Offroad-Express

Just curious as it's pretty quiet...

About 1/2 a dozen regulars that i've come across

Yep, I'm here - lurking during the ad breaks on TV tonight.

I have a TJ and seriously looking at getting a WJ for my wife (if I can find a decent one).

Why do jeep drivers think they are special????

Haven't you got one of those suzuki Jeeps?

Worse, its far far worse than that

We don't think, we know we are.

Doesnt WJ stand for Womens Jeep

Sweet, I got onto this forum after googling Jeeps NZ and saw the Canterbury Jeep lub site with some awesome photo's of NZ....

I have some Brisbane photo's here - not as much mud but still fun.....big Jeep community in Brisbane with 4 Jeep clubs between Surfers Paradise and Noosa. http://gallery.mac.com/alexayres#100009

Also, saw some photo's in Jeep Action Australia of NZ wheeling a few months back - looked sweet..

Naaa, WJ = Wife's Jeep.

i have a cj8, that is almost going. i took it for its first drive in 2.5 years on sat, just a few small things to iron out then ill take it for a wof

i got a 95 xj... ....its in the shop at mo getting some goodies put on her

Any photo's of the CJ? Did the NZ military use Jeeps or Landrovers?

sweet, running a body lift and 33's? Would be great project - who needs a Brute!

spring over axle
2" body lift
36" tyres
AMC 304
Dana 44 diffs
front disc brakes
Certified for mods

Jealous as Hell.

smurf Now that is what a jeep should look like, SWEET.

thanks, i was so happy when i got to take it for a drive on sat.
haha, i took it to my girlfriends house, she couldnt even get into it, i have to lift her in. She told me the next day that i just won unlimited brownie points with her dad

Yeah, looks good - a light bar and some spotties would be sweet......how's the gearing? I am guessing fuel milage is a dirty word (two dirty words)....

Great to see more Jeepers coming out in the open. Nice looking CJ.

i have never had it on the road (or offroad ) so i am not too sure about gearing etc
i think the factory gearing is fairly low, the gear box is 4 speed but its Low - 1 - 2 - 3, so i would imagine that selecting low gear in the gear box, and low selected on the transfer case would result in very low gearing.

yeah ... i am not looking forward to the petrol bill.

It shouldn't be too bad, but then "bad" is a relative word. I would love to have a toy like that.

Never heard of it, Mahindra never really came out of the 1950s design concept.

Mahindra made a Jeep using Peugeot motor's (and International's I think) in India - based on a CJ3

NZARMY did use Landrovers but have now upgraded to the Pinzgauer.

This being the soft skinned varient


This being the Armored

Looking good, the Jeep numbers are growing, so it's not just the Nissan's and Toyota's who will be calling the shots here .

How many Jeeps will be at Rallywoods tomorrow, I for 1 will be there.

Here is a shot from August last year when I was there
