Hi, I’m looking for a gift for my friend, he’s totally offroad crazy .. drives a Defender and soon has his birthday. I wanted to give him a special gift and give him an offroad training …. do you know perhaps someone who offers something like that, so for 2 days, where you could possibly also stay on the site?

Hello together! My father and I are planning to buy a DKW Munga for the summer as an offroader for the small wallet. Can anyone tell me if there are still things to buy from Bundeswehr or NATO stocks? If so, where? Thanks already…

Hello together I can’t have an offroader but for my problem I’m better off here. I drive a Golf 6 Variant from 11/2010. Sometimes I have to pull my trailer out of the dirt and without four wheel my car buddling in. First I wanted to buy such a rope winch for 100€ but luckily I read here before and get out that the winds can’t even pull a garbage can. Since I don’t want to build the winch comes for me only one for me r the trailer coupling in question. I ordered this here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0cPsDRQWCI Now I do not always want to put the cable forward to the battery and wanted to ask here how strong (square) the cables must be designed to bring the 160A from the battery to the winch and if possible near the trailer coupling a separable connection so that I can connect the winch right back electrically. Since I do not have the winch yet I do not know how s What are the connectors for the power cables? The car has a 72Ah battery and a 140A Lima Would I be pleased to receive an answer. Greeting SVEAGLE

Hello have to get me a new car and it should be an SUV. My absolute dream car is the Hyundai IX 35 also drove him to the test and I am enthusiastic but am a reason person and do not know if it fits into my budget. Drive currently a VW Golf 4 and would get for the 3,000 € from the car dealership and still place 2,000 of me on it. So would pay 5,000 € and the car costs 21.200 € and would have to finance 16.200 €. I have set a maximum of 200 € and I don’t know if I won’t take over with the car. I’ve also looked for used cars which are available for e.g. 17,000-18.000 only I don’t know what is better then. I have been offered the car instead of for 24.600 then as a day leave for 21.200€ with a good equipment (Stxle model with plus package) What do you think? Is the car available for 5 years still a residual payment of almost 7,000€ at an interest rate of 4.99%. It should be an SUV. How about the other costs like fuel and insurance? Have already informed me, but the values differ from each other already from 7l-12l. And do you know otherwise good alternative ones? Have also mla interested me for the Duster but somehow I can not be so friendly with it.. I would be happy about your opinion and help LG Thomas

I’ve been thinking about this for a long time, but I don’t know how realistic it is. I live in the USA and the import of vehicles that don’t correspond to US specs is almost impossible or financially uninteresting. Except if the cars are over 25 years old. And if I look at what people in the USA are willing to pay for G-models, landrovers or other older GWs (especially rare diesel models), then I’ve already thought about whether the worthwhile solc well after 25 years of being on the road and German winter, they probably all look kind of ugly and some things have to be done. Are there certain models that can still be bought at that age? How are resale values for large-volume diesel models in relation to the pollutant classes in Germany or in relation to the H-marks after 30 years? In short, you can get cheaply old diesel GW in Germany or are they all already in Africa or in the Orient? 😉 Greater thought of vehicles sold in the USA as gasoline engines like Mercedes G, various Toyota and Nissan models, T3 Synchro, ….

Hello We are looking for a used SUV as a new “family car”. Requirements profile: – Cars are used every day for about 50 km (land road, partly a lot of gradient) – in winter very snowy, therefore 4WD would be good) – Qualitatively the car should be very good – Driving fun should be available – so enough PS (where it is clear that SUV is not the same race car) – A pram should fit in – Fuel consumption should be appropriate – If it is possible automatic would be good. So, all this should be have/can have the car and do not have more than 50000 km on it, do not be older than 3-4 years and cost as much as possible under 20000 euros. What would your suggestions be? Would the Mazda CX-7 be what? Or rather the Honda CR-V?

Hello together: I am a bloody beginner with many ideas in my head, unfortunately a lot will not be possible, I know that! but to my ‘project’: I have to buy a Jeep Wrangler of a medium old year of construction (ca. from 1998) and to completely disassemble this car with galvanized car and galvanized frame with 295′ he tires and sidepipes (at the B-pillar high) and threshold protection rougher, as well as solid front and rear bumpers rebuild! now my question: because the consumption of approx. 15-18 ltr at 4.0 seems a little high my question about the options: Conversions on gas? With nem 2.5 ‘er likes? or even what is my favorite at the moment: convert to a solid MB or BMW rows 6-cylinder diesel engine with approx. 2.5-3 ltr.? What do you see as useful, what is feasible, what is not? and how do you see my chances? I am grateful for any feedback! Exhaust could look like on this Suzi:

Tach I am looking for inexpensive used off-road vehicles as second car which should drive about 10-15000 km a year. Should trailer up to 2 to (2.5 to would not be bad but not have to) be able to pull, also sometimes over 300km. At the same time also for wood fetching in the forest can be reliably moved away from paved paths with almost 2to trailer (say sometimes forest paths easily muddled..) Thought on what used, bitl screw I can, but a construction site should not be, spare parts well available My presentation:Nissan Terrano from Bj ca 1997/1998, Opel Frontera 2.2 from BJ 98, Galloper or Lada Niva (perhaps exotic consideration..) new…as a grey import…. So two, three weekends I would also put in work, if the vehicle afterwards does not constantly annoy for rust prevention (Niva) or smaller reperatures…. Price presentation so up to 7000 Euro… What to recommend ? Thank you! greet guni

HI Offroader! Since I have now bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2.7 CRD “Laredo” and still have to wait a bit until I can pick it up, I would like to hear your experiences about this model, engine. The car now has 96,000 on the hump but looks like new. The car was not moved in hard terrain. I drove it almost 2 hours sample ( road) and was immediately fire and flame. At the moment I drive an Audi A3 1.6 he Bj 2002. 43,000 Km Quallitativ an entirely different but I like the jeep better! Well that such a car in contrast to my Audi A3 is a bit more uneconomical, is already clear to me but how is so the durability with reasonable care? I always think a little bit about childhood diseases and expensive reperatures that reveal themselves after 100,000 km and more. Another suspension ( Bilstein ) was installed at 30.000 km because the previous owner liked it a little tighter. I take the original suspension as a replacement. agen has also according to the sellers a control chain which should be maintenance-free. Is that true? Does not such a chain have to be renewed also from a certain Km. ?? Thank me in advance about every experience and communication.

Hello! I play with the idea of buying a RRS TDV8. First I thought about taking the TDV6, but I have some respect for the 2.6 tons of curb weight. I can’t imagine that the 190 hp can handle this. But the extra charge is already happy. I think 9000,- EUR. For me only the HSE equipment would come into question. I’ve read a lot about the car. Is that true that the TDV8 consumes more than 15 liters on average? According to the list, the throughput is hnitts consumption at 11,1 liters, 15 liters would be over 30% more. What more should you add to the equipment? So what is still important? I definitely want metallic varnish and tinted discs back. How much discount can I expect? I most likely have a test drive next/next week. But I don’t want to go ignorant. Thank you
