Hey Chip, Haven't spoken for ages......Hope you're doing well.
Anyway, the Coaster aren't available here in Oz as a 4by (actually I wasn't aware they made them) but there are plenty of 2wd Coasters around that have been converted and they aren't to bad if done properly. I think a company a couple of hours North of us do a conversion using F250 diffs and Landcruiser transfer cases. Some of the tour companies use them but they aren't the strongest things around.
Same with the 4x4 Rosas. OK for light duty offroad use and (as an example) perfect for the snow country resorts in New Zealand where there are plenty of them running around. These were all 2nd hand Japanese imports. There are only a handful of them here but again >> not the strongest thing....not the chassis and running gear so much but the bodies .....which are basically a 2wd Rosa with the FG front diff. You can imagine how much moving around they do on corrugations here.
This is one of the Japanese 4x4 Rosa imports that used to run up the beach near my place. Note the old single Fuso rear wheels on 9.00R16 Michelins. The company that owned this one had 5 Cruisers and this Rosa bus 3 years ago.....now they have 3 x FG buses and one Cruiser. What does that say?
