Try and get a 2.8 TD ES 7 seater type about 'E' reg with no rust. They seem to be the better ones for playing in.
They have a longer wheelbase for a more comfy ride. The short ones have a rough ride on the road.
They are meant to have better offroad manners than the later Fieldman type ones.
Chop the front bumper and the towhitch to have better angles front and rear.

Paid £500 for my old leafer, Comfortable it aint but as far as trialling goes, the drivers ability runs out before the cars :oops: :oops: I dont seem to have any more probs than similar landies and Suzukis on the odd playdays that I do. Cheap fun really. Going to change to a Landie simply because I want to upgrade to challenge spec. and the bits will be all available.

I have owned several fourtraks they are good offroad cheap for parts and reliable but it is true to say that they do get a good bit of body rot if they have not been looked after, check front body mountings,rear inner/outer arches where the plastic arches are,and the floor in the rear where rear seat passangers feet go. Also check before you hand over any cash that the 4wd works id go for one with all 4wd settings on the gear stick as some models are fitted with a button on the dash for 4wd high and uses solinoids and vacum pipes to pull it into 4wd and they are prone to fail and they are a pain to sort out. Any more help just drop us a message cheers justin
