V-Drive????

Post by Thabogrobler »

I bet almost no-one has ever heard about a V-drive?

Have a look at post #50:

'02 KZ 'Lux. Cooled. Chipped. Onca'd. Cherished!

If you are a diesel fan, raise your hand.
If you aren't raising your hand, raise your standards!

A 4x4 is merely a machine that enables you to get stuck further away from civilization.

Awesome! Only downfalls are higher production costs, heavy un-sprung weight for an IFS - sorta defeats the object, and it will be the same as having a locked front axle. Probably the reason why it's never been widely implemented. ;-)
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!
