Hi Guys

I am thinking about purchasing my first 4x4 and have the following in mind and was wanting some feedback.

Am thinking about a SWB FJ40, with lift kit and 33 or 35 tyres, engine I am unsure about but the standard 2f should be fine for the short term until I learn more about 4x4ing and the setup of the vehicle. Was hoping to be able to get one with removable hardtop (if these exist) with a 3in roll cage.

What is it going to be used for is the following:- camping, fishing and of course 4x4ing in Vistorian high country with a view of headin up North in the coming year or 2 (may be a little small for a trip like this though)

Questions?
1. What would I expect to pay for something like this in reasonable condition?
2. What are some things to look out for when purchasing?
3. What is insurance like for one of these (I am 25yo)?
4. What alternatives do I have around the same size and price unto about $10000?

Any help would be appreciated.


Cheers
