Jesus Buddah man youve attracted some dickhead no-nothin kids by the looks of it.

Youve done well with both rigs and its a good feeling to not have to worry about damaging your rig.Just watch those lokkas as I had one destroy my rear diff in my 62 series years ago

well done mate. looks like a good effort on both counts.
I wouldn't reat into the other comments too much...somepeople have a cranio sphinctal confusion.
Have you any future plans for the new vehicle?
why did yo sell the last vehicle?

The only reason i ended up selling the jeep was i lost the enjoyment in driving it due to worrying about breaking something.

There was never a time where i had problems driving what i wanted to drive.
Ive seen lots of pics of Appin where people have to get snatched most of the way through or end up busted. Appin for my was quite an easy drive, (and i did it on only 33s).

I am having more fun now since ive only spent a small amount on the patrol compared to the jeep and the enjoyment is back again.

Well thanks for your coments. Seeing that you only registered today and this is your very first post, i will assume your rogues boyfriend defending him cause he seems to be getting his ass kicked on here by people with a real understanding of four wheel drives.
While i am able to take constructive critisism about mods , like i said to rogue dont knock the jeeps until you can afford to have one.

Hopefully the two of you will go and cuddle up and fuk off from my thread.

This is a thread about my rigs, not a thread for gheys to bash jeeps.

start a new thread mate.This ones been farked by some wankers shit comments. Back to what the thread is supposed to be about, I believe the turbo and n/a patrols use different gears.Did you look into changing the gears from a non turbo one into yours?I think they are 4.6 gears.I may have been told a lie though.If they are they would help with the 35s

The Mk already had 4.6s in it and theres no worries turning the 35s.

My apologies for not dealing with this earlier. I removed posts by certain members here and will continue to do so if it goes off topic any more. Mate, feel free to make a new thread if you want, as I said I'm sorry for not getting in here earlier.
