Chennai Team-BHP Meets

Man, That winch must alone weigh a ton!
Fit that on a jeep and the jeep will do a stoppie.

Did you realise that it has a 4.0 litre petrol engine with a THREE speed Gearbox and a single speed transfer case?

The engine puts out around 110 BHP of pure petrol power

thanx, headers, this post of yours almost answers my question

there are not many petrol 110 BHP off-roaders with three-speed bearbox, but the single-speed tcase really nails it down

.

Way to go , Arka

Now, BT, We are looking for sponsers to keep the bride running? Any takers?

Minimum contribution - 10 litres of petrol!

nitrous · 30th May 2008, 15:09

Hold on!
BT , are u thinking this is a Jonga we're talking about?

Blue Thunder · 30th May 2008, 15:10

headers, I know .....it can be quite expensive to run/maintain...mileage would be around 5 kmpl, I guess (and there is talk of a price hike around the corner) :-(

no, nitrous, intially I thought so...but the single-speed tcase is a dead giveaway (the JONGA has a 2-speed tcase)....it is a vehicle known in defence parlance just plainly as "1-ton".... it shares the engine with the Jonga ( which is an excellent off-roader), but it has something which the JONGA doesn't...the "sun-roof"

!!!

BT, we are not talking of OUR gypsies here. We are talking about a monster which matches the Formula 1 specs in FE. Hope you get it

Ok, ok

...I get it...I was trying to sound a bit optimistic !!!

nitrous · 30th May 2008, 15:20

5kmpl? Nah!
It is 1kmpl! Arka seems to have inherited an oil well in Thupai!

"an oil well" or "some oil wells"

supremeBaleno · 30th May 2008, 15:41

What is the relevance of the ton in "1-ton"? Because this must be weighing much more than 1000kgs in any case.

And BTW, could all you romping-on-the-beach-climbing-quarries-falling-into-ponds offroaders quit driving(beating) around the bush and come out with the name of whatever this contraption is ?

esteem_lover · 30th May 2008, 15:46

Thats the payload, biju.
You guys are seriously off topic here. When is the next meet gonna be ? inside the contraption ? Would love to see it today.

esteem_lover, I think this thread has now lived out its life (April - May)...we need a separate thread for the June/July meets...why dont you do the honours

supremeBaleno · 30th May 2008, 16:11

That sounds interesting - a meet in a true offroader.

With such blue-blooded trucks around, who would want to get sozzled in a puny, inferior, unreliable softroader like the Tata Supari ?
