XJ V 90
« on: December 20, 2007, 21:13:51 »
Ive stirred up a bit of a hornets nest on the mitsi forum so ill get you lot going aswell ive a 90 at the mo and i think im gonna get rid in the new year and get something more comfier cos ive a very dodgy back and the 90 is doin me no favours as far as comfort is concerned but offroad it excels SO what is a XJ like offoad as far as ground clearance,ability,power and the usual ive been looking at the 4.0 maybe with a 3" lift and mud tyres would it keep up with a 90 with mud tyres on it?they seem very cheap for what you get but are they any good offroad---I do laning/quarries and pay and play days :D

A tricked up XJ will do Langdale extreme, as you were asking in the Mit section.

I did the maze in mine with 225 AT's on - just.  Got muds on and sailed around, mine is the 2.5TD with a lot less power than the 4.0.

Though with the 225 AT's a landy had to pull me out of a very big puddle :oops: :oops:  

Two weeks later I'd got 31" Insa Turbo Saharas and sailed through the same section 8)

Cannot really say which is best - depends how much you modify - can say that the XJ is cheap and comfy 8)

Yes - around the 70/80 mark.

Where you cut back and forwards - one section with huge rocks at the end where you come back out onto the track.  

Did need the transfer skid plate getting over them :lol:

XJ's are very underrated..even stock with some underbody armour AND 235 X 75 15'S mt'S its suprising where they can go...

Dont know waht your 90 is like / valued at but there was a guy called Snake110 on LRBoards.com who was looking to swop a very nice 4.0 litre HO jeep fpr a green oval badgerd motor.... think he very occasionally comes on here and ORRP as well.

Cheers Steve
