Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi all
which of the above two is better? Does it simply come down to personal preference or is one better than the other? i'm in the hunt for either and just wanted to hear other peoples opinions

CHeers

went thru the same thought process myself. always liked tuff looking shorties but went the wagon so i could fit more stuff in for camping.

they say shorties wheel stand a bit more than the wagons....

Might seem alittle left field, but I've had short and long Suzukis.....Different kettle of fish, I know, but same principal. In my opinion the lwb is the pick, more stable, better ride, less prone to going end for end........The trade off is less ramp over (so lift it!). I just bought a Lwb GQ, after my last short suzi did a backflip trying to climb a steep hill. Then I went and bought a rough and ready Lwb Sierra

LWB = always more capable on steeper climbs/etc (depending on lift tyre combination) and more practical. Too long and ugly imo

SWB = Very capable and scary (ie; wheel standy) when modded.
Not very practical, but roomier than a zook/rocky.
Look really good when modded.

wat do you want to use the vehicle for?

just 4wding in general, like to hit the big mudholes, hills etc. Places like dissa and tallarook in vic

do you need the extra room of a LWB?
is it just for you and the missus? or kids also?

na just myself and maybe a passenger

go the shorty then
just be carefull on hills

I've got a shortie and love it, but now that we have a kid and another on the way.. its time to look for a lwb.. otherwise I'd be keeping the shortie.

good plan, but the Mrs wants to come along on weekends, with the kids, and the dogs!. . hard to fit em all in a shortie.. unless I put the mrs and the kids on the roof rack, but she might object to that..

get her to drive the LWB so you have a recovery vehicle

Mate just bought a shorty best thing I have done, its great, considering all that I have had are hiluxs.

Goes great offroad to, can be a little scary on hills though...........

get a wagon or turn a shorty into a midi.
shortys take it in the ring for anything steep.
