60's are all about lots of power and huge footprint. They'll do everything methodically and slowly. But parts and fueling them is expensive.
Brumby's are about light footprints and agility. You can do most things provided you have one set up right, and they're cheap to run.
Like an Elephant vs a Goat.
After driving two of them (one very modified 60 - 6" Lift, massive tyres, full compliment of lockers and my bog standard, soon to be modded brumby, I can say I'd take the 60 if I was 4x4ing in hardcore places EVERY weekend. Since I don't, my brumby is ideal.
Driving a 60 in traffic is messy, though it has a sense of lording satisfaction.
Take whichever one makes you smile the most!
Well actually you can, depending on what you are using it for.B00sting wrote:

Yeah mate I realise that, but having driven my personal brumby offroad (I have 4wd training/recovery) and the work landcruisers I think cruisers are much better for serious offroad work. Don't get me wrong the brumby goes places but for serious work I prefer the cruiser. The engine is amazing (4.5L V8 diesel) you can idle up most things lol.vincentvega wrote:Well actually you can, depending on what you are using it for.
Horses for courses. I would take my lib any day now over a cruiser, for what I use it for.
Dont get stuck thinking you need a 4" lift to go offroad either. The most capable brumby I know of has only a 2" lift and stock suspension. It has a lot to do with the driver too.
