Just here...
So, I had a 91 Isuzu Rodeo with 4.30s, granny first, 32" Mickeys, locked rear, etc... then was t boned and flipped over. Moved into a 90 XJ that was built up much the same and it was a pretty good beast until I started having issues with the auto trans (upshift when floored followed by an immediate downshift when let up on) and the cooling system (liked to boil over for no reason) so I sold that...long story short and 4 other cars in about as many years, Im looking to an Unlimited Rubicon. I want a hard top, I like the gearing and lockers and D44's. I was thinking about a cheap gas sipper with a cheap Discovery to build up on the side but am thinking that one vehicle that could do all I wanted would be better than splitting money, a lot more in the case of a Rover, between two so here I am now, looking at an LJ.
What I want to build: a camping/ woods capable mountain bike shuttle. I like the longer wheel base of the LJ for the extra room inside. So, there are a few for sale around me for not too bad of money and decent mileage. So, Im calling on the knowledge base here for advice. Is the LJ Rubicon a good expo platform? On the 4.0, at what mileage are you thinking is too high (keeping in mind this is going to be my dd and only car for a bit)? Any problems specific to this version? Looking to run 32"-33" so how should I invest? Last, but not least, SHOW ME SOME!!!
