Help educate me here guys, going to be in the rig market here soon and it most likely will not be an xj. :speepin:
My xj leaked like crazy/ and EVERYONE has one. Not trying to bring down the xj's as they are very versatile vehicles with an amazing aftermarket/local support.
My criteria for my next rig is something somewhat unique that won't kill back/ears for long trips. I plan on taking more "expedition" type trails than the crazy brake you're rig carnage/penrose trails.
lol, old stage would be the level of trail that would shake the rig down when I want to do a fun trail.
Due to my lack of mechanical knowledge I can be honest with myself and say I will not be self sufficient enough for a bad ass crawling rig. Also, I am not interested in buying a tow rig
I am looking into landcruisers fj80's (sweet/but kinda pricey) I love the factory locker and toyota reliability/ start at 4k from what im seeing. Pretty much on the top of my list.
Next are the landrovers, whats the deal with these things. Stock electric locker is pretty cool. these are only like 3k....sweet/ but how are the stock diffs for 33's? how reliable/expensive are these? What models are the "good ones" if any? Seem like a decent choice, just not interested in air ride suspension if it comes with it.... Please educate me on this make.
possibly a zj.... IF I find a built model well cared on the cheep(kinda bottom of the list)
Any other idea's here for a nice rig here would be appreciated!
No sami, 4runner, xj, big old chevy. Im looking for seating for 4 with room to spare- leather would be nice- factory electric locker is real nice too.
No carb's/starting price of 4k is about where im looking...
Thanks in advance!
