A couple of my kickboxing students owns a 4x4 accessory business, they will take this for a couple of days for a make-over. :thumbup:

They do however specialize in Toyota and Land Rover .... :cry:

One days when I am big I will also own a Hilux, but soon have to drive my wife's :Geek:

HENRY!!! :wth: :o: ..... From monster Surf to THAT!!! :shock: What can I say .... you won't be keeping it long if you're a keen off roader! Rather get your wife to join the forum! :D: :wink: ... I wondered why you were so quiet for so long! :lol: :wink:
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

:lol: :lol: yeah Mud Dog, I was quiet coz I didn't have a Lux or 4x4. I have never had a vehicle for longer than a year, guess I was spoilt working at BMW's manufacturing plant for 11 years driving 3-4 new/different vehicles a year.

Got a good deal at Jeep so I'll wear sunglasses for a few months everytimer I drive it :lol:

Congrats Animul,

IMHO you now own the 2nd best brand of 4x4 on the road, and once modified right these Jeeps are be very(extremely) capable... I've learnt to respect them over the years more and more... even considered selling my SFA for a 4L Sport... :oops:

Mr_B, I have to confess .... I first need to drive something second best to learn some offroading before going to the best and apply it properly :D:

For now only tyres, bumpers and winch .... that should be enough until a Lux recover me one day :wink:

I saw how the Rubicon made the 4x4 Jamboree obstacles look so easy. My brother-in-law and I came 5th on the Jamboree and 7th overall after the mountain route (in a Jeep CJ2). And the overall winner was a Jeep ....

Time to update your profile...

Vehicle: 4x4less at the moment

You can do a long term report for us on the Jeep... will be interesting... yes they are very capable in standard form, do a few mods and they become very potent!
