    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

    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 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...

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...
