Was thinking of getting a second hand jeep from the UK.. just wondering what people think of the following and what is the better vehicle etc. I'm going turn it into a commercial and rip out the back seats and turn it into a van/jeep.
Going to be doing a bit of driving around the country seeing clients etc..
Anyway the list is as follows:

Range Rover Vogue
Audi Q7
BMW X5
VW Tourag

Other suggestions welcomed, not really sure what else is out there though..

Thanks,

Oisin

 

Landcruiser

 

mitsu l200?

 

Yep Landcruiser.

I have a 05 Commercial and it is a great bit of kit make sure you get the 6 speed as it is a lot better on juice.

It's not as easy as ripping out the seat's to make it commercial and the VRT boys are tough on this at the moment. you have to remove the seat belts and weld the mounts closed also you have to weld in a floor where the rear seats were, I think there is more but check it out before you do anything.

You might find better value here as the country is awash with commercials that nobody wants or can afford!

 

I've just bought a X5 - admitedly the E70 which is probably a bit too new to be stripping out etc, but also drove E53 and can't fault them.

More reliable than Land Rover offerings.

Land Cruiser could do the trick though.

 

HiLux Surf.

 

Thanks for the suggestions guys..
I want something like the ones I mentioned..
Hilux, L200 are just to bob the builder..
tiger.. Yeah I heard they are being strict little feckers on converting guidelines etc.. I'll get it professionally done.

I was talking with a taxi driver last night who said the range rover is pron to breaking down??
Love the Overfinch look..
Guess I should get out and try driving them and then see

 

Landcruiser !!!!!



No question - they are awesome

 

We have a CRV.

I am no Honda fan boy, but it's been a really great car for us.

Worth a look to see if it meets your needs as you'd save a fair wedge versus some of the other potentials.

 

Drive a Landcruiser before you rule it out!

Best of luck with the Range Rover I hope you have a friendly mechanic and deep pockets
