blackjack Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Hmm, the Suzuki Carry looks to be a pretty capable 4x4 to me. Light weight gives you a distinct advantage in sand, having owned both an early Subaru and a Toyota Forerunner [Surf] on the beach and in sand dunes the Subaru was better, the Toyota was better in mud, mainly because with its better clearance it tended not to bottom out as much and the tyres were more aggressive. For most prospectors clearance would be the key criteria I guess, but my Subaru got me to some remote places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakejim Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 My neighbor had a 1961 Corvair Loadside. A very rare one, and all original. I got in touch with a Corvair club nearby. One of the members picked it up and it is being restored. snakejim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
