Seriously considering buying a RR.

Post by **GURU** » Thu Nov 06, 2003 6:16 pm

G'day all,

I am looking at selling my Subaru L wagon and buying a RR as my daily driver. it wouldn't be too crazy (2" spring and maybe a 2" body lift running 33's) but something I can drive to work everyday and tow my project around with and go 4wding and camping in. I would run it on LPG.

I would like to know if you think it would be stupid as having it as my daily driver?

Also can people post pic's of their rangies

my rangie

To answer your question, YES!!!!

buy a rangie.. they're awesome on and off the road..

when my rangie was stock it was a treat to drive on the road.. it felt better than any other old stock 4b I'd driven anyway..
even with a few mods now, it's not too bad on the road..

for the price you get power steering, air con, 4wheel discs etc.. things that a lot of other old 4b's don't have.

but as you can or can't tell, I might be a bit bias, I bloody LOVE THEM!!
:twisted:

G'day james

G'day all,

I've been offered a 4door RR 1984, with LT77, with LPG and rego till march, $2500 off a good friend...only seen highway and gravel road.

I want a RR as a daily driver and towing vehicle with some off roading, won't be used for rock hopping.

I know the LT77 isn't strong, but would it be fine for what I want to use it for? Also do I have to do a body lift to fit 33" tyres on a 4 door?

Thanks heaps

Buy it, get an lt230/lt95 box and transfer case to replace the lt77. You can easily pick this up for around $300 - $500 and fit it, but drive the old one till it breaks

for 33's you'd want a body lift and maybe a bit of guard / inner guard cutting to avoid scrubbing.

That sounds like a good price for an 84 mate

I'll take it if you don't want it :lol:
