140 miles in a sj410, any advice please?

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

You've not driven a V6 156 then? They are just completely wrong!

Although I will admit that 90s are seriously uncomfortable... even as a passenger!

The 90's windscreen vents really get on my tits... its functional yes but it looks like something off a tractor... even on the newer models!

hahah yeah it stinks when it gets hot!!!
Mostly when off roading though, doing low speed, high stress stuff!
Also being moving reduces the effect!
