jackaroo

Damn, you beat me to it! I was going to say trade it in for 3.0L TD!!

Ah, it's good to be a smart arse!

And the debt that comes with it...stuff it. At least he owns it.

Ah, it's good to be sensible :)))Hooroo

How do the newer jacks go offroad? We were seriously looking at getting a newer one a turbo diesel would be what we were after. If we can't smarten up this one

I like the look of the jackaroo, but they stopped making them. Would be a nice second car.

They are a brilliant car pretty darn good on fuel to for a fwd. Currently on highway we get about 32mpg. But this has taken ages to get it that good after replacing everything and tuning it about a million times to get the best performance we actually got better fuel economy.
We use our jack as a main car and touch wood it hasn't let us down yet and we have put it through some times. We swapped it for our VW golf that we originally had and haven't looked back it was a bit of a change from the tiny little golf but I would never own a 2wd again. I think some people underestimate them the places that they can go but trust me we have had to pull that many people out in places we have gone with ease (including my brothers defender - maybe it was his poor driving habits)
Well yes I think they're great anyway

Hmmmm, lets try.

B##gger it, I can't figure out how to post pics. Just go to

Very interesting do you know how much it costs is there a kit to fit them yourself or did this guy make it from scratch. We did get a price for someone to fit a turbo he said it would increase power by about 40% but wanted to charge us $4500 we said a few words and walked out that is nearly as much as the car is worth what did he think we were
