Any good for what? Depends on what you want to do in it?

In short- it's probably not as good for hardcore off roading as say, a LR Defender or Toyota Landcruiser (lacks rear difflocks etc.) but they have their own appeal and hold up well in offroad situations. The UK/US 4Runner is the same vehicle as the Hilux Surf but badged differently. More info on 4Runner/Surf here:

any good in terms of reliability and for green laning

considering the disco has only got the centre difflock anything more would be a bonus

im still out for the landcruiser though its just finding the right one at the right price

patience is called for of which i dont have much

A 4Runner/Surf would be fine for most greenlanes- even for quite extreme offroading. A Landcruiser might be physically too big for some lanes (and definately a bit of handfull in town)- but ultimatly is the better offroader.

Here's a picture I took today of a 4runner/Surf doing some more extreme stuff at Avon Dassett Quarry!
