One thing i have already noticed is that it rides heaps smoother than the SWB ...one bad thing i have noticed is that when im offroad it tends to get a bit light in the back and may lose traction :x but apart from that i seems ok....
does anybody else know any other stuff :armsup:
i want your opinion..

its a narrow track so it tips easyer, does't follow ruts as well. it should climb steep hills more easily then a swb because there is a greater proportion of the cars weight above the rears wheels holding the front wheels down. The ramp over angle is not as good as a short wheelbase. more space to put your stuff. It will handle better on high range dirt roads.

That is a double edged sword .. there is alsomore weight up fron to balance/wash the front of the vehicle out ..

Idealy you want a pretty even weight split front to rear ..

I'm glad I got a lwb :) Just the room for gear is great (over a shorty anyway)

Overhang sux but I'm not precious about panels :lol: They don't bump steer like shorty's either :)
