Just picked up my sj

Post by Smarty » Tue Jan 21, 2014 5:57 pm

Hello, just picked up a sj413 with only 60k on the clock with history to prove, not bad for 24 years old! Needs a bit of a clean up and a few things sorted but can't wait to get her out and muddy!

What I know so far is that it has;

2" lift
410 transfer box
Rear disc conversion
SU carb
Winch bumper
Custom rear bumper
Harnesses
Roll cage

Opinions welcome!

Looks to have potential!!

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure I followed that car around the old off road place (Langdale Quest) up in North Yorks back in 2005, driven by a father and son. I was in a Freelander (oh well, you learn!!)

Looks like its had the more tasteful proper mods. Should be a nice little truck with a bit of a tidy up.

Thanks, that's very likely. Bought it off a friend who has owned it since 2003 and only used it at off road events so expect it was!

Yeah seems to have been set up quite nicely so far. As said needs a tidy, came with new doors and a few other panels to go on then will repaint! After a bit of rust has been seen too lol thanks for the welcome!
