[THE_Liam]

You guys might like this, its been my step dads project for the last couple of years

I'm strongly considering one of these for caravan dragging...

[Toms306]

The Pajero just looks wrong clean and shiny lol, should be caked in mud!

[maxlee]

be interesting to see what these are like off road bet the tacky chrome looking stuff wouldn't stay straight/on for long

I'm not 100% we can do them tbh, too big, what's the gvw and wheelbase?

Regarding drifting one of these; not sure if the king cab is any better, but the standard 2wd 2 seater job is a tad sketchy - when it goes it f*cking goes lol. No doubt a v8 and mud tyres didn't help mind.

Yeah your not fuckkng wrong, part of the problem is its not really that heavy but has huge wide tyres so when they eventually let go thats alot of grip to suddenly loose. also the steering is about 5 turns lock to lock so the amount of arm work needed to get some opposite lock on makes me feel like Mr Tickle, f*cking arms everywhere.

 Next to no suspension on it now, should be interesting.

Ian that looks immense. Sort a project thread here and stop being an instafag.
I'll FBM you about some tuning.

dum dum well done mate get ti lifted and get green laning!

Thats the plan








Took her out yesterday and got her a little muddy, loads of the apparent green lanes round herer either dont have any access or are subject to TCO's at the minute. Also road tyres really suck when it gets slippy.

Managed to work out what's wrong with the windows, its not the regulator or the motor it's just the switch as prodding wires together makes the window go up and down.

Sorted the washers being shit with new jets, exhaust is being fixed with bodgery and weld, rear fog is being replaced and then its ready for its new MOT although it desperately needs a service as the oil is black and so is the air filter.

Yeah

[THE_Liam]

To be fair, that looks like a great buy for the money even needing work!

[Sambarker]

My bet is you've sold it before fcs!

[Dum-Dum]

Yeah the 4x4 king cabs don't seem to go for less than £1500.

My bet is you've sold it before fcs!

I'm hoping to keep it for a while.It may depend on fuel prices and/or how badly it fails its MOT.

[rocker8742]

Looks awesome dum and seems like a bargain

Cheers buddy, I thought so too.

Here she is with the rallye. Rally and Rallye together

TBH I could really get my drift on in the work mazda B 2500. Was a hilarious thing to do! If this is anything like that then its a lot of fun... for something its not meant to do! haha

[Dum-Dum]

So took it for an MOT this evening after bodging the exhaust and adding some working fog lights to the rear valance and as expected it failed. 6 fails in total. 4 wheel nuts (has 5 out of 6 on each wheel), a number plate light not working and a front CV boot. It's gonna need a new bulb holder and wiring for the number plate light but its all easy enough fixes. Might well have her on the road in time for snow.

Yeah quite. I cant believe they fitted it with an LSD, I dont see why every wannabe drift whore isnt buying the 2wd ones of these to punt round in.

[7057sam]

It's actually growing on me,lift kit and snorkel would look great

Yeah can see this being sold on to buy brwarps for the rallye

[RetroPug]

Nice truck. I'd quite like something like this for no rational reason whatsoever other than I want one!

[Dum-Dum]

Yeah it will be getting lifted, the front suspension is easy as its torsion bars, the rear is barely harder as you just put in longer shackles. I'm gonna import the body lift kit from america but its £200 ish. New tyres will make it 2 inches higher as well. 3" body lift, 2" suspension lift and 1" of extra tyre height making it 6" higher

10 Rational reasons*
1) you need one to tow about your GTi6
2) its great for moving car parts, bikes and drift trikes about
3) you've always fancied taking up green laning
4) its probably safe in a crash
5) you wont be a chav in a hot hatch to women any more
6) its probably safe in an accident
7) it'll be great if/when it snows
8) it'll be great if/when it floods
9) its really easy to work on
10) you want one


Oh and you could sell your FZS for £3500, buy one of these for £1500 and have £2000 to throttle body the GTi6

Surely number 5 just translates to people now think you want to tarmac their drive.

Alternatively, if you can dress yourself, people will just assume you have a really tiny penis.

I like to think of it as snack size

[toseland]

Speak to me about tyres mate.. Cause that thing will be f*cking shocking off-road otherwise

[mr_fish]

Well I approve. We have a ranger, seems to pull on well.

seems easy fixes for the MOT

Normally on a ranger the brake lines rust so just keep an eye on those.

Good purchase IMHO

[Matt-Rallye]

I wanna see this thang in full hill billy (welsh) spec..

Stacks up the back of the cab with rain flaps
big chrome bull bar
more spotlights than a football stadium
axle & body lift kits
dixie rebel tailgate for good measure
oh and some knobbly tyres of course

Also gotta have a CB aerial even if you dont have a CB radio

YESSSSSS!!!
You don't know how much I want a stack with a flapper.
It's getting most of the rest of that stuff but there is no way i'm putting a confederate flag on the back of it especially as I want one of those tailgate mesh nets the VW boys love putting on caddys, also chrome bull bars aren't happening, I want a dodgy looking winch bumper in red oxide.

You know it makes sense, do it!!

[Slam Wagon]

Good luck finding a tailgate net in the uk. Only one i found was custom made and like £150. Ended up diy with old seatbelts.

Yeah I know, I do have loads of old seat belt though but they can be imported for about £100




Anyway I've been out for a bit of 30-70 timing, sadly it wont actually reach 70mph in 3rd so I settled for 20-80 in 4th

30-70mph is about 12 seconds.
20-80mph is about 23 seconds.

Will be seeing how well I can get that down. 7-8 seconds 30-70 would be nice, its never going to be fast 20-80 as its barely off idle at 20mph in 4th.

[Slam Wagon]

£100 just for a tailgate net though. Too steep for me.

Id hate to see how long mine takes. Top speed on the books is only 87 haha.

[Dum-Dum]

Ian if you want I'll sell you my turbo and down pipe for a very fair price when I get the new one on.

[Slam Wagon]

We will talk.

[Matt-Rallye]

Why anyone would have a net instead of a tailgate is beyond me! nothing better than sittin' on the tailgate scoffing pork pies and swigging a beer during a good off roading session on some welsh greenlane somewhere


Although saying that my old 1991 strada (L200 import) had no tailgate at all so i could get my quad on the back
