oof
make it AWD
yeah that's the thing keeping focus from being a 10/10 pseudo-rallyboyDD
hardly justifiable though
for the same or less price you'd pay for fabrications and install to make an AWD focus you could buy a rally ready fiesta http://m-sportedition.co.uk/
AWD 240z instead
@Leaf me alone that sound tho
my Suzuki Samurai buddy bought a Miata
I was looking at one next to me in traffic yesterday, they are so small
Yeah they're tiny
Alright you faggots I am willing to exchange gun info and gun advice for auto info and auto advice.
I want to know good options for utilitarian 4x4s that aren't trucks
By not trucks, do you mean unibody as opposed to body-on frame?
Other good questions would be how large you would like it to be, do you prefer NA/Japanese/European, how fast/fuel efficient you require, and what the initial and ultimate purpose are?
also budget
Ideally about tye size of a Jeep CJ, no preference on place, don't care about it being fast nor efficient, purpose is to have a trusty vehicle I can rely upon for heavy use as an utilitarian vehicle so driving on dirt, stones, small rivers that don't reach door level so I can pack up and go innawoods for shooting and hunting.
Budget would be 3000, 5000, 10000 USD, I want the best options for each price.
v8 4.0L with 182hp and 233 torque. 14mpg average. under $5k
^Land Rovers have been favorites for overland expeditions for a while
price of replacement parts might be an issue in the US
yeah they have their issues too
electrical issues as I recall
yeah that's right. i couldn't remember what it was but yeah. that's the thing people mention
but in that case you just get the most basic version you can, in the best overall condition
for real. if the price range you're looking for @NotATF is really btween 3 and 10k you can get a """perfect""" condition one of these
also worth looking into a toyota landcruiser, any year I believe
the later ones are heavy and bad on gas, but are built like tanks
just searched land rover for sale with lowest miles and found this
idk shit about toyotas
Here is a good site for people who take their trucks on long off and on road journeys:
