think as I’ll use this for all kinds of tasks.

Jimny a little small and don’t really want a vitara (did they do a 2 door hardtop?)

Isuzu I didn’t realise they did in 2 door. Just don’t suggest a frontera!

[bangerhoarder]

Freelander (1) - mostly broken but 3 door at least
Early Range Rover (not likely in budget!)
Discovery 1 - may be some left, not a bad old thing if you can weld
Jeep Wrangler
Ford Bronco and Chevy Blazer if old LHD lumps count

if you can find a clean one, Honda HRV... oh also probably 5 times cheaper than your budget!

Hang on a moment, that's a great shout. They have a 1.6 in them but would be a lovely candidate for a turbo conversion,,,,,

Gratuitous pic for no other reason that it’s an awesome thing.

Super reliable, check some of the owner stories here. Total Dog mobile, just treat them an annual service with MOT, easy-peasy hassle-free motoring.

Isuzu VehiCross

Suzuki x-90... Another late 90s Legend



or Samurai with bad-ass looks...

You can’t go far wrong with the first two on your list.

I’ve got a Landcruiser Prado/Colorado SWB and it’s been great and very reliable, the Shogun is good too and a bit easier to find one.
