Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thanks guys.
Sorted the seat, jack and wheel nut issues.
The stone guard is also gone.
Just need to fit the spots I have for it now.

Thanks lads.
The tool kit is gone but have got the stuff for the jack.
Unfortunately the tyre iron isn't there so now I'm going to have to source one.
I tried with a wheel brace today and it was near well impossible to shift and din't really fit the wheel nuts properly.

A week back I bought a 2002 model 3.0l turbo diesel Patrol DX.
It's only done about 80k on the clock and is a nice vehicle even though it's the base model.
BUT.......it didn't come with the owners manual.
So I don't know where the jack is or what it should look like (scissor/hydraulic) and I also ...

theres nuthin wrong with a kombi, IMHO they have more street cred than ANY other van out there...
My point exactly ! :)
Although I reckon one of those little old Commer vans with reworked suspesion, discs, alloys and a late model OHC engine & 'box would be pretty cool too.
Standard however they ...

What about a crew cab syncro transporter with a canopie, not a full on 4wd but would be a great touring vehicle for a family, with heaps of storage space ?
I have to admit, it did occur to me, but do you know how much Syncro parts are?
No? Either do I and I'm afraid to ask.
A mate has a standard ...

The two cars you mention are prettymuch the squarest cars on the market

i think thats what he is getting at, the missus only wants a boxy car, and so those 2 options are the ones on the top of the wish list...
You understand what I'm getting at, macca.
The thing is, Cruisers and Patrols and the ...

So the Delica 4wd Van isn't any good?

More room in that than a Kombi van I'd say, I havn't looked in one but they fit 8 people.

Plus a proper 4wd.
GET THEE BEHIND ME, SATAN!!! :x
Please don't mention Delica in the same breath as Kombi. :?
One has soul and street cred and the other is yet ...

lifted kombi utes are bloody great! saw a bloke that had that done with cruiser running gear under it, went like a shower of ##### offroad!
Well, I wouldn't bother with Cruiser running gear.
Just get an adjustable front beam and adjustable rear spring plates and push her up with some decent coil ...

Well, we came to a decision.....we're not getting a new 4wd!
We'll keep the Rodeo for the offroad stuff I mostly do.
But the everyday car will be a VW Kombi project I've had in the works for about 7 years.
I love the thing to bits (hell, it is IN bits) but it's going to be completely rebuilt and ...

Mmmm, I'm beginning to think you're right. :neutral:
The biggest problem with the Rodeo are firstly that it has 2 anchor points and can not be fitted with a third.
Next is the overall space issue........I'm REALLY over most of our stuff going in the tray and the cab being piled up to the roof with ...

Mmmm, I think I'd be up against it trying to convince the missus to get a Prado.
She just doesn't like the modern square look, especially the Prado.
And to be honest, either do I.
Incidentally, does the Landy have serious reliability issues?
Even the turbo diesels?
Which other problems do they have?

Here's my situation.
At present I own a '00 Rodeo Dual Cab V6 4x4 which has been a good vehicle for us and was enough room with 2 little boys. It's thirsty but effortlessly covers the miles and has been faultlessly reliable. A lot of the driving I do is either around town (rural NSW) or freeway back ...
