paj V 90
Tommo:
Depriciation is somthing i tend to worry about a little too much! i spent my lifes savings when i was 17 on a 110 CSW V8 for £1000. i put it through a test and sprayed an odd coloured door and sold it on ebay 7 months later for £1750. Bought my TDi 90 for £1500, spent at least £500 on it but i think im still well in the green if i sell it. but i wont do any mods that arent worth doing or can be removed and kept for my next landy.
With any luck an a year or two's time ill be able to sell what ive got, keep £1500 in the bank, spend a grand on another landy and start again!

well ive gota 90 and well happy with it , but my daughter has just persuaded me to get her a paj , so i collect a 2.5 j reg auto swb on fri . soooo cheap in comparison to a landie of same vintage and yep its got all the toys and none of the rot , all the comfort and quietness BUT :? no real character.
i had one of my own for a while and yeah it was faultless , but i wanted to tinker a bit so i got a big box of bolts and an alloy body to do that to ;)lol.
geordie where you get paj snorkel ?
cheers all

Ah....the old debate!
For me it's Jap Cr*p everytime. No one is doubting the 90's prowess off road.....but I like to be able to stand up straight after I've been driving! Jesus those things are uncomfortable!
The biggest problem is articulation! As already mentioned, the front torsion bars mean a front wheel lifts going over a mole hill!But a rear locker soon takes care of that! I'm not a Paj offroader, I tow with a LWB Paj & off road my L200.
Tyres.....can't vouch for the Paj.....but the L200 is easy to body lift! Mine's on a 2" (ish) suspension lift with a 3" bodylift & wears 35" tyres. Minor rubbing on full lock & max suspension compression, other than that....lovely!!
The biggest problem with the Paj v 90 discussion. Both vehicles are capable, some more so than others......depending on personal modifications. But what doesn't seem to change is the way the majority (Not All!!! :clap: :clap: ) of Green Oval owners sneer with disdain!
So.....comfortable? Paj wins
Reliability.......Paj Wins!!!
Extreme off road.....7 outta 10 times Land Rovers will win. But then along comes various modded mitsi's & the apple cart is turneth over!!! :twisted:

i saw that l220 at drumclog! well smart mate, mine has changed abit since the last drumclog but wait for drumclog 9 and you will see it
to me paj,s are good offroad i like them when done up right look well smart, and with difflockers capeable
i love defender 90,s there good looking, capeable, good trucks
i cant belive the banter between paj n 90,s both good trucks as you said, but if i had a choice...
suzuki sj wins every time! :dance:
