Exactly. Availability is the main problem. And even McDonald's don't have hutts on the menu. They'd do well replacing the rather questionable contents of their nuggets with bantha beef, though.

There you go. AWD for the forest.

I do love the Mazda, though. That's my speed for sure.

And by definition and spirit, this comment absolutely belongs in this thread.

Edit: And I'm pretty sure I don't understand the joke you make, unless it's a shot at people who like rotaries, which... ok.

Look up utes in Australia. A WRX or STI ute would sell down there.

I suppose raising the suspension by 7" shouldn't be a problem, but I'm afraid this fails my criteria. It's definitely not cheap and I'm pretty sure it doesn't have diff locks. I can't be arsed to look it up though.
(That last bit is to keep this OT, by the way, I wouldn't say something like that in any other thread.)

In other news, I just found a Nissan King Cab 2.4L diesel that ticks all the boxes except it's not quite rust free, I might go have a look at that.

That is what I would do to in the circumstances you are looking at.
I do love how they have a Mustang on the can though as my mother's 64 1/2 (looked just like that one) was probably 40% the stuff!
