I did think about the 78 Cruiser but it's really not pleasant to drive on road for extended periods. I'm planning to go to Mongolia and back to UAE in 8 weeks so it's an average of 280km per day but in reality it's staying somewhere for 3 days and then having to cover 800km per day.
Upgrading the 200 series is quite a common thing here I found out, a lot of people actually fit the seats, door cards, steering wheels, etc from the Lexus LX570 to give the interior a more upmarket feel.
Been thinking more and more about the little 150 series Prado. You can get it here with the V6, rear mounted wheel and factory aux tank so a total of about 155 liters. No rear locker though and as I mentioned before I find it odd to buy a vehicle like this without a locking diff.
Maybe I should just see how much I can actually spend in about 6 months on the car, I guess my budget will dictate what I can actually buy and I will just have to accept that.
