    Anyone into 4x4 offroading/green laning

    I've been working on an izuzu trooper 3litre short wheel base!

    The story goes like this,

    My dad a 3.1litre big horn but it had to go chasis was rotten and all sorts, with being in a trooper owner club we heard alot about the 3litre curse and how unrealiable they can be.

    After telling him not to buy a 3L he bought one and the problems began; Diesel in coolant none of the fixes worked.

    so this is were the engine conversion came in!

    3L to 3.1L boom

    almost done been a canny little project.

    Anyone else done anything like this would be good to see!

    if you have money to burn carry on cos you will never be satisfied with what you have ,big wheels dif lockers winch s guards , all you do is try harder to get stuck ,which is the whole point of off roading no fun if you can get through the mud easerly
    if you must try it buy a sj Suzuki brilliant little off roader to start with and cheap 003.jpg

    None.
    owned a couple of them including a pajero, a shogun and had a freelander at one point. TBH just not for me. Ive took them all off road and I do get it but id rather spend less money on something like I have now, be able to drive through the country lanes when its sunny and just enjoy it aswell as being able to use it everyday. 4x4 just not for me. if I wanted to waste spend that sort of money though id just go spend it on doing a transit up :)

    I'm into 4x4 as well. We installed 3" suspension lift kit in a Grand Cherokee and added a winch as well.
