hi guys and gals,
I'm matt and im completely new to this 4x4 stuff. i found your group on facebook which looks great - some of you have amazing looking mud eating machines!
being of novice ranks i need some help. i went on an off road course and got the bug... the budget will prob stretch to £2k with mods but thats about it.
i dont really want a 30yr old landy, but i was thinkking of an oldish sj413 samurai or a suzuki jimny.... i want to do some green laning and maybe courses once the skills have been built up.
ive be scowling the internet and all posts say that the jimny is a competent off roader... but you guys are the experts.... is it?!
would a jimny with off road tread tyres (std size tyres) be sufficient for green lanes? ive walked a few and seem fine, but in winter thats prob a diff story.
i'd prefer a newer jimny over an sj, and not worried about scratches etc... purely weekend fun.
please help and advise!
Matt
