Hello -
I'm really glad to have found this site as it's much more along the lines of what I want to do as opposed to recreational weekend 4 wheeling. I'm more interested in expeditions and long distance travel.
I'm thinking of replacing my built up D2 with one of the early 80's diesel 109's that are starting to pop up all over. I am starting to be too paranoid about my D2's electronic gadgets to enjoy being out in the woods with it. I am constantly expecting it to fry some little component and leave me stranded.
Good plan? Bad plan? Should I stay with what I have? Are these diesels prone to any inherent problems other than rust? I want to start doing some long range trips and just can't see a 10 year old D2 as being a reliable vehicle going into its second decade. Am I wrong? I know with enough money you can drive a Deusenburg around the world.
