  • I reckon that off road in all situations autos just go better. Acceleration wise they seem quicker as well because you don't have to change gears manually. I don't buy manual cars anymore. I just wish i can afford an auto box for my truck. I'm sick of the 18 speed roadranger box.

  • Off road the auto seems loads safer as well! 18 gears..... no wonder you prefer autos! Any videos of your truck?

  • The greatest car!

  • no, not yet. I'm working on it and on a couple of others going off road with my mates.

  • They're not all bad the autos. Had a strop in a manual - appeared to have loads more grunt though, not sure of the actual stats on them. Manuals here fetch a heck of a dollar!

  • auto all the way. nothing could be better. driveline and all bushes are just about totally shagged though. I love it.

  • Maybe the 2.4 is better in that respect ;) Honestly, overtaking tractors was a mission! Got stuck behind three of the buggers one day and thought I'd be a dead man in no time :D Although, it was an auto - your's a manual or?

  • Seriously? I don't have any probs with mine. If I'm doing 100-110Kph I just hit it and it goes. I even manage to drag off 100 series cruiser with 1HD-FTE motors in them. I get a surprised look there.

  • I'm with you on the price side - they're bonkers asking for that sort of coin for a work hack.

    Reason I sold the J78 was because it didn't hack it on the open road, 95kph+, couldn't overtake. Went into a V8 Land Rover - problem solved. :D Still like the 70s though!

  • What gets me is the price. They had the molds for the body panels since 1988 I believe so there would be no cost in reusing them. Personally i would prefer it if the new ones came out in a 4 banger version.
