depends on what u want to do with it and how much u want to mod it.

You will fit in a sierra easy. I am 6ft and that is ok. Mate was about same size as you and was ok in there, may need to get a smaller steering wheel but easy enough

i have had mq's/gq's

i just want some ok lift, 2inch spring, 2inch body, maybe some shackle, only want to run some smallish muddies, and just use it as my daily driven and weekender, maybe add some lockers too.

there is just something about seirra's that makes me want one lol

are they really that capable?

Mine out drives things with 33-35's! :cool:

It's that mines a narrow track so i cant stay in the ruts i straddle them and it makes it easy! :twisted:

Zooks are the most fun to drive too! Like a big go kart and with lockers will just keep going untill they break or roll! :twisted:

You size should be alright i think but take one for a drive then you'll know! The sierra is the go if you want to mod heaps or a vitara if you want to mod a little bit! The vitara would be way better on road! :cool:

Just find a soft top in a car park and make yourself at home :lol:

A mate of mine fits your description exactly and he has no worries at all getting around in his Sierra - it's never going to be luxury, you get used to the inevitable discomforts every zook owner at first has to deal with, and then eventually ends up getting strangely attached to :P

Im 6"4'+ and bout 120kg, i fit in my zook really comfortably. But ive had some guys the same height as me and skinnier who couldnt fit because they have really long legs and get squished. You should be right

get a vitara, way better on road for a daily drive and not too bad off road but they are still a hair dressers car with an IFS front end. another vote to the vitara. i drive mine a fair distance daily & is still quite comfortable day to day!

hair dresser car never herd that fing classic... :rofl:

as for the sierra i dont know if id like to drive mine every day on freeways they are fairly slow and wind thows them around allot.

if i was goin to have mine as my only car and not just a fck around weekend car. i would do RUF and prob fit a 2 liter or something. AND prob a hardtop or a a real good fiberglass roof on it.

Cheers

I'm a midjit, but anyway; I know someone who is nearly 7ft and at least 130kg, and he drove a sierra a couple of times as a company car, basically he reckons he can drive one, but can't pasenger as not enough leg room (parcel tray partially responsible). BTW my sierra has more room than my parents XJ cherokee (its pathetic for room). Never been in a hair dressers car :lol:

X2. Lightly modded for light to medium wheeling. Make a great daily driver and a heap more comfort than a sierra (ask me how I know).

If you want to get a little more serious then you can start looking at SAS etc. Check out Antt & A1's buildups if you want to see how capable these things can get. :cool:
