Looks cool, get some spacers on it and some big tires will set it of a treat!

:welcome: to scuk

That's a nice lwb you've got. I hope you are feeling rich, at your age a modded sj is going to cost a fortune to insure :shock:

It's a nice SJ you've got there...
my insurance is £150 for the year though :P

Just bear in mind that you will more than likely have to get the vehicle checked over if you convert to coils!
SVA test I believe

£500 is very cheap for a 17 year old.

My sj cost 1700 to insure when i was 17, and 1300 now that im 18. However i can get insured on the landrover 90 for £150 a year fully comp ???


NFU are No ******* use!

Buisness insurance. I think that means it's supposed to be a work vehicle. Kind of......Rather than a daily driver.

I always thought there were age limits on that sort of thing, but then I suppose if your living on a farm and your working there why shouldn't you be on the 'works' insurance?

Anyway welcome to the site
