the sj413 are a lot better on fuel and of road but for downhill they do lack the torque of a diesel i prefer the fourtrak 2.8td diesel great on and of road plus more room inside

I was thinking the same as mine is a 2001 20ltr petrol & it goes every wear just the ground clearance lets it down compared with a landy etc. I have 15yrs off-road experiance & very rarelly been boged could count on 1 hand in that time. Iv had 2 stags etc in mine & thats just road tyres on it i was looking at the general AT/2's but i do well with what i have.

SJ's are great off road but terrible on road especially if u've got many miles to do. vitaras are capable on & off & modified ones are readily available on ebay. the older manual TD's are hard to find but are really good, I was selling mine but have decided to keep it. Watch for the rot though, sills & arches ;)
