DodgySam Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I have seen a few people on here have offroad toys. What do you have, whats done to it, what are you planning on doing next. I will get round to putting mine up but im in the middle of playing msn tag with Dave 10speed. brb! ok...photo edit time! Its nothing flash but its mainly a bike hauler for when i head to the forest to go riding. All I've done to it is raise the front an inch or so to level out the stance and put in an LSD so it has more traction in the wet and when im on gravel/mud/sand.

DodgySam Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Does anyone know what kind of issues/difficulties I will come across if I want to have this kind of bumper on my ute? I have airbags in the truck so I wont be able to remove the top portion of the bumper but thats fine. If I dont alter the bumper/airbag triggering system will it be ok as far as certs are concerned?

mjrstar Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Image no workey?? I fitted a hilux front bumper and winch to my old v6 pajero, didn’t have any airbags to worry about on that one, there was a bit of stuffing around to make the ends look kosher but it didn’t turn out too bad in the end.. Before: After Currently the old pajero is living the easy life at my olds farm down in chch I dropped it down there when I started working in auzzie. I’m thinking I’d like to get a fuel hungry unreliable late 90’s v8 range poser to roll around at 18l/100km with a decent exhaust to get a bit of a rumble on. It would have plenty of room to carry tools for numerous roadside repairs.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvmyvl Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I got a 92 Pajero. bought it for $2000 just over a year ago. Only thing i have changed is put a light bar on the roof with 4 8" spot lights, a respectable sound system that does 138ish Db's and a new marine battery. Also mounted a plate for a removable front towbar. when i bought it, it had just had the heads done and motor rebuilt. A new LSD in the arse end and locker in the middle. only use it for fishing and doing donuts on my brothers back lawn at the mo. only done about 1000 kms since i bought it. The All Terrains that are on it are capable of off road, but i find they hold the dirt to much and turn into slicks. Here it is with the front towbar and a rod holder and bait board i made up for it.

UTERUS Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I have had a SIIa land rover which was stock with 700-16 tractor tyres, and also a SIII with 186, parabolic lift leaves, cage and 31x10.50 cooper mud tyres. Been driving off road since i was old enough to reach the pedals, I might get a diesel disco one day/again and get back into it, but really, coupe life.

shizzl Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 how did the old landys go??? i love old poop,so could be an option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTERUS Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 They were fucking noisy/bouncy/shitty to work on/crap visibility. So I wore ear plugs on the open road, installed fxgt seats, roped the brother in to work on it, and walked tracks i knew I wouldn't be able to see from the cab (but you should be doing this in tricky situations anyway) The old man and I also restored a SIIa but with a 245 hemi and BW35 or torqueflite, i can never remember the trans. The series LR's are sweet if you are into that era of british shit, but the best deal at the moment would be a diesel auto disco, superior low range to japanese 4wd's and solid diffs with coils. Lift kit and dislocation cones on a disco means wicked articulation. After driving with an auto off road, I would never go back to a manual, auto is so much smoother and lets you keep both hands on the wheel for longer.

UTERUS Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I never broke axles, maybe I was too smooth. Diesel turbo with auto is boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
