What about flying?
Harrier or helecopter for VTOL ability, now they're things that really can go anywhere. I mean if you want to spend a fair bit on some ex MOD kit wait till they sell a few harrier G5s off. Shouldn't cost much the Vulcans went for about £5,000 each for scrap value and they weighed alot more.

Steyr Puch used to make a smaller version of the Pinzgauer called the Haflinger. Diff locks front and rear, 10" of ground clearance under portal axles, and an unladen weight under 600kg. They laugh at terrain that defeats bigger, more macho 4x4s. Check out www.ccc.nottingham.ac.uk/~ppzcad/haf.htmlANDYLASER said:

What a fantastic bit of kit. Makes my Land Rover and tent seem completely inadequate.....
I don't think I'd enjoy owning a Maximog. I'd feel very decadent looking at the third world from the air conditioned comfort of such an extravagant truck. In fact, I'd feel pretty decadent driving one in the UK - a standard agri-spec Unimog would costs more than my house, goodness knows how many pounds a Maximog and trailer weighs in at. I'm only jealous because I can't afford one......
Ever slid down a snowy mountainside on an offcut of Lino? Great fun 'till you realise you can't steer. Then you realise you can't stop. Then you realise that the scenery is surprisingly hard, no matter how delicate it looks under a dusting of snow.PEDRO said:
Still more smiles per mile than anything else I've tried though 
Yup Hafflingers are the ultimate off road vehicle ! With a serious set of tyres (preferably off a dumper truck) they will go virtually anywhere, and when they get stuck, you just pick em up and shift them.
The Pinzgauer is like its big brother, and ideal for a camper conversion IMO.
Then the big daddy the Unimog - but I certainly wouldn't want to try and fix one if it broke !
Missing from this list is of course the Russian Zil truck - absolutely fantastic bit of indestructible kit check out
http://www.russiantruck.co.uk/film_clips.html
available on ebay as ever.....
I watched Ewan McGregor and Charlie Waite doing "the long way around" motorbiking around the world. They used BMW touring bikes -top kit as KTM blew them out (fools). But still ended up crossing the Siberian rivers in the back of the Zil trucks.

Tatras are even better - they've been bought by Terex now. Have a look at www.americantruckco.com (videos)
Glad to see I'm not the only bushcraftuk member with a diff lock fetish A local tree surgeon once to offered swap his ex Italian army Iveco 4x4 truck for my old Defender Hi Cap. I can pretend I need a Landy, but I can't really justify a lorry on the driveway
