3 Jonga's

It was dream to own Jonga and finally Me, Swastikviji and Star_Aqua owns it. All credit goes to Swastikviji who has put all efforts without him it was not possible. Now its time to restore it and requires lot of help from Bhpians.

Further details will be updated by Star_Aqua who is planning for expedition in Jonga.

Hmmmmmm. Jonga's were a favourite of mine some time back. I'm gonna watch this thread closely.

These look like Army autioned vehicles. Please elaborate how you guys aquired it. Since I think the Army has long stopped using it.

Congrats. I just love the looks of the Jonga and its presence. So you guys jointly own this Jonga or you have a Jonga individually. Sorry but your thread title says Three Jongas, so i couldn't understand.

Wow three lucky guys. Please give us more pics on how they appear from the inside. Would love to see the transformation. Are they diesels or the petrol versions?

Please keep us posted. This is going to be a very informative thread i can see.

Really looking forward to the Jonga rebuilds.

OT: The latest Nissan Patrol (the Jonga's name abroad) just lost it's soul. It moved from a body on chassis to a monocoque design. The softroader bug kills another legendary 4X4.

Actually, two of the owners relocated abroad to earn the dough to rebuild and run the Jongas.

Hey Shakir,
They look super good. So, this is what Vijay was discussing in Coorg.
Where are they parked? I'll go searching for it in front of Vijay's house tonight
