SUV/4x4 shopping

[Pac1373]

p38's were turds when they were new and they are turds now, nothing special about that deal.

Man up and buy a rover.

really? I never paid too much attention because frankly they were not what I was looking for at the time. I would honestly prefer a Disco anyway to pound the hell out of.

Thinking of selling the YJ and buying XJ or ZJ though. this thread has me thinking again.

My vote is for a cherokee. I had a 2000 Cherokee Classic for about 5 years, and the thing was bulletproof aside from little wiring issues with the windows and stereo.
Plus it's a fast little truck! Perfect for guys used to the nimble E30s.

I know we have been over this, but how do you keep finding these things, I have been looking for a long while now and never find anything even that needs a little TLC for less than 4-5k and still have to throw parts at it.

I just check CL all the time, there are also a lot more around my area. All the good deals will sell pretty quick. Some of the 4-5k ones you are finding might be worth trying to talk down the price. If you find one around my area I can go look at it for you.

I would be feeling VER special about myself with a deal like that middle one, all good deals though.

Bought an Xj a month ago. I frickin love this thing. Easy to work on and a lot of fun. Already have a lift kit on order, and wheels and tires too. Cant wait to take it to the snow this year.

I have always loved the XJ. I have built a few. The renix (low output/pre 91) are by far the most reliable out of the group. The have a higher nickel content in the block and tend to last up to 300k and have stronger high pinion diffs.

No to any Explorer. Toyota is good but im partial to jeeps. I think the 22r/22re Toyota 4 cylinder is their most reliable. Subaru will probably yield the best mpg though.

I have a Durango now. Only due to us having 5 kids and it's the smallest of the 7 passenger SUVs

Im looking into the same thing, kinda, and Im looking at Subarus aaaaall day! AWD & more space than I know wht to do with!

And in a couple years trade it in for a STI ha

Subaru ftw. My buddy owns a legacy he picked up with 300km on it and it survived 3 northern ontario winters with little to no maintenance, that's DAMN good and I doubt you'll say the same for a land rover worth 2k.

Fuck a Lesbaru, buy a Volvhoe
