We have just put a deposit down for an 'M' reg SSR-X 3.0TD, can't wait to get it and have read some of your views. Can anyone tell me what a 3rd generation is, cos i've never heard of it before until I joined this site and is mine one???????

Hi, and welcome to the mad world of surfing.
The 3rd gen is just an updated version of the 2nd gen. It has a different shaped body, centre diff, rear tailgate lifts up rather than drops down, and probably more. I'm sure some one else will fill you in on the bits I've missed.

Thanks Jon, think mine must be second gen (tailgate drops), at least now I know a little bit more. Still got loads to learn though, sure this site will be able to answer more of my uncertainties.

If you need to know any thing do a search you should find the answer to most things on here. If you can't find what you are looking for just ask and no doubt some one will be able to help.

Hey Shaz8 welcome to the mad world of Surfdom. Anyway, have you bought it from a dealer with a website? Maybe we can have a look at it if they show pics or did you take any photos for yourself? What ever you need to know, this is the site to be. Have fun, you wont stop grinning when you get it.

M Reg is registered as 1995 [same as my beasty] and therefore will more than likely be 2nd Generation.
