I like the idea of doing that to a disco 2.
I've done at least 3 jobs now that it was very nice to have low range and two of those I would have to have parked far away if it wasn't for low range and 4x4.

Something different but for the right application that be Ruddy good
The only 'right application' would be a farmer or gamekeeper. Who will just cut the back off their own and weld on a couple of old water troughs.

£17k for a tiny truck that can only carry 500kgs and tow 750kgs, with a weezy athsmatic 1.3 petrol engine? You'd just buy a normal farm buggy, it would be cheaper and better.

Kind of agree but have you ever run one off road?
Mate had one lifted on big tyres...went anywhere litterally .
Hats off to them getting off their arse and making a company out if it tho .

I think these lot were the first to do it, i know they've been doing suzuki mods for a long time. They might seem expensive to someone who has no interest or need for one but when you compare them to gators kubota rtv etc they are actually not that bad. Granted you don't see many about and compared to gators etc they probably sell v few but there's a few farmers running them instead.

I bought an old MOT failure Suzuki SJ off a mate for £50 many many moons ago to get to/from the pub along the beach in Abersoch (my mum lives at the far end). It would go anywhere and was easy to ‘unstuck’ when we found it’s limits. We hung it up on the groynes more than once - pretty easy to lift/force over with a few pissed mates…
