Who ya insured with ? Cause most places don't cover off-roading as they class it as rallying/trials

Jooster bought this SJ410 [him in the pictures] for £100 and we were out green laning yesterday There's a day on November 6th at Pingewood near Reading, £25 for the car [so as many drivers as you want] ALL day driving through mud and shit can't wait

Donuts like a good un


That's my missus in the back can't beat a bit of green laning for beautiful scenery

I'd LOVE to go to guernsey again went a couple times when I was younger and stayed near that little chapel covered in broken bits of plates and stuff??

Beaches there are stunning

Ask your mate if he's got any bits left from the SJ's would be a good excuse to come and meet ya

Adam, I'm pretty sure thats the one mate near Reading will see you there

I'm on a traders policy mate seperate to this old bit of crap , but it's Joosters toy, he reckons he can get limited miles [5000? dunno ] from Tesco insurance for about £150 for the year? won't cover off road but for the price of the car is doesn't really matter if he rolls it over and leaves it there

As long as you're insured on road normally, I wouldn't bother about any "off road" bits as its only yourself and the local wild life you're likely to damage

When you go green laning, take a bin bag with ya pick up all the litter you find and it keeps the farmers and ramblers off your back

WOODLANDS 4X4 OFF ROAD CENTRE IS APPROX 5 MILES SOUTH OF BRANDS HATCH IN KENT...... no where near Reading

Me and my mates used to have a SJ410 soft top.... just used it on my mates private land.... was sooooo much fun.

We can't wait to start modding our new one.... Snorkle first and then a suspension lift

Cause we've bought it between 4 of us, we dunno whether to fit 2 rear seats or just leave it as a 2 seater and take turns
