    Vitara fatboy

    Looking in to buying one of these,but i've never had a jeep before.

    anyone had one?

    where's the problem area with them?

    what should i look for when viewing?

    how much should i be paying for an 'm' plate soft top with t&t in pretty good condition?

    cheers

    Your mate Ross has got one, surely he'd be the best person to ask?

    get the Size of the tyre up for the wideboy, I'm sure you can get budgets but there big so will cost nearer a hundred for good tyres.

    enough to p*** you off ! one of the reasons why we ditched it...the other was because the cat ended up with a tonne of mud inside it and after replacing it never was the same

    Me personally would not bother with one for the 1st reason
