    K and M are RIGHT beside each other on the keyboard. Still, 3.7L V6 Sounds Cool, even if its not very fast!

    It's nice and clean, which is a refreshing change.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,388 ✭✭✭gbee


    This is a lovely model and a good price, but one would need their own mint to service and run it.

    It's certainly one of the better ones for all that.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 729 ✭✭✭Robertr


    I've had most of them at this stage too. 2.5 Wrangler, 3.7 Cherokee, 4.7 Grand Cherokee but the SRT is still on the list......for now

    Yeah SRT8 is a serious machine, theres a G meter on the dash, you can also time a quarter mile and your 0 to 60. We did it in 5.1s there one day.

    Love to see the Jeep take a corner :D

    Just had a quick google, and apperently it can hold 0.92g on a skid pan. Mind, with open front & rear diffs and only 7" front ground clearance it's not really a functional Jeep any more either..

    No, not noted for their off road prowess, despite their name. See them in the US having been completely rebuilt ~ not unlike the Range Rover rebuilds here.

    Peak at 0.92 more like. I'd be surprised! If it is in fact a V6, dont bother. Sucky sucky engine. The inline 6 is the way to go :)

    I was talking about the SRT, which is heavily modified - the one in the ad is a V6. Personally, neither does much for me.:)

    You guys here all suck lol (kidding)

    Just check out the Arabs jeeps and then come back here with your childish "fast" jeeps :D

    I let you to find out more about them, but dont post up here anything less than 1000 bhp :)

    Or stay in topic and stick with the 210 bhp/mph version here:)

    Funny you say that cause im out here at the moment, sure its the only place in the world where normal people can afford to run a motor like that. We went to the garage the other day to fill the jeep and it cost the buddy the equivalent of 8 euro to fill the thing from almost empty!!!!

    The brother uses one in the UAE for dune-bashing. The only thing he fitted was M+S tyres and a gearbox oil cooler (or an uprated one, I can't remember).

    Having sat alongside him, that jeep gets into (and out) of some rather quare places and angles. He regularly embarrasses Amazons and Patrols with their special sand tyres.....

    Having said that, low ground clearance can mean digging the top of a crest so stop it beaching, and that sand can be removed by a smack of the lower crossmember.....

    did anyone see the add on piston heads a few months ago for a supra powered l200 putting out 500 brake, how did they keep it straight when in 2wd.

    Same way people keep a 2WD Supra straight I'm guessing!

    its hard enough to keep a 110 bhp 2.5 diesel l200 straight in the wet never mind a 500bhp supra powered one.

    i think this is the same one

    One of the UK's fastest Defenders is for sale on Pistonheads at the moment for £30k, 230bhp out of a standard block. The 1/4 mile time for the fastest is 16.7secs and 107mph, not bad for a 2 ton 2495cc diesel brick. The leading UK tuners had a head to head at Bruntingthorpe in 2009, hopefully to be repeated in 2011.

    The ultimate racing Land Rover is the Bowler Nemisis and they do a road going version, time I tried the lottery again :D
