Im looking to buy a 3.9 Efi Rangie, modify it and use it for Road and Offroad.

Pros and Cons for both and personal preference.

What sort of off road are you wanting to do? 2k budget, then do you have a budget for the toys? i.e suspension gaurds etc etc

just how far do you what to go?

This has been discussed in detail here.  Lots of opinions expressed but fairly conclusive I'd say.

Thanks for that, Thats a rather good thread to read :)

ideally will spend about 1 K on the rangie to purchase and then about 1.5K on off road bits

£1K should get you a pre-modded Rangie tbh, if you aren't too worried about condition!
