Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey guys i am thinking about buying a troopy, but we have 3 kids and one on the way so we need atleast two child seats, one rear facing and one forward facing, can ya do it with a sideways facing seat or do i have to get a troopy with two rows of seats???

Yeah i know this was the first place i checked to be honest with ya and i have spoke to a fella last night, his car is number 2 on the list

Yeah its a big gamble i know.... i hate the fact i got to gamble but the missus said she wanted this one and well we all know how that ends right :p

All the cars around here are WAY overpriced, we looked at a 91 80 series with over 350km on it for 16k!

I have looked at a few for sale here, there ...

Looking at a GQ auto with 300000km on it, should i be worried about the box or anything big? or is it the normal 300k problems like bushes etc etc??

Not had a patrol before just need to know where to start looking.

Cheers

i got a list of questions for him tomorrow when we talk, then i got to get my butt down to sydney too look at it, don't like the idea of flying to buy a car, sorta compels you to buy it even if it aint perfect cause ya got to get home :p trying to find someone to take me down so i can drive it home.

Sarcasm, i was trying to make the point that i am not in a position to drive 500 km to test drive a car without knowing its worthwhile, you know. Ill give a refundable deposit when i reckon that i have enough info to make the trip worthwhile, its not i got the "poopsies" at all, i just thought that ...

Yes i drove 500km to test drive it and drove back to ask the questions......

The only reason i posted here asking about the year is cause when i spoke to the caryard i forgot to ask the year and if it was EFI, so rather then ring the fella at 10pm i though i would ask here, i am not buying it ...

it was more i could not quite make out the sticker, thought someone who has one would be able to recognise the shape and know what it was... figured it was a efi stick but wasn't 100% sure

Is there a problem with the gear boxes or is it just generally? i have heard the boxes are pretty tuff or am i misinformed? was tossing up between a 80 series or a GQ but i could not find a decent cruiser for the same money... only the old 4.0L 60 series motors... plus i think the GQ is a little ...

What year do you reckon this patrol is???

i think i am going to buy it but i want to know what year model it is
and if its EFI or carby, Cheers

i been dealing with Jeeps for about 5-6 years and have NEVER seen any jeep catch fire, never met anyone who has seen one catch fire......


i think its more mis-informed people jeep bashing!!!!

been here for 5 years now and no talk of closing its here to stay

looks good guys!

yeah i agree with what he said :p seems almost rehearsed think we have all typed something like that before

i would not worry too much, just patch it up at some stage, mine has a little showing through where your talking about mate

hey mate, there are not a real lot of inherent problems, they tend too overheat a little in soft sand and slow driving for ages, but they are a fairly tough little rig, love mine mate!

ouch! i have always wanted a J10, nice trucks

just cut the damn roof off one hehe would be a good look anyway different

just buy my XJ man, i think everyone has missed a couple of important facts

1. Auto is good in sand and mud cause you don't loose any momentum
2. downhill sucks as they run on (speaking from experience)
3. but you don't have to be as experienced as it chooses the best gear to do anything in ...
