Outer Limits 4x4 Board

cmon guys this was slightly funny 2 months ago in chit chat, do we really need every second thread hijacked with this crap???? to answer the OP in nsw there is every chance that the kit COULD be engineered. Best to find a local engineer or one you would be willing to travel to and take the info to ...

Hey all,

Hey all, Just wondering how the Cherokees like the extreme sports ED are like offroad. With some M/Ts, Rear Locker and a lift are they great offroad? They are so so much cheaper then a cruiser or patrol and well they are something different. Just wanted to hear some thoughts., I have asked before ...

as for parts though you can get some sent to you from the states for a jeep, or you could get a toyota and get them within five minute drives from your house. Yeh well aware of how easy it is to get parts for cruisers and patrols but they are twice the price. Still just weighing up my options. Hey ...

they are cheap for a reason man. its american, harldly anyone (mechanics) really know or should i say could be assed to actually work out how to fix some of the niggling little issues associated with them. most people see a jeep and run. but aside from some of the bad publicity that comes with the ...

Grand is coils all round XJ cheorkee is leaf rear coil front Rear dif's are different, the alloy 44 then latter grand can be a little hard to find lockers cheorkee is prob cheaper to mod but not by much the grand is the one with all the luxo items inside loads of info just google them you will have ...

Hey again.

Im just trying to work out the differences between the two jeeps. Im mostly interested in their off-road ability.

1995-2001 is the sort of era im looking at. The car will be modified to do medium to hard 4x4 tracks. Lockers lifts etc.

Thanks for the help.

Thats good to know thanks mate. I am just so surprised how cheap they are and Im not sure why. Compared to the wrangler that holds its value really well.

No kids the back is going to be gutted seats out and im going to set it up for big camping trips.

Hmm thanks mate thats interesting to hear. What I didn want to hear was that it would compare to a Pajero or a Prado or something along those lines. The XJ are currently looking very promising.

More opinions would be great. Thanks mate.

Hey all. Just wanted to know how the jeep Cherokee would compare to the gq gu or an 80 series? I dont really know anything about jeeps so just looking for an idea. They seem to be rather cheap and I can get a Jeep with some leather and a few luxuries that is a 98-00 model for 8-10k. Which is alot ...

Yeh thats a good point. I will need to get fuel. I understand what you mean about the wrangler they are a pain in the ass. I wish I could bolt my seat from my Hyundai not the best car in the world but man I love their seats. Why can't you, seriously. Seats make for a comfortable run, and, suzi ...

Yeh thats a good point. I will need to get fuel. I understand what you mean about the wrangler they are a pain in the ass.

I wish I could bolt my seat from my Hyundai not the best car in the world but man I love their seats.

Thats interesting as I fit in my brothers wrangler. I would not say with ease but I certainly fit in it. I can deal with that sort of comfort or lack of. Yeh replacing those concrete slab seats that the zooks have would be the first thing I will do to it.

I wont need to drive for more then 3 hours very often I would not think.

So that sounds positive.

Thanks everyone for the replies that really helps I was told that I would not fit at all. This is obviously BS. I dont have any friends that have a zook. Brother has a wrangler parents have a pajero all my friends hate 4wding (I found this out after i became their friends) Thanks once again it looks ...

Hmmm how annoying. I really hate having to mod a vehicle just to fit in the bloody thing. I just dont want a patrol that much and the Sierra is such a good 4x4.

How easy is it to mod the steering wheel so that it would be above my knees?

Thanks for that mate. Interesting to see what he has done to fit. It doesn seem to be that difficult to do.

Are they LWB zooks the same sort of build?

Hey all again. I have been absent for a bit still reading daily but no posts. I am still looking to buy a 4x4 but money is the issue atm. I was wondering about suzuki sierra as they are a very capable machine and for some reason I love the look of them. What I want to know is will I fit in one. Im ...

Thanks for the replies. I will still look for a patrol or and 80 series. I think I would prefer a LWB anyway. Well I think I like the look of the SWB more but LWB just seems to be more capable.

Thanks again.

Ok cool but they are still nothing compared to a Patrol or cruiser. Travel problems etc.

Why are the SWB pajeros considered such a better 4wd? Is this actually the case?

It would totally depend on how difficult these tracks are that you will be on. The Sierra is without a doubt the better car offroad but they are horrible on road. The Vitara is a much more comfortable drive.

I believe my Tom Tom GPS is out. As my Hyundai speedo says Im at 100 the GPS says I am at about 93. I have not really checked but based on the rest of the traffic the speedo seems correct.

Its a 2000 Hyundai so I wouldn think that it would be out by that much mind you it is a Hyundai.

Are we sure the GPS is not out. I have been told that the speed they show can be very incorrect.

Are older pajeros in the same off road capacity as say the GQ and Cruiser or even the discos? Once money is spent on them are they just as capable or am I better off waiting for a well priced GQ/Mav, cruiser or disco? I have gone off getting a SWB as I want to use the space in the back to setup an ...

Does anyone know the dimensions of the GQ. From the front seats to the back door?

If I get one I want to strip the back out and re-do it all camper style.

How is it possible I didn find that :S anyways thanks mate.,

Why is there no section for Nissan Rig set ups?

Its a little bit sad was looking forward to looking through them all to get some help with what I might do with one if I ever get one.

If you have pictures of ur Rigs PM me or post them here whatever is easier cheers.

What do you think would be the right price to spend on a series 2?

And as far as biggest model goes there is only 1 size, series2 has a slightly bigger boot area than a series 1 and a D3 has biggest/most useable boot of all - but they are 40k plus. Cheers mate so Series two is prob best option. There have been a few on ebay for 7k. Yeh there are no car yards ...
