Hi,
I've very recently bought a near perfect '96 Gen 3 after several years of old Mercedes sheds. I love the old Mercs but I keep killing them by using them as vans, so something a little more rugged was required.
I've driven a few Gen 2's and Landcruisers over the years and an awful lot of Landrovers (I've only ever been stuck in a Landrover, never in a Toyota) as a lot of my work involves building 'Big Boy's Toys' in forests or open land but always well offroad. Think huge wooden structures, walkways, stages, bars and the like.
Anyway, having been spoilt by the serenity of Merc driving, I thought I'd go for a Gen 3 SSRG. I must say I like it. I have curly hair and my hobbies include doing my nails and musicals....
Seriously, time will tell how I get on with it. I'm interested to see if it gets stuck anywhere. I can call on a Manitou to haul me out if necessary but if that does become necessary, you guys on here can hopefully get my mind right and point me in the right direction of the correct model to have to keep me mobile in often very wet, boggy conditions whilst towing trees or carrying telegraph poles on the roof.
Where do I get a roof rack for one of these?
I've read a lot of this forum and find it very informative. I hope I may be of use in the future.
That's the introduction done.
I'll think of a daft question later.
Triv.

), but the trucks seem up to most other things. Good luck with it and post pics.
