BS40liam 203 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I've got a jimny some marix puma off road tyres and the little jeep goes pretty much anywhere I point it! Only down fall with it is its not very good on fuel but it will do for now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
killbilly 17 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I've got the older SJ but they are superb, I get all my shooting gear in plus the dog and its very capable off road. I'd be interested myself in one of those but at 6ft 3" I'd be worried about leg-room. Especcially as my left knee is acting up a bit recently. I'd only be taking her on short trips (less than 30 minute drives most of the time) so maybe I might be ok?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like the last post says, there is plenty of legroom in the front, I am 6' and have no problems, the only thing I would watch out for after the general body check is that its not fitted with the original carb, they are garbage, you can fit mini su carbs or they do a webber aswell but there not cheap. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
