challenger advise
Posted: Thu Jan 28, 2010 3:05 pm
ok new here so hi,
ive done alot of research in the past few months but id like to pick a few peoples brains and see if i get the same answers as i have found so here goes.
well im currently looking at buying a good reliable 4wd on a budget, i have an xr6 turbo with over 300 kw's at the wheels if anyone is interested btw lol .
my criteria was cheapish, reliable, reasonably modern, interior had to be comfortable and finally minimal electrics just a basic 4wd,
After much deliberation its really come down to a mitsubishi challenger, the 2.8L T GU patrol was a looker but i could save alot of money for mods by going for challenger and i love pajeros just the same deal as the GU.
anyway im looking at the 2001-2004 year range and i expect to build it up quite fast,
can anyone crituque or give some tips/money saving ideas to what i have planned, bare in mind i live in the suburbs and work long weeks so getting out into the mud is not a weekly event :(
-2inch lift
-compressor/locker , i am not familiar how good the rear LSD's are front and rear lockers advisable or can i get away with just the front ?
-wheels, probably looking to get the best wheels i can afford/ fit would 32/33's fit?
-Roof top tent , IS IT TRUE THE ROOF IS NOT RATED HAVE A LOAD MORE THEN 50KG?
well thats my plans, obviously its only a starting point, things like bull bars, dual battery systems etc etc are down the track but this is just to get me out there .
thanks in advance and yes i have used the search function,..... alot lol
