    Sweet!

    Serteac hit the nail on the head, even the Armada technically being a "Japanese" car was made in the USA for the USA full size SUV segment, to go against the likes of the Tahoe and Frord Explorers and Expeditions. Japanese really dont bother with such stuff.

    Mitsubishi and Honda should just retire from making cars. Its painful to see the crap they are putting out. Oh wait, I take that back, Honda should be given temporary stay of execution aa they did just put out the new NSX, although I dont like it at all. Mitsubishi might as well just be making beige dress pants, will be less boring than their current car line up.

    Good luck with that. Go to 99% of mechanics or parts shops and ask for a bottle of belt dressing and they will look at you with a empty stare of a zombie that has been dead for a 1000yrs.

    Those times! This is little over 5 yrs old. What those times!

    Thats exactly what the link says too. Based on the Suzuki Jimny which was earlier called the ....you guessed it Samurai.

    A slight leak in the exhaust manifold gasket sounds exactly like a lifter tick. Ask me how I know.
  8. desertdude
    Could be a exhaust manifold leak too. Hard to tell

    Basically this is a Suzuki Samurai, which were available here and are still are in their latest upgrade as the Suzuki Jimny. This is turning out more to be a rebadge thread!

    Congrats, welcome back to the Range Rover family, now this is what I call a ride. Must be car Range Rover buying season, just finished a deal for a friend for a 07 supercharged. day before yesterday. P.S : Ignore Barry. The 500 plus hp 5.0 Supercharged Jaguar AJV8 is more than enough.

    These are or were at least quite common in the UAE, known as the Daihatsu Feroza, you do see them mostly in the Northern or East Coast Emirates Kinda legendary now and demand a pretty penny if one does come for sale.

    Similar-ish kinda story here. I find range rovers easy to work on, my L322 has shitty access to sone components on the engine but other than that is all good. But for the life of me I cant rebuild a distributor or figure out how to adjust or fix a carburetor! P.S : Not too sure about the black rear seats and the Ivory front ones. Look kinda odd

    Well does look very similar to the Merc AMG GT coupe.

    I think its pretty snazzy looking and RR going back to its roots with a 2 door Although 990 of them are going end up with Al Ain user cars in Aweer. P.S : Jeh are you member over at the LRO fb group? I just posted this there yesterday morning. Perhaps just a coincidence.

    So this is going to have bigger batteries or what?

    That is factually incorrect, the designer of the first land rover was inspired by the WWII willys jeep he had but wanted to make something better and of more practical use around the farm. He did not " borrow" any DNA from the willy

    Even being sarcastic. You are not totally wrong there. Not long ago if you wanted to see what would become standard in 4x4s a decade later you would look at the current Range Rover and the same can be said for the Mercedes S class for sedans. Both were decades ahead of their competition. It's only now manufacturers are almost head to head in innovation or not too far from the competition.

    Bikers! Meh, nobody cares about those crotch rocket people! P.S: Don't think there were many on these motorized bicycle riders in the 40s-50s in the rural muddy back country where would usually find these mud pluggers toiling away, so pretty unlikely it was ripped off from there.

    Totally and blatantly ripped off from the Land Rover wave, but then again what would one expect of sheepers https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OAdl3UzV2Zc

    Me and my buddy not too long ago were making fun of a Hyundai SUV for putting on a Maserati badge, while stuck in traffic, a few days later I learned it was an actual Maserati, A Levant! As for the original post. There is a M version of the X5 so he's not too far off. Better than a Toyota Echo AMG

    Masonlite sell all sort of funky material, we used to get our magnetic safari stickers from them. must have reflective stickers too
  23. desertdude
    You were right in your first guess, it's a Envoy/Trailblazer with Saab badges
  24. desertdude
    I've modded many a car with no issues for off road use, it's just XJ is super sensitive to any change in geometry.

    Avoid poly bushes for an offtoad car, unless you like your teeth chattering all the time.
