Fishing oz style _ Four x Fourbies _ Your Ultimate 4x4

Posted by: MartinF Apr 22 2008, 07:50 PM

Hey guys, was just talking about this at lunch with Jack and had been thinking on the subject a bit the last few days.

If budget wasn't an issue (let's say you just won the $30 mil) which 4x4 would you get and which conversions would you do on it?

Pointless topic, I know, but daydreaming ain't so bad ;)

With money not being a problem I would buy a new RANGE ROVER and it wouldn't NEED any extra's as it would cope with what I wanted to throw at it stock standard.
However I would add heavy duty tow bar, bull bar and heavy duty winch, and some driving lights. And a extra long range fuel tank or 2.

Well it would never happen BUT with that sort of money I would go all out and buy a HUMMER which already has all the bells and whistles as standard equipment.

defender for me

Not sure about the hummer.. sure it's good, but it's also a hummer

Franks option is actually not bad.. the new range rovers are pretty awesome vehicles straight from the factory.

Still.. just for kicks I'd probably go more the way has with the 100-series and just rebuild it with aftermarket stuff.. would be more fun. Try out some things, change them over again, gradually make it into your own perfect 4be.

Worst thing about me is that I have driven a lot of cars. Some of them have been 4 wheel drives and most of the cars that I have driven I do not think much of. I am mainly a city bloke and so would be hard for me to head outback. But that never stopped me even in the car that I currently drive.

No I am not going to tell because it is one of those cars that can almost fit in the back of a Ute.
