I got a wrangler cheap a year or so ago, only had a mild lift but it cruised off-road. Fucking atrocious on road though, and fuel economy is terrible. At least they don't have many electronic bits for Jeep to fuck up though.
Off Road General
Hey y'all
My neighbour is selling his '05 LJ.
I'd never heard of Jeep having and LJ but it seems to be just a slightly longer TJ.
Are they any good/bad?
2005 LJ with 180,000kms for $11k. Not much in terms of mods etc.
Good price?

Youll wish it stayed that way
Just take it slow and take it easy. Slowly find out what your vehicle's capable of, which I know from experience, an awful lot with a Delica.
I wish those were available where I am. Used to own a JDM import Isuzu MU. Solid little truck.
If you need a large interior and enclosed cargo space for a fridge and draws and stuff, go the Landcruiser.
If you don't need the space and fuel economy is more important, he the mid size 4 Runner or Taco.
is there a point in purchasing an alloy bullbar? Do I need a suspension upgrade after installing a bullbar?
Certainly. An alloy bar still provides substantially more protection than factory bumpers, and doesn't transfer anywhere near as much force back on to the chassis in the event of a strike.
I you're just talking a bar, your standard springs will be fine. If you're fitting a winch, auxiliary battery etc, see how it sits after fitting, then figure out whether a heavier spring rate is required or not.
