Bedford MJ 4X4 Truck at Tank Mania 13/11/10 

Old skool diesel at its best!!! Had the pleasure of a quick spin in one of these at a barracks, 1st gear is practically crawl LOL :)

Great old girl I used to drive them in the Army. Never got stuck either considering the awful places we went.

yep you start in second gear usually unless its a hill

Cool👍

These can easily be picked up at auction for as little as £2500.

@mello398 Just found an ex MOD Bedford MJ4x4 Turbo Diesel ex communications truck (mileage from 9000) with a guide price of £7500 on MOD sales. Bet you could find older examples a lot cheaper than that.

@mello398 I would only buy from one guy..........Dave Crouch at Crouch Recovery. A gentleman and fair trader.

Keep your hands on the outside of the steering wheel and do 10 to 2 steering. You risk breaking your wrists if a wheel hits a rut.
