Good Points
picked it up for 3k, much more reliable than my last 2 cars... lol

Bad Points
loves fuel... lol 400-500k's per tank

What mods have you done?

What mods are on the list to do?
bigger tires, replace suspension, roof console, rear storage unit, bigger + more spotties.... the usual... lol

Why did you buy this vehicle?
because my old car was a piece of crap... lol

How often do you go offroad?
been once so far but plans for many more

Welcome to 4x4 Earth. My brother had a Jackaroo and was a good 4by.

HI there,
I have a 2000 Jackaroo and I love it. Shes thirsty though 15 lt/ 100km

Completely stock apart from BFG AT tyres and I can tell you that on more than a few occasions I have been able to continue where a Modified Partol couldnt -it could have been the line, could have been the driver, but its also lighter and a little narrower to which definately help on one occasion.
Good to see you getting up on the stump there.
