70 miles in the sj on a camping trip tomoz!

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

It is the way YOU drive!

There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Don't worry about the wheels, they won't come off ;)
... and the bearings are still OK!!!

When in doubt......... POWER! ;)

Update... Well the old sj did me proud, got us back home with no problems, did about 200 miles over 3 days and only about half a tank of juice. All the fluids are good levels so going to treat her to an oil and filter change soon, especially as I've solved the oil leak from the fuel pump.
