    Help me choose a Rangie

    Ok I have three rangies two I own one is for sale by my brother in law. I'm looking at options on which one to buy.

    First one is. 91 auto 3.9 very neat and tidy but stock as 250000 ks

    Second is my baby. 87 with the works front tube bar lift coils and body upgrade arms for rear and all steering 33s locked 24 spline 3.9 serp and a r380 manual. Bad interior getting tired rust in some doors and leaks. Only runs on lpg. However I think gearing is upgraded 400000ks but not standard engine and unsure when it was changed

    Third is a 93 vogue lifted body and 3" coils 35s locked rear upgraded arms and steering. very nice car however abs is playing up could be a sensor and stalling issue when stopping in drive 250000 ks

    So which would you choose. It will be my daily promo truck for my business and for short trips 4x4 when I can moderate to hard. What would you go for.

    Thanks

    Keep the '87 as a ****ter you bash up off road ..... stick it on a club permit .... Merge the other two into the best thing you can build, I'd keep it stock as a rock .... you see every offroad "improvement" will make it less capable onroad where it'll spend 99.9% of its time. You will probably find there bad stuffed in all the same places though ( ) ... ie all the same interior bits will be trashed. I'd pick the one with the best most rust free body as the base.

    I'm great at making suggestions... If only I could find the time to do some of them myself. I have about 5 cars in various states of decay that I drive around as much as possible with the intention of "fixing oneday when I have time ... and $$$". At least I have the fun on tinkering with them and driving them until that day comes

    Yeah after today the 93 was playing up bad with the abs locking up and engine stalling so not happy with it. My white one is nice outside just interior is getting old. Probably some slight engine work and it will be great. The red one is nice but stock so not a stand out car compared to the white one.

    The body of the 91 or 93 with the goods of the 87, you could remove abs and run hydroboost brakes
