Nice Hilux Camper

I like the VW, but I love that Troopy. It looks like a Tom Fahrzeugtechnik creation.

Google ‘snapped pick up chassis’ then decide if you want a camper body with all the weight on the rear axle.

The current Iveco daily 4x4 is a good option. Same size as a 70 series double cab and much more payload

Think I'll be sticking with my Troopy

It’s actually an MAN but he stuck a VW badge on it because he runs a VW parts and accessories company

That did occur to me, I was looking closely at the cab/rear space, not sure if it’s my imagination or if it’s really bending a bit!!

Love those new ivecos, £150k from bimobil to you sir!!

It makes no sense to me , if i was going this route i think i'd start with something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2012-FOR...766192?hash=item1a78bc7470:g:1PwAAOSwKlFcmPDS

There has to be a camper version out there somewhere so body lift and cut out arches to fit bigger wheels and give some ground clearance .

Anybody intending to travel with such a set up is going to avoid the more extreme terrain anyway .

Do what I did, buy a 4x4 Sprinter. Pisses all over the Transit 4x4s... central and rear diff locks and crawler gears.

You mean like this? IMHO the best combination of size vs off road ability vs practicality currently available

I have a bit of a lust issue with these

Moggy - with you all the way on the Vario 4x4 - when I grow up I'd like one. Prices are redunkulous though - almost cheaper to buy a Unimog. And per your earlier post - I have a Landy 110 too as it happens, along with Jan's 80 Series Cruiser, and the baby 4x4 Sprinter...
