Somehow the expressions used here make me think it's to make us rush and get the manuals out :D Which I did!

So before you ask! Kerb weights: 3 door petrol: 1561 to 1700 kg; diesel 1890 to 1825 kg. 5 DOOR: Petrols - 1723 to 1800 kg; Diesels - 1784 to 1920 kg.

No.... :D

just wondered why people put toyota axles under their fronty's. Seems a big swap to still be on leaf springs.. guess thats why i never went through with doing mine. :roll:

But.... disco ones are near enough the same size, and are of course, coil sprung...

I also wanted to be around 100 inch wheelbase for my project. But of course, thats right in the middle of the sizes.. :roll:

Lots to think of... but swb is winning at the moment. :wink:

I know its a pitifall reply, but why not just get a disco or rangey for off roading, seems a lot of work to end up with something like, well, a disco or rangey.

Robert Llewellyn and Lisa Rogers may be interested in filming this too :)

A seriously interesting idea though.

Re: a quick question.... by jonny ramrod on Tue Aug 26, 2008 1:01 pm
i already have a v8 disco as an everyday vehicle... i just like doing things different. If you turn up at any play day you will find plenty of L/R there.. Also want to try and go down a different route to the more 'usual' toyota axles.

Only downside with a v8 is their dislike of the wet stuff....and i do love to paddle..(drif has picture evidence..)

So may be a diesel, and may be a lwb, but with a difference.. :wink:
