i agree with Xof and the rest who suggested 2 carsJasonsne wrote:Guys,
currently have a 2003 liberty sport, with manual gerbox. I have had it for about 6 months now and had it on the sand a few times which it handles well. However I also have a commute from Abu Dhabi to Dubai everyday, which I can say it doesnt deal with so well.
I am thinking of chopping it in for an FJ, has anyone got any experience on the sand with this and how do you think it will handle the commute??
any way this is what i did
if your not planning for 2 get yourself a pathfinder
enough horspower to have fun on sand, verrrrrry confort and stable on highway
just lift it up a little, bigger tires and your ready
sorry toyota and jeep guys

Scorpio,
what you say is OK, but I would replace Pathfinder by Xterra, as
- it is cheaper,
- the bumpers are more suitable for off-road as they are not painted,
- the stock version is already a bit lifted using Bilstein shocks,
- there are more and easier after-market parts for modding available.
but this is only me thinking

Walla I didnt face such a thing even on extreme trips and night trips, maybe cause I got used to it that I dont feel it anymore.Nasser wrote:Nabs,Nabs wrote:am I the only one who doesnt have visibility issues with the FJ?
