Yeh it doesnt wanna work for me lol might be cause I was on my mobile but I cant get youtube on this work computer, Ohwell I'll sort it out after work.

decent effort in the Rodeo BTW.

how's it goes with the v6? little torquey or seem fine?

Yeh especially in low 4 its touchy as all hell bit annoying but got used to it. Its got fairly good gearing in low and does most decents with little to no brake pedal needed.

i miss this piece of crap some days. was a fun rig for the couple months i had it.

my daily/tow car/ 4x4

gq patrol, 4.2 diesel, 4 inch spring lift, 35's

What do you think of the MT/Rs out of curiosity?

i absolutely love them, very quiet on road for how chunky they are (they hum a little but nothing compared to others), seem to do pretty well in the mud although they do clog up a little in low speed mud, nothing a good boot full wont clear out, seem fine on sandstone rocks at pretty much road pressure (havent done much and didnt actually air them down) and on road grip is more than acceptable

overall 4.5/5

you blokes sure give your cars a thrashing off road haha

anyone got atari4x4's contact? He'd probably fit in here well.

i asked someone to invite him yesterday but not sure if anyone did

Yeh I like em aswell Ive got them on my car aswell (me working for a company that is owned by good year has nothing to with my opinion) once this set is gone I want to go down to the Goodyear Duratrac more suited to the road and not as aggresive tread.

im not 100% sure if i will get them again as there super expensive but hopefully these will last me a couple of years and ill see how i go when there worn. would like to go to 37's next time round (the 35's were on the car when i got it)

tuners bro has one thats turboed. fair cracks for what it is, stock engine etc

yeah there is a few getting around that are boosted, i want to slot in the late model big block 2.7L version of the v6 that's currently in it (2.0L DOHC V6)

that jimny is pretty bloody huge, what were the specs? there is so much cool shit available for them these days it's not funny, can see them being just like the sierra's in 15yrs time with a bit of a cult following.

So ive been wanting to give this four wheelin sport a shot for funnsies and wanted to buy something entry class and cheap. I know i wont get much for 3K but what do you guys (mainly Atari) think of the Vitara?

was an 04 i bought brand new back in the day, 5 inch springs. 2 inch body lift. modded shock mounts to run stock shocks, ran up to a 33' muddy but typically a 32. 1.3l petrol 5 speed, welded front diff. all the barwork was done by me. had a flat floor in the back, uhf. really really really needed crawler gears,

if i didnt need to tow a car trailer etc id ditch the patrol for a jimny woth some boost in a heartbeat. had so much fun in that car.

yeah that's the thing, the sierra has zero comfort as a daily but will be awesome offroad, where the Vitara's are a nice car to daily & will do pretty well offroad with some smart driving.

don't buy that one, you'll have a world of pain chasing problems/issues... the weber's for starters don't like angles so it will either stall going down hill or going up hill = real handy.

a mate has a well set up EFI swb hardtop vitara that he's looking to offload as he's just picked up a grand vitara, can get more details if you want Pman?

coiley sierras are alright comfort wise but the arms need beefing up

For Mr Atari/ ENFLAMED and anyone else.

Dont know if you guys get 4wd magazine but they are doin a thing in Birdsville at the start of April and will be doing a photo shoot and what not, a few guys from here are goin down for the week and doing some taravelling down there.

Have you/anyone you know ever been up that way? Would you guys be interested in a interstate uplaters style 4wd meet up? If you or anyone you know would be interested let me know!!

i doubt my truck will be up to touring scratch by then. i wanna sort out my cooling system and get my pump/injectors rebuilt before i go on any sort of long trip.

Yeh Id like to go but doubt Id get the time off of work. Ivebeen there before for work but not as a visiter would be alright as there is a shit tonne of places to drive.

Plus the pubs pretty cool haha
