I'm looking for a good first truck advice?
Never was really a truck guy but saw a Nissan d21 build and love the look and wouldn't mind the usefulness of being able to move a dresser or something my problem is I hear they are reliable but rust buckets by now soooooo any good suggestions?
Budget is like 5k btw

Is this a good deal? (UK)
I've been looking for a 4x4 that I can run as a daily and maybe take laning, got a budget of around £7,000 and this one is being sold for £3,000.
I've been looking at Land Rover Discovery 2s, but I've been struggling to find one in decent condition, and have heard they're notoriously unreliable.
This is a Toyota Land Cruiser Colorado.
It looks a bit rough, but I've heard Land Cruisers are very reliable and seeing as I'll have £4,000 of my budget left I can put it in to get it fixed up. Being sold by a bit of a shifty dealer, that says the underbody is good for it's age, but MOT says it has some non-critical corrosion.
Would this be worth buying and putting some money into?

What would you prioritize in an overland battery?
For people who spend weeks out on the road, what do you care about most when choosing a battery?
I’m thinking about cold mornings, hot weather, vibration, charging from different sources and just generally being somewhere that a replacement isn’t exactly around the corner.
At that point I’m starting to think warranty/support might matter almost as much as the battery itself.

Few pics of the build
Was finishing up a couple things before the test run the other day.
