2 wheel drive auto offroad or not ?

[Auto]

Hi folks thanks for all the replys, I would love a syncro and im still looking in to the triptonic gear box in one
and funny enough I have been looking on the net at Mitsubishi delicas there seems to be pleanty around
and I think the Mitsubishi delica may be the easier option and cheaper too but they dont look to have as much
room in side as a t25 may be the lwb would be better are they any good ? has any one had any experience
of them any thought guys
Cheers phil

I've had a l400 lwb delica for nearly 9 years. They are a brilliant van. Arguably the best std vehicle I've owned. Rubbish on fuel and compared to a Syncro rubbish off road. I love it !

The old delicas look pretty cool.

Those rusted like buggery over here, can't imagine you'd have any left over there!

Do you guys not have the same exploding 2.8 mitsubishi diesels we have???

Yes! I know of 3 that have "chucked a rod"!!

Uber expensive but so worth it!

I thought the mods had blocked the pinzgauer posts for me and rich. That's going to be another month of counselling to get over

I love em too. Spent a couple of years instructing driver training on them. Only ever got one stuck' but managed to rock it out in the end.

I've put a few on their roofs, flip em back over bend the mirrors back. Drive off.

The blurb says a manual gearbox is standard but has an 'expedition package' which has special gearing but no mention of an auto!

Thanks for all the info guys I think the pinzgauer and t5 would be out of my price range anyway so it looks like the only choice is a Delica if I want to camp out in it unless anyone knows of anything else ?
if I can get a cheap low milage one I wont have to sell my t25 to fund it
has any one got any tips when looking to buy a Delica such as faults to look out for?
Any way keep the ideas coming folks it's all intresting stuff
Cheers phil

Dont know a great deal about them,save to say Daughter has had a couple of Shoguns as have many local 4x4 guys, same mechanics as Delica,apparently earlier engines are easier to work on and less troublesome,her present truck is a 1992 model with the earlier 2.8 TD fitted, pulls like a train,25 mpg thereabouts as long as your name isnt Roger.
