Cars to go to Bolivia with...

[ericyoung017]

Ok so if you had 10 grand to spend on an offroader to take trek across bolivia with then what might you get?

I am thinking military chevy blazer diesel. you can pick a good one up on ebay for five grand and then spend the rest on customization

 

[Chupacabras]

Either a good Defender or Land Cruiser.

 

[thescreensavers]

Range Rover, because its the most reliable car in the world

Oliver

^ Only if you stick to the roads and don't have to drive down a sand dune (he's it's only two-wheel drive, y'know!).

Regarding the Blazer, i can not recommend it.

Second gen Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero 2.5 TD would be my recommendation, although 80 series Land cruiser or a Land Rover Defender are good choices too.

 

[ChuckMoritz]

if it wouldnt be cross-country i would go for an old benz

 

[ericyoung017]

Oh wow never new that the blazers were that bad... Well then second pick is for sure a land cruiser then because defenders are quite expensive in the states... And I don't believe they sell them here any more either

 

[Aston Martin]

Gotta be done.

 

[Der Stig]

Merc 300GD or S1 Disco 2.5D.

 

[Cobol74]

Defender LWB

 

[WillDAQ]

Generic Jap Turbo Diesel, the last bit being all that really matters.

 

[TC]

Toyota Hilux

 

[TopGearNorthAmerica]

1963 Opel Kadette

 

[BTM5]

Toyota Hilux or Land Cruiser 60 or 70, the one Hammond bought is IMO bit to old

 

[Vaioleto]

The dacia sandero.

 

[Viper007Bond]

^ Only if you stick to the roads and don't have to drive down a sand dune (he's it's only two-wheel drive, y'know!).

I thought he was one wheel drive? Oh wait, that was the brakes, wasn't it?

 

[stiggles]

If I was reprising TG's route I'd take a Bowler Wildcat and some oxygen cylinders.

 

[Ford Prefect]

an old Unimog

<That. Or a Discovery 3 with a transplanted TDV8. I'd spend the ?10k on beer, peppered steak, petrol and a winch.
