    Interested in a full size 4x4?

    The 6.0 CAN be made reliable, but the '03 6.0- as stated above, run. Ford bought my '03 6.0 back 3 months after purchasing it new!

    Adult w/ vehicle ADD- Excursion vs 3/4T '88 Burb- need an intervention pls!!

    I've had the Kamparoo, and while a nice rig, not near as versatile as the Sylvan I have the Toyo A/T-II's and love them, 315s on the X, and only rub a touch at full lock and slightly stuffed- stock wheels, which is good for offset, but a tad narrow for the 315's though I have had no issues. I...

    Hello Piers- I bought it new while at their facility in Co. grabbing some Defender parts. I took it out of the box for transporting it as space was at a premium- I do have all hardware and instructions in their original bags. Normal price is around $450 I think, but I got my discount and paid...

    2000 Ford Excursion as expedition vehicle

    I have an extra Asfir front alum skid for the '00 X- PM me if interested. I used the one that came with the bumper, but the other is actually better in that it protects more. Brand new w/ hrdw.

    Hitch mounted winch for a full size truck - recommendations?

    I think it is a bit too light- even the carrier is only rated at 9500#. The rule of thumb is winch =1.5x vehicle weight, so 12k# is close... Look at it this way- the winch is for emergencies, so why start out under designed??

    Adult w/ vehicle ADD- Excursion vs 3/4T '88 Burb- need an intervention pls!!

    Well, a bit of a twist today- found a very nice and modded '06 LR3, tow capacity right at 8k#, so works for me. This allows the 'burb to be the work horse, and sell the K30, the D-I, and the X- pretty good cash infusion in the end!! This does accomplish many things, and while still two vehicles...

    Considering an '03-04 Disco or LR3...

    I have had many of all 3 models, and for the intended purpose, I strongly urge you to go LR3, '06 and preferably '07-10. They still have their quirks, but many less. If you decide on an earlier model, go '97-'99 D-I. I currently drive a'99 D-I, and really enjoy it, as do my kids even though they...

    Agreed- have had a few SD's, and parts are not a problem in most of N, C, and S America.

    At what point to do you give up on a D1? Can they be made reliable?

    Guess I'm spoiled- seen too many thirds and axles explode. The lockers fix that, and the axles/CVs get upgraded simultaneously on mine- both front and rear. While this sounds expensive, in all reality it becomes very economical in the end, as it becomes bomb proof, and reliable as a result. And...
