Tomorrow it’s going into my brothers shop for a full inspection, hopefully I didn’t get screwed over! I drove it 60 miles back and didn’t really feel like there was any major issues it had a little slop in the steering but it was quiet otherwise. Transfer case or front differential is the only...
So I bought it and it does need work, the chain in the tcase is lose so it needs a new or used one and already priced one and my brother will install it. It only has 119850 miles and came from Oregon so it’s rust free. Got it for $3,840 out the door.
I'm going to look at a 2002 Xterra in the morning hope it is good as the pictures seem to make it. They say it has 120k miles and asking $4500. No mention of the engine size tho
2012 Nissan Xterra Pro-4X 101k $12,000
2004 Lexus GX 470 99k $12,000
2010 Subaru Forester 2.5 XT Limited 106k $9,999
Finding a jeep XJ not jacked up is very hard now being 2001 was last year.
All them these are 300+ miles away and all seem clean and service on the carfax was very detailed...
Thanks, The more I look It seems for my price range Nissan is the better way to go, But I'm also finding some Lexus GX 470's for about the same price. I'm sure something will just show up when the time is right. I'm torn on the Xterra, GX470, Forester, jeep XJ and 4runner. I know the Subaru is...
I plan on sleeping in the back or a rooftop tent. I'll only go to town when I need stuff so every few days. I have Idea's for a shower and toilet to keep clean. shame on VW they are nice cars but in my price range they are all but worn out then. I have a solar system already for power and hot...
I have a list I've seen for recommended rigs
There are plenty of the VW Touareg around here for 4k or less and around 125k to 150k miles. I even found one with a diesel engine. Just know nothing of that engine so was worried. They are nice cars tho, my sister had a golf turbo and that was...
Thank you for you input, I was looking at the forester but heard they have head gasket problems. Apparently not with 300k on that 2.5l engine, I know the timing belt needs to be change every 100k tho. Never thought about a Ranger, I had a 2000 Mazda B3000 and it was nice. I'm looking everyday...
Ok great,
Current planes are to go to the 4 corners states and see the sites. I guess the first few trips will be doing this type of driving. I would like to see the Moab, Grand Canyon and up through San Juan National Forest in Colorado. For travelers it's pretty much me, my wife doesn't like...
So I really don't know where to start or post so maybe this is the wrong place. Looking to start from scratch literally, I have nothing not even a car. I'm looking for a SUV I can drive to work and also use for overlanding. With Toyota outpricing itself I was thinking of the Nissan Xterra. I can...
Hello all! I have been lerking for a while now and recently the wife and I decided to start working on our truck. Looking forward to hearing and looking at all your guy's rigs and experiences.
