    Help with disco.......

    D1s can be had for dirt cheap. Like less than 2k but require some work Early or high mileage d2s can be had for under 5k. My opinion(depending on budget which you have not mentioned) would be get a 99 d2 that has had the headgaskets done in the last 25k miles. Good owner that has done all the...

    Help with disco.......

    What made you sell the 4 runner? What's the purpose of this vehicle - grocery getter, mall crawler or expo rig. Sorry to hear you had problems with the rover.

    Thermoelectric Coolers?

    Look at the duty cycle on those things. I've compared the thermoelectric vs a true fridge and what I've found is you should either: get a nice cooler - yeti, engel, etc OR buy a real fridge - dometic, arb, engel, edgestar everything in between isn't worthwhile. Marginal results at best. -Sam

    Xterra vs Pathfinder

    Locked vs open diffs isn't a fair battle. Unless you consider a truck with lockers and little else vs an unlocked rover with traction. -Sam

    Xterra vs Pathfinder

    Have a buddy with an 06 xterra, I've heard good things about xterras on this section of the forum but was rather unimpressed by the performance of his. Good mileage but lack of power, poor traction control, didn't perform very well on the trails. Dimensions are similar to that of the disco but...
