here's a question.
Had a go in one of these some time ago...... Not as agric as they look.... Good build quality.
looking at an older one still strong £ tho!
2.9 diesel turbo 5 cylinder.... Reputed to be the half million mile motor( in a car)
Question is do they tow well ( the long wheelbase version) will it tow the 1 ton and a triaxle trailer as well as the GC???
Not looking for fast...... GC tows at 55 so just want to be able to know if it goes up hills :hysterical:
-
yes and not as throw away as your zj
-
Tis what I'd hope someone would say.... :icon_twisted:
They seem to be well put together.
Last one I looked at was a 1990 SWB was immaculate and still unmarked grey velour interior, god knows how. Went for over £4
Which was a bit of a shock :jpshakehead:
Hopefully LWB is uglier and less loved. But better for crap carrier and towing......must be a mighty big eBay spares thing going on for these ....I hope
-
They are slooooooooooooooooooooooow
-
Road tested a LWB 300D way back in 84 it was an auto..... :jpshakehead: couldn't get out of the way of itself
So after 30 mins of research this evening tis a big no..... 88 bhp... I think not and they command stoopid money and
Then there's parts arrrrgh
Seem to like em on Crackheads tho.
back to the yank truck pre 73 idea........
-
its not the bhp you need to look at its the torque that counts on a diesel. Mind you can't see it being any slow than the 90' i got here and thats a TD lol ( and this is rated to pull 4 tons) lol
-
had a g400 in today pulls like a train :icon_super:
-
Yeah but that's a V8 and wil be £20,000 plus!!!
-
g300 wont pull the skin of a rice pudding buy a 80 series cruiser
-
tis back to 'sceptic' trucks for me ........
Pig basic Ford 351 + auto or chev 350 +th350/400
Gotta be pre road tax bollix and ready for a cheap barby fuel conversion from Tinley... then I'd be happy with that as a jeep hauler and daily driver...........

Arr yes spotted this.... Reckon it could go for silly £££ what with the cooking oil brigade and the red diesel cowboys.
I'd have it at the current price tho.
-
It's not oldtimer!!!
-
Yup that is the prob, we don't have a proper 25 year rule like we were promised :jpshakehead:
£200 or so is still a few miles in going to events so worth saving by no feckin' tax :icon_super:
-
save time and trailerin?

What you want is a Range Rover LSE, 4.2 V8 210BHP
The extra 8" Wheelbase over a standard RRC make the differance.
They tow luverly.... :icon_super:
Traction control and all that too
(Grabs coat and exits quickly, before the flames take hold)
