I have been looking at toyota hilux or ford econoline's that i might convert to wfp, as theyre about the same size engine 2.5/2.8 and can carry the weight. Ive seen a few people using nissan navaras or the like.

DavidX - I don't know if you're larking around about a hummer, but If you mean it I wonder what your custies will think and how that will detract from your business.

hi.

I will post a pic of me 110 defender tomorrow. it has to be the ultimate wc motor it can carry 1000kg as standard and tow 3500kg, cheap to maintain and can be run on standard veg oil when the tanker drivers are on strike.( can be converted to run on veg oil all the time also) and the best thing is they hold thier price. I wont explain how its set up but will take pics tomorrow.

Not the best pictures,  but its a 650L tank with 2 fixed hose reels.  I recently swapped the 1/2 inch for minibore.  I would always recommend running a van and a car to running a 4x4 though, especially with fuel prices going ^.

The thing is WW, it's sometimes, if not often, nice to be able to zoom in on some detail and not get a faceful of pixels.
