Yarrr happy days,,
I had a 2a Landy, I had to punch the passenger in the thigh every time I selected 1st gear and then smash her right hip for 2nd.
Probably not over here, toyotas are the pickup of choice for farmers and the like, the pricing that keep UK would put on it would shoot out of any sensible use for hard work dudes price range, what would sell would be the unlimited with the diesel that we get but with the full runicon package, we only get the gutless v6 short wheelbase in rubicon flavor so you have to spend a tonn of cash to get an old model upto eunu standard(lockers and the like)
Don't fall into the trap of spending more on mods than you would on buying a better vehicle to begin with. From my experience, modded Land Rovers start breaking because they're being made to drive stuff they weren't designed for. You can lift a Defender and fit knobbly tyres but without spending a few grand on lockers, it won't be as capable in the rough stuff as a stock Pinzgauer (and Perenti aside, you'd be hard pushed to find a 6x6!)
Don't know a huge amount about the Volvos. They were designed for the same tender, I think but have never seen one to compare

As for the Volvo or Pizgauer, I don't think I've ever heard of them competing in the major off road races such as the Mint 400 or the Baja 1000. I don't know as much about the Camel Stakes but I don't recall one ever competing there either.
the volvo once won the small truck class in the dakar rally

i think the pinzgauer hasn't entered any big races is because they where made specificly as military vehicles so wouldn't have got any sponsors etc.

Unlike a landy, Jeeps get better with money
BOOO Landys are like a fine wine both get better with age
When the wine is good, if the wine is corked or like many Land Rovers broken down the taste can be soured.BOOO Landys are like a fine wine both get better with age
