Daihatsu

Has anyone ever owned any of the Daihatsu 4X4's and what did you think of it :think:

had a h reg fourtrak at work once driving above 60 the door tops opened in the wind but wasnt a bad truck it was old and battered but pulled the trailers with diggers on better than most was used as a work horse and did its job well think it was the 2.8 diesel would have agian for work but never had one for private use so as for that no ideas on comfort and stuff

I had a 1986 D reg Daigatsu Fourtrack 2.8TD ELT (The biggest one, with the high roof and rear dicky seats in the boot - 7 seater). Mine was slan sided, I think the wide arched one came out a year or two later.

Was a fun truck, but back in 1992 I did not know much about 4x4's

It towed well - rally car (better than my previous Ford Saphire) and could hold a lot of kit. Was comfortable with 4 adults in - lots of head room.

There was a lot of rust on the front of mine - cost a lot to get repaired. In the end, the turbo went, but I managed to sell the lot for £2K

Drive train was much the same as the Frontera: 2H, 4H 4L but with a neutral on the transfer box for a PTO up front.
Manual hubs on the front
No centre diff
Leafs all round
Adjustable shock absorbers on the fly
Very basic inside
Slide side windows
Only 2 door (plus rear full height door)
Fold, tilt, slide rear bench seat
Huge front tilt/removeable roof panel

Happy memories

One of Gregs mates had one down the woods as a plaything. It was battered to hell and back and then some. It kept coming back for more every time. I really rate them after seeing that.
