I have had hiluxs for around 25 years. Easy to work on, and get parts for. I started cheap, 5k was my first hilux. I had it for 7 years, until I sunk it in port Philip bay launching my boat on a beach, I got paid out 7k from the insurance company as a total loss - bonus! (Made 2k in 7 years). I tend not to do hard core stuff anymore, 1- I’m older and wiser, 2, my current sr5 hilux cost $67k fully decked out, bull bar, winch, steel tray, 145 litre long range tank, and many other bits and pieces, reg + insurance. This vehicle now tows my caravan to WA, where I prospect for gold, it’s my business vehicle, tows my boat, use it’s tray to fill up fire wood. It’s all rounder now. I take care of my vehicles nowadays. When I was young I blew up gearboxes, transfer cases, cracked rear axles, cooked engines, replaced head gaskets myself. I fully pulled apart my 3RZ 2.7 litre engine and rebuilt that myself in my home garage. Took that all the way to WA, then north to Broome, Halls creek, down towards Melbourne down the tanami (worst dirt road on earth, vicious corrugations in parts, I think around 1100 or 1300kms, can’t remember), it didn’t miss a beat that old girl on that trip. My advice, buy something cheap, if you are blessed being mechanically minded, and can fix things yourself, go for it, have fun. Not everyone is mechanically minded, so think wisely before you go hard on tracks, cos things brake when they get old (cheap cars), and if you are paying someone to fix it, I can imagine things escalating in costs. But I’d say give it a go, try to fix things yourself, there’s plenty of knowledge on KZread nowadays to help you along

Need another one of these for people just getting into 4X4 😁

For the price point if you want to make a personal yet very capable tourer with strong drivetrain a TD42 or a 3.0L GU Patrol Wagon or Ute has strong aftermarket parts support. Ute will have a higher GVM if there is only two of you in the car and want to kit it out with all the comforts. Also the 80 series 1HZ or 1HD-FT is great bang for buck and still have spending room to make it a personal and very capable tourer. The petrol versions will be easier on the pocket not in fuel but in long term servicing.

im 23 went out and bought a brand new toyota hilux this year. So far so good only problem is now im broke af and cant afford any mods. I bought it just before covid at the start of the year in feb. She still hasnt been taken off road and is completly stock. Im happy with my purchase but possibly going a little cheaper and throwing the extra cash on mods is the better way to go. If i could pick any car id go the 79 series.

I’m currently saving up for a RG Colorado Z71 and if I’m lucky the Z71 Xtreme back then from there 2inch lift slightly bigger all terrains and just a rear locker and I think I’ll be about set can’t go wrong with those autos either with the 500NM and 147KW!

paid $4000 for my gen 2 Pajero 3.5 manual. One family owner with 180,000kms. Best thing I've ever bought

Id love an old td coil cab ute but the new dualcabs are so much better on the road and I think the difference between them off-road and the solid axel is smaller than solid axel to ifs on the road so I don't think I'm gonna spend lots on a patrol unless I have 2 cars but that's just my opinion you do you

TD Coil Cab GQ Ute all the way. Picked mine up for 13k in mint condition and low Kms

Do you guys not have Jeep Wranglers down there, JK or JLs?

I bought 2008 Range Rover with all the Vogue etc names with every option, it’s a tuned 3.6 d V8, egr, PDF delete (quicker than my mate’s 4.5 Toyota), never towed anything, inside like new and not even a scratch on the paint, an obvious mall crawler or soccer mum car just it makes good noise: bought it to tow a boat but it drives so smooth and quiet, not even a rattle that I drive 98% of the time (also have a mint C6 Corvette convertible I’m not even bothering to register next year) Paid $25k for it with 110,000 klm, now has 155,000 klm with no issues: have taken it on some rough old dirt tracks but nothing that needed 4x4 engaged so can’t comment on that, I’ve heard people bag them because sometimes an airbag might stuff up but that’s it: I wanted a V8 Toyota, either troopy or wagon but they were twice the price with more than twice the klm’s, had just basic plastic interior, no autos (I’m an old truckie so not interested in manuals: I can drive a 20 speed quadruplex and 20 speed Spicer which most have never even heard of let alone Road Rangers etc) I like English cars and this thing is like a 4x4 Roller, if it costs me $20k (which it won’t) over the next ten years I’ll still have money left over if I bought a Troopy... maybe not the resale but I doubt there’ll be much in it. Was going to look at a new Jeep before I bought the C6 but the only diesel is a 2.2 Alpha Stelvio and can’t find a long term review: the previous 2.8 was a VM engine, I used them on BPT’s as blower engines and nothing trouble... the new Colorado has them just they changed a few things, in Jeeps they cringed, in the Colorado they rave about them, go figure... I wouldn’t trust one.

I’ve racked up 5 speeding tickets and I’m gonna sell my Honda manual, would a heavy slow cheap 4wd be a good option lol

i have a 2008 spacecab ford ranger turbo desiel that I brought for 8k, mainly use for touring but still capable off road not as bad as people say

Honestly I'd go for tdi300 disco 1 for 0 to 5k. They're reliable, cheap as chips on fuel and are great off road, they have live axles and are probably one of the most comfortable cheap 4x4 you can buy.

Benny id steer clear of the pathfinders, go the challenger or a pajero in that price range. My mechanic said he would beat me up if I bought a pathfiner (same shape as a D40 navara - previous models were great) as they had so many issues with the 2.5lt diesel. Theres a reason theyre such a good price but also why so many have dissapeared from the second hand market so fast when they were a top selling ute. Did heaps of research for us on the subject. Reliability between the mitsubishi and the pathfinder....stick with Pajero or challenger. Both great cars and reliable and good bang for buck. The 3.2lt pajero diesels are amazing on fuel and tow amazingly if you can get one. Just stay away from a pathy for your wallets sake. (Fyi my firt car was a pathy so I have a soft spot for them and was gutted the new ones were so unreliable). Good luck

In the lower price bracket I would go with the Pajero because they deprecate in value more than the Toyotas or Nissans, so you can get a less flogged out car for a similar price.

I know most people would know this. But, if you want a 3L GU. DO NOT get an early series one. GU I, GU II, If you wanna save money. If you don’t mind spending money and sending your car to the mechanic shop or spending 4 weekends on it then go right ahead. There is a reason they’re called grenade engines. Later Direct Injection 3L (GU III, GU IV) didn’t have the grenading problem but you’ll have to replace the diesel pump and injectors at one point. I just replaced the pump and injectors on mine. If you want a Patrol just save up your money and get a TD42 turbo or non. Just stay clear of the early ZD30 3L engines unless you’re gonna engine swap it. This is my current plan and one of many reasons why I got a ZD30. Even though my patrol is a GU IV and the issue was resolved the ZD30 engine is somewhat underpowered and sluggish. It’s not built for power.

Thanks Alex! yeah its getting more and more like that these days! insane!

Whatever price you get your 4wd. Its second hand. Hence itll need work. People have families. People fix things when they break and perhaps not much so preventative. Another tip perhaps go with live axle front and rear. Independent has more clearennce but just doesnt flex. I think theyre best left for outback touring. If you dont mind the lack of movement in the front end or do light 4wd work there are more 4wds out there besides nissans and toyotas. For young guys why not a swb mq patrol? 80/90's pajero-i think the petrol versions had a v6? Land rover discoveries v8 for local work, diesel for touring-plenty mods out there from uk to get them up and going. If you want a land rover 110. Get onto greys online. Register and bid for a perentie. It should be cheaper than buying one from gumtree/ebay.

Any gu past 05 basically not worth the price as they stopped realising the td42’s and the 3l just aren’t reliable as the rd or the zd which is unfortunate

The d-max has been found that sometimes they have gearbox problems

Disco and defenders cant go wrong. Under rated in aus due to a smaller aftermarket and dificult to get parts. But very capable vehicles being coil live axles (disco 1 and 2) and not too expensive. And the defenders (excluding perentie) are alloy bodies so light. Verymuch under rated cars. And for thr 0-5k bracket a v8 disco is a better choice then a petrol gq. Both good tho.

About to buy my next car. I'm at a loss at what to get. I want something with the reliability of my old 80s hilux but with more comfort. I don't want it financially ruin me if it breaks down. I just don't see that in all the new work utes, as much as I like the look of them. I have 30-40k to spend. I'm actually considering getting a 4.7 v8 petrol cruiser for 20-30k and spending 10k on mods (or fuel).

Get a clean gu patrol and engine swap it with a 1hdfte or LS engine depending on what driving you do and itll be blow all other 4x4 on the tracks and on the streets. You can't simply buy a 4x4 with a better driveline or chassis. Nissan engines aren't the best but the Toyota engines are so itll be a no brainier to spend 60 to 80k on a brand new car littered with emissions controls and engineered to only last a curtain time. service ability and parts availability is another key factor that needs to be brought up. I myself have done extensive research and work to my car which is a GU patrol with a td42t. Youll be amazed at how reliable you can get these engines if you have some good mechanical knowledge. The thing that lets them down is the Muppet that pulls a 30k loan out to buy one. The 79, hilux and any other ute 4x4s (excluding the patrols ) are not made to go do your hard tracks without a high amount of stress put on factory components. And ill happily have a extensive discussion with anyone who disagrees with this.

Most 4.2 diesel six pots burn nearly just as much fuel as their petrol counterparts except for the mighty Patrol 4.8, that wins the drinking contest hands down. Also diesels require a service more frequent than petrol's. I drive a Landcruiser but if I had to choose something for a bush weapon I would go with a TJ Wrangler and I am not a Jeep fan at all.

Mentioned basically every other 4x4 except for jeep wranglers. TJ, JK, JL

After watching this a year after and looking at the prices of second hand cars now. I wish I could go back in time 😂

Land rover discovery 1

Check out y62. Very good modern option

Over 20K I would stick with the older 4wd but mod it more have a second Daily Driver

Not a mention of a zook anywhere....I paid 2g for a 2004 xl7 that truck eats up all my friends trucks all I’ve done is a simple lift and tyres and haven’t been caught out yet...lol can’t really even get a good gq here in NZ now...but keep up the good work guys it was awesome to see the price points compared to here..

Less then 5k diesel td27 turbo wd21 pathfinder/ terrano.

Where are you lads based?

got my 96 td gq for 5k 2 years ago, but I feel I have to say that you didn’t mention jeeps once, yes they’re warranty and customer service are absolutely shit house, but they are newer cars with solid axles

Mitsubishi challengers are a good starting point

If it was a price between 20k - 40k I would go for a 79 or 80 series because they are a very reliable car as well as the 78 with the V8 in them. But if I went for a a Nissan I would go for a duel cab ute and upgrade it.

Exactly what I was thinking and I’m watching a year later. Bloody crazy
