mid wheel base is better both swb and lwb have there advantages and disadvantages what it comes down to is which advantages you want over the other advantages

you asked for it bud

Seriously though, it's up to you which is better or worse. Shorties are more manouverable in and around tight obstacles, rampovers, etc. but they can be pigs to drive on road and flatter sections as the dip and bob a lot. On steep verticles they're probably more likely to roll end-for-end than a wagon would too.

I've been in many situations when i've driven a section with difficulty and the shorties have blitzed it. Likewise i've driven sections whereas the shorties have gotten themselves into some very horrible situations trying to do the same.

You can carry passangers as well as equipment in a wagon if that's important to you. For wheelin adventures a shortie is really a two-seat vehicle as the back will be full of gear. *edit* not relevant as your MK's a ute!!
Middies, i believe, are the way to go. I've never been fortunate to drive one, but they are becoming, ever increasingly, more and more popular amongst serious offroad competitors. I've heard it's easier to lengthen a SWB than it is to shorten a LWB. *edit* being a ute i'd say it's probably easier just to shorten this than lengthen a shortie????

Horses for courses imo. Personally i hate leaf sprung 4wd's, esp. front end, so i reckon you're flawed there with your MK anyhow. But that's just my opinion.

this is a little bit better

Hi there all.

I had a swb patrol with 36 simex and efs lift kit. It did not get through the bog holes to well, but was really good on tight tracks.

I have now sold my swb and have bought a 86 mk patrol ute and I've done a few mods, but it is still in the making.

But, really am I on the right track with a lwb??

So let me know everyones opnion on whats better swb or lwb?
Regards

[gurujosh]

so thank you for the grammar lesson bogged more help than i got
at school

[bubs]

MWB, nothing more

[macca81]

so i dont think the fact he is a tassie boy is the prob, i think its more the part of tassie that hes from....


ahem ahem....




right, shorten ya wheelbase 6 inches, then cut ya chassis off 2 inches behind where your rear shackles end up touching under full flex.



and bogged, in the last sentence there should be a comma after the word better... that aside, ill mark you with an A, just keep this in mind for your next essay.

[gurujosh]

i think alot of people
r very checky on here
when u r only after a little advice
thanks anyway i hope i give u all a good
laugh ha ha ha ha
and hope to c u all in the mud bogged to your axle"s.
anyway so how about u tassie blokes r you"s going to the mud race
at agfest grounds on the 24/11/07 .thanks for the grammar lesson to bogged
regards josh

[txhog]

Play fair Bogged, you spoil the tech section by ranting about spelling. Leave the fun for General section.

Anyway Shorties GQ are better than station wagons. Any Patrol Ute is more capable than any SUV

[macca81]

nope, not goin to the races, goin 4wding down near snug that weekend, if ya wanna tag along feel free....


and yes, many are cheeky on here, and some are both cheeky and no help at all (bogged). but most will still give you abit of advice at the same time.


and by 'you tassie blokes', i think you will find there is only a small handfull on here... allmost everyone here is a dopey mainlander



*dons flame suit.....*
