hi

im new to this forum, obviously trying to move to 4x4 from the dark side of normal cars,

im from bromsgrove (worcestershire) and as yet am frontera-less, looking to swap or sell my current car within the next month or so and concentrate on getting a lwb frontera, not sure which model to go for so any suggestions would be great, hopefully i want to build a daily runner with the capability of a green laning monster........

will be a change from the turbo charged world im living in at the moment but having to stop on the black stuff is getting boring now!!!!

see you soon on the muddy stuff

Dodge :P

Or Gumtree, there's a SWB Sport for £410 just round the corner from you but a Lwb 2.8 tdi is the way to go. Even if you will eventually have to bolt the DMF and fit a trooper clutch.
Unless you find one that's already been done.
If you need something done quickly just ask a busy woman then get the f"k out of her way.
