    Auto Trans ID

    Thank you for the help. Just found this in my search I thought I'd share. Sounds like very useful info. And an option to still go with the 1.9 tdi. By reading this it sounds like the AW3 and AW4 may have the same bell housing bolt pattern. If not it sounds like the bell housing may be...

    Auto Trans ID

    These diesels you mentioned how hard are they to source? Any aftermarket support? injector, turbo upgrades? Would they both bolt up to the aw3? Is the model of the aw3 in the monty actually AW30(E)-40LE? Is this a good, tough trans? Is aisin built by toyota

    Guys I'm looking to buy my second overlander rig. I'm going back and fourth from a 2nd gen trooper, Suzuki sidekick 4door and the 2nd gen monty. My plan is to find one that has the most aftermarket support and one that I can convert to VW TDI diesel with one of the TDI off the shelf kits. The...

    Disco 1 or not?

    I found a 98' disco LE7. I don't know what the LE7 designates. Can anyone help me out on that? I assume that it is still a D1, but not sure. What is special about the LE7, is it good to have? Thanks Matt

    Disco 1 or not?

    Thanks for the offer and I would love to but i'm in Crimson Tide Country. (Go Bama #1) I see why alot of you guys have both or have had both the rangie and D1. I like them both alot. The classic lines of the rangie, and style of the D1. One day I decide on getting a rangie and the next a D1...

    Disco 1 or not?

    I've thought about the RRC, but I dont know how it compares to the disco 1 for offroad capability. I like the 95' RRC, with a coil spring suspension.

    Disco 1 or not?

    I also like the 60 and 62's I had made my mind up on a 1988 62. But the more I looked and thought about it, I don't really want to get back into something that is going to have alot of rust and body repair to be done. There hard to find in my budget with minimal baody problems. They do have a...

    My kids are 11 and 7. There will only be three in the LR. I've looked at some fj80's and they just don't strike me as the LR.

    Disco 1 or not?

    I've been searching, and all I find are horror stories. I want to know what you guys honestly think about buying one for a 2500 mile trip.

    Disco 1 or not?

    Ok, please be honest. I'm taking my kids on a 2500mile camping expedition next year and I'm looking for a vehicle. I really like the disco 1 I've always wanted one and I think that they are an icon for expedition/camping. I like all of the glass and the way you sit up in the cab. My budget is...

    Land cruiser help?

    luk4mud, Yes. And now that I think about it I'm pretty sure that I have had at least one jeep in the garage since I was about 25. I still like jeep for its offroad abilities, but I hate seeing them every where. I cant go check the mail anymore without having a jeep pass me. There seems to be no...

    Land cruiser help?

    No I have posted at ih8mud yet. Yes it has high miles, from I can tell talking to the seller it looks as though it has been well taken care of. Seller just put a new air flow sensor, and a new brake booster in it. Is this a good model with the AWD or should I stay away from it.

    Land cruiser help?

    I've been looking for an expo vehicle, and have come across a nice land cruiser. I don't know anything about land cruisers, I have searched here an over at IH8mud. I did find the land cruiser guide for new owners and some other useful newbie help, but nothing that satisfies my q's. The LC in...

    Anyone running a bronco?

    Just wanted to see some pics of fullsize bronco's. I'm building a bronco for my trail rig. I'd like to see what you guys have done to your bronco for some ideas. How do you think the bronco performs as a trail/camping rig? Thanks
