A uk reg Toyota 4 runner 3.0td - shipped out to Africa in 2004 and now registered in Zimbabwe.

I've just had the engine rebuilt but haven't tested it myself yet. 10 years over landing in Africa and I've blown the head; bust tortion bars and buggered lots if steering components amongst other things.

We have one of those sitting on the drive, but what have we chosen to take on our RTW trip a VW T3 Syncro! now have we made the right decision this is the question????? wanted to have a bit more comfort but the Syncro has ended up costing us more than we wanted the Surf has never let us down - hmmm!

Toyota Prado around Australia for a year. Uprated suspension and off-road tyres, that's it. The plastic strap holding the battery down snapped and the battery fell into the engine bay. Temporary fix with zip ties and all was good.
