i wish i could say yes but the trak is just like a big sj with coils ,a diesel oh and reliable
it was fun the old sj but it comes a time when even someone like who like's working on 4x4's gets pissed off with working on it and not driving it,thats why in the end it went
Re: oh how it sucks to not have your sj on the road
Ah but parrot, nothing was actually broken The gearbox whine was because some twat who owned the vitara it came out of before me put the wrong oil in it; but it was still going strong! and as it was coming out I though i might as well get a rocklobster built and the drain bung moved on the dual transfer case as i didn't like it's position (the one I've got was originally going in a vit)parrotveasey81 wrote:i feel sorry for you little zuk boys with your broken trucks and that,i was there once but now i have a fourtrak and my only trouble is all the zuk boys and lr boys are always broken so i need to go out on my own to play in the mud oh thats if my bfg's stay up what a crap tyre
You can't say you've never broken the fourtrack
Either way the more you modify any truck the more problems you will get as you are putting components through stresses and forces that they were not originally designed for.

Re: oh how it sucks to not have your sj on the road
im with u on that, i just wanna drive mine.
i have pretty much made the decision im gunna have to sell mine. since moving out i just havnt got the time space or equipment to sort it.
i need a road car due to the need to travel and it cant stay on my parents drive forever.
such a shame as i will never get the money back ive put into it.
my only other option is to try get hold of a sound body and swap it over to my chassis.
cant really afford to pay someone to do the welding for me or i would just get it done.
will let you know when ive decided but its looking like im gunna get someting a bit more practical because i wanna take my mountain bike to north wales more often.

Re: oh how it sucks to not have your sj on the road
sounds like it could work but it aint got no seats so getting it to you might be a problem. i was planning to take the body off to do it.
it isnt at my house so it might be a few days before i can get photos in the light. defo worth a shot tho cuz i really dont wanna lose it.
