As for my use, I know it is difficult to define since descriptive terms are subjective, and to be honest I do not know the trail rating system. Once I get the cherokee sold, I am looking mostly at a Discovery or 4Runner (03-04 on either), with those choices coming from what I have driven and...

I know, you are all probably wishing I would stop thinking about different vehicles and buy something so I stop asking questions. Well, If someone would buy my cherokee I would have to so I can get to work... Anyway, on paper the VW Taureg looks pretty good- adjustable suspension with GC...

Looks like a place to add to my to do list

Do we get a report on the trip? Love to hear what you found...

Checked the x96.com web site. Has all the details, actually have to listen to have a chance to win.

Me niether until I stumbled across them on while searching used car inventory at the National Auto Palza web site. It appears to be a Brazil/Romanian joit project for a cheap (or hopefully inexpensive is a better word) off-road geared SUV. Other than being smaller than the others vehicles I am...

Interesting reading all the posts at once! Certainly alot of anger, finger pointing and common ground, all trampled at once. I think there are a couple of common ideas that need to be remembered: 1) As was stated, the damage is the same be it deleberate or out of ignorance. 2) We can...

Just the info I needed. Thanks all. It is good to hear the same from everyone- sounds like the hands down winner is the disco. Once I get around to selling the Jeep, my pickings are going to be between the Disco and 4runner, with the main Disco problem being gas milage.

Given the choice for the uses we have talked before)moderate off-road, some towing, family hauling etc) would you choose a 03-04 Disco or 00-01 Range Rover? Why?

I have averaged 19-20 mpg on my 01 XJ. It now has 102,000 miles and the only problems I have had was a tie-rod end I replaced at about 60k and it has a very slow (no puddles) collant leak I have to track down. Otherwise it has ran great. FYI, I am wanting to sale mine. It is high miles but...

I see.

lifted from the Toyota web site: "V8 4WD Full-time 4-wheel drive with Torsen® [1] limited-slip center differential with locking feature." Says the same on the V6 except is not full-time 4wd.

I know what you mean about the 4runner. On paper it seems like the top pick (power and torque, milage, reliablity etc), the V8 even has rear locking dif, but driving it it just has no soul. I am really after a vehicle that can seat 7, so my finalists are the 4runner, disco (if only they could...

I guess I would like to know your overall take on the disco. Recommended? My main concern is milage, as I have a long commute, but it seems like one of the best stock off-roaders outthere. Drew

Anyone know a good web link or other source on tire sizes that will fit various vehicle without a lift etc? I have only been able to find ones for Jeeps. (if you have followed my vehicle search, thread I am looking mostly for info on 03-04 Grand Cherokee, Discovery, 4runner and Montero)...

can't argue with that, but my pocket book might make a fuss. Does anyone run or know anyone running the newer style Montero?

look at party and individual No question in my mind you need to look at both the individual candidate and the party platform. In both parties you have those who go against the grain, but when push comes to shove party politics are a big factor. Too few are willing to vote against their...

Good info. Thanks, all! I hope Pokey isn't just trying to get more LR sold to keep is job in service going (kidding !) Anyway, looks like I probably can't go to wrong with the 4runner, GC or Disco. I will just have to see what deals I find. Any thoughts or experience with the newer...
