Journey of Ownership 6C: Peace Out (JOC6C) [JUDGING IN PROGRESS]

Lada Niva has 4wd with a lockable center diff, and came out around there IIRC.

Maybe it could be included under locked diff type with that price increase?
That way itd be easier to differentiate and prevent mistakes

What do yall refrer to?

Sorry, i meant the choice between part and full time 4wd
Or is it awd?
Either

Naw, manually locking diffs are a separate matter. As in reality, any combination is possible: part-time 4wd wth open diff, with locking diff(s), with limited-slip diffs, with limited-slip and locking diffs… full-time with same… in fact this still doesn’t represent the totality of real-world options, where front and rear lockers are separate matters, and there exist extra-wide-ratio transmissions that don’t incur reliability penalties for total ratio spread.

I added a couple of inspirations and notes on same, as well as the expanded driveline rules. Last call for comments before opening…

1975 Bordeaux CS5 Familale 4x4



Turned into a 4x4 by a special outfitter, the CS5 Familiale 4x4 is a proper offroader with enough space for the whole family, and cargo space to spare. Powered by a Bordeaux Diesel 2.3 litre engine, making 84 horsepower and over 200 Nm of torque, it can get itself out of sticky situations and do so reliably and dependably, not to mention, economically. The suspension on both ends gets replaced by coil-sprung solid axles with locking differentials, and the drivetrain gets a new 5-speed transmission and 2-speed transfer case for off-road performance.

75' DGM Haida


Made in Canada for Canadian conditions, the Haida’s galvanised chassis removes the usual worries of driving on salty winter roads, and for whenever you need to go an unpaved road its 4 wheel drive and lockable differentials should make easy work of any track. With a front monocoque chassis, 3 point seatbelts and rollover hoops in the rear it’s safe in the event of a crash and with independent front suspension it’s easier to avoid such an accident in.

With a combined radio and 8-track player as standard and wood trim and leather seats in the higher trim levels the Haida’s well appointed interior and 5th gear that keeps the engine under stressed and low revving at highway speeds makes it comfortable for long journeys across the country. Also comes with a removable bench seat with 2 lap belts in the rear, perfect for large families or taking a few friends along when you aren’t moving too much.

Price:

14,500 AMU

Fuel Economy:

25.5mpg (imp)

Take one for a test drive today

The military bred ARVA Ovcharka. Where the road ends, the friendship starts.


In a world where four wheel drive vehicles are slowly turning onto toys for the rich, ain’t it good to know that you can still buy a workhorse that has proven its strengths time after time during the years? After 14 years of constant refinements, the ARVA Ovcharka stands stronger than ever.


But there is more to it. Because now you can get the Ovcharka with an interior that isn’t missing anything you’ll get in a passenger car. Radio. Even power steering. And with those options now available in a REAL four wheel drive vehicle, will there really be any reason to get one of those fancy, but silly, toys?

1975 Bolland LU150 Wagon



Though its body stampings date back to the early 1960s, the Bolland L series received continual technical updates under the skin through its long production life, as well as some minor styling changes.

I am doing design work on a car for Bdub, i don’t know if they need a final look over the engineering before submissions close so a tiny bit of leeway there might be helpful. I will put up pictures here very shortly though.

Seems the deadline snuck up on a few people. I’m extending it by another four days, til 10/24.

1975 Flint Ozark 4x4 Limited






Is it the outdoorsman’s off-road vehicle? Or a practical, comfortable family car? Yes! With the 1975 Flint Ozark in 4x4 Limited trim, there’s no need to choose between a vehicle perfect for weekend getaways and a daily driver–you can get both in one vehicle.

The Ozark is built from the ground up with off-roading in mind. Dual solid axles with coil springs, plenty of ground clearance, selectable 4-wheel drive, locking differentials, and beefy all-terrain tires make the Ozark capable of handling rough terrain. There’s plenty of power and torque–131 hp and 195 lb-ft–to tow and haul with the tow hitch that comes standard. Add on a chassis constructed of corrosion-resistant steel and Flint’s commitment to building some of the most durable automobiles you’ll find on the road, and the Ozark gives you all the capability you need to get away in nature.

And instead of having to switch cars when you get back from the campground, ease into your daily commute with Limited’s plush leather seats and premium 4-speaker AM/FM/8-track sound system. The wide front buckets have an easy release mechanism to access a rear bench–perfect for bringing friends on your fishing trip or taking the family to the movies. Thanks to Limited’s 3-speed automatic transmission, your daily drive will be a breeze.

So visit your nearest Flint dealer today to test drive an Ozark, and find out if you’re ready to get the one vehicle that does it all!

Flint Motors. Quality First.
