Is there a market for a PROPER off road vehicle ?

gofaster_s13 · 2010-01-12 16:26:10

Just wondering if a manufacturer were to build and market a Proper off roader( selectable diff locks, proper low range box, proper independant suspension etc) would it sell ?? Also any other ideas as to what spec/equipment a proper off roader should have ??

That sounds rough alright, the belt isn't exactly overworked. I can nearly read the writing on it at idle.
Do you know is the engine interference or did the camshaft snap from something else?

The belt snapped because the Rebar eventually wore through it and yes they are very much an interference design it was the piston hitting the valves that broke the camshaft.
