Thanks for the replies guys. Karl, would love to see some pictures, thanks! The good lady and I had a pretty chilly wet time camping in Scotland recently and it got us thinking about a very small demountable camper. we have a friend with one and it's a fantastic bit of kit. For me, a flat bed or pickup would be handy at work (forestry) but I can't help thinking that I'll be disappointed with a MK3 (maybe MK4?) Hilux (don't want anything more complicated than that really) after getting used to, and loving my 80. especially now it's all sorted, wink turbo, proper exhaust and all set up well, it flies along.
now mine is solid I'm not sure I'd want to chop it, although if a chopped one ever came up for sale I'd be very tempted to sell mine and make the change.
it's a tricky thing isn't it!?
