exactly, im reading a book from some lads that took a stock sj only problem they had was the 410's gearbox! a linkage part i think it was managed to find its way in to the cogs and ruined a few cogs and but they managed to re weld the cogs in to shape :er: and few other bits shocks steering and so on but no major problems, so hopefully keep the sj sweet till we go few little niggles to fix up, overall really looking forwards to the trip in a SJ!! :D

Hi.

I know a couple of lads who did it in a mini. They said a few sj's were in it too.

Take spare tyres!

I'd love to do a long road trip in my zuk, got a few more bits to do to it first though, hope all goes well and smooth.. Take plenty of spares with you, a little trailer would be a good idea I pulled a heavy duty trailer which had landrover wheels on it and the zuk barely noticed it was there..
