Totally agree, the Fronty is a joy to drive on the road, and can be awsome off road

Nick

yup ....i have to agree with that too

[Rugged Rex]

I gave him a bloody good buffing today, not sure i like him clean though

a lot of people think the frontys are a bit of a joke and not capable but anyone thats seen them off road properly will tell you they are more fun and a lot better than a lot of so called "real" 4x4s

I've never met you but already I like you...

Ok i am in, cool vids shame the first two were one fronty dying and the other being towed, then all went well. Got me worried for a second.

So all i need now is some bottle and a day where SWMBO will let me out

Nick

if the first fronty was a red SWB then im a little embarrassed

that was at the end of the day and im not a forgiving driver so my swb performed lovley that weekend and has out done my expectations by 200%

hi Luke,

Even though yours broke at least it shows that it was easy to fix, and yours went everywhere. Your experiance of the day as much as anyone elses shows just how rugged a car the fronty is.

As for the mate with a terrano...AKA ford Maverick, I am sure this car has no low box and when one of the motoring tv programs tried to recreate the tv advert of the time, (Terrano Climbing a big bank of sand) The car failed dismally, So which is the real off roader now

I was looking at the Dalby forest 4x4 adventures and am thinking of taking a little mud bath with my 6 year old and our Fronty Rex.

Does a standard fronty with road tyres and no lift cope well here on all the courses (with obvious exception of the X-treme course) or should i go elsewhere for my first go.

Can i also confirm that a fronty is an proper 4x4 not a soft roader, and how are they seen within the 4x4 world, capable or very capable.

Yes i have seen your videos but i have also seen enhanced fronties so do i need to fiddle with Rex or is it ok to leave him standard.

Sorry for so many questions

Nick

My first venture off road was at Langdale quest with the wife riding shotgun, I did the Jungle Trek, and really enjoyed it, advice is on hand when you get to the more challenging bits, and when you get to the climbs/ descents if you are not too sure of going it alone, people will come and watch and guide you.

My fronty was completely standard trim, goodyear wrangler road tyres and no lift. Did catch tow bar electrics socket in a couple of places, but overall you should be ok. ( I think ive gone through 3 or 4 of those sockets since even with a lift kit fitted)

[Rugged Rex]

Thanks for that, i was thinking of doing the jungle trek with my kids.

Yer that tow bar makes the departure angle really pants. I am going to relocate the electrics and remove the towbar so i can off and on as i need

Kids cant wait , me too

dont know if youve seen the thread, but there might be something organized near kirton lindsay, or somewhere round that area i think, it might be a good place for you to try. plenty of people to recover you if you get stuck. Or like My Mate Adrian posted, if you fancy it, come across one weekend and join us in the quarry near us. It wont cost anything + you can go anywhere you want,and do what you want.
Check my links out elsewhere on the site. will have a look later when i get back from work, and pm you all the links.

Think i got video from Langdale somewhere.

Thanks Ian

I am going to join you soon, thanks for all your help
