Used to work for a Wheat farmer and drove one of these around for a year.It was a clapped out Petrol that drank like a sailor but only needed a wheel bearing in that time. It towed every auger, every field bin and its party trick was towing out the header when it got bogged with a full bin at harvest.
It would have to rate as the most uncomfortable 4X4 I have ever driven. A true Jeep copy(only better) this vehicle at 100KMPH gave the driver the alarming impression that it wanted to leave the road and go bush at any time.
A true mans car it had the crankhandle for when the battery went flat but we never had to use it. Unfortunately it put me off Nissans for the next 10 years.  In hindsight it was an amazing car. Cooling problems were solved by pulling the radiator out every 2 months and burning the grass seeds out of it.
True purgatory would be driving one of these around Australia. This would proceed at a snails pace I suppose but even a worn out example would almost definetly make it.

God Made Crap Toyota Put Wheels On

When I first got my licence I had a petrol one with no starter motor I had to use the crank Handle evertime it never failed to start with the flick of the wrist.
I was in Paraburdoo at the time we used to load her up with eskies and swags and go to Millstrem wittnoom and around Karagini for long weekends. It had no roof we used to lay the windscreen down and go shooting in it, with the wndscreen down the revision mirror used t0 stick up till it got shot of
it was a beast of a car at the time and went every were we pointed it at even did some trips to Perth in it. I end up leaving Paraburdoo and giving it to a mate for a carton of Pi$$
