Not mine, found while shopping for a new ride. https://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/d/2002-land-discovery-cash-and/6470919620.html 2002 Land Discovery 97,000 miles. Runs and Drives Heat, Radio, Dual Moonroofs, Trade For: $1000 cash and 1,699 Ripple or All Cash Negotiable, but no low ball...

Back from the dead. I ended up shelving my full-size search in the fall of 2015, bought an RX hybrid that gets great in town milage & can easily tow our ultralight coleman popup around the south east. Our family minivan is on its last legs; we're committed to buying a used Expedition or...

Just found your thread - hope you're feeling better. The abctrailerparts link from January is no longer good. Curious - What suspension did you get w/ the new 65" axle? I'm restoring & lifting a '95 coleman cedar & want to add shocks to help w/ bounce. Can't see if you've put shock mounts on...

They're asking $22,500 on thesamba - first time poster over there, too. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2072475

Gone. Free - in case anyone needs a couple 8" wheels & tires for a utility trailer. Pickup in Charlotte, NC. Left over from lifting our coleman popup. 5.70 x8, 5 on 4 1/2 Tires rated at 715 each, but I wouldn't put 1,430lbs on them for a long ride.

Something to think on - there are some ultra-lightweight older popups out there. They show up in the classifieds here; you don't need to get an off-road model for what you're doing. I just picked up a '95 Coleman. It is right around 1,000lbs w/ ~150lbs at the hitch. I moved the axle from over-...

Thinking about picking up a Monterro for myself, so following along. I had my VW's injectors rebuilt - well worth the $17.50 per. I sent mine to Mr Injector - happy with the results. Clean, fast work and he gives you before and after flow reports. I think my rebuilt Bosch injectors are way...

or USB for $13 I use this: $13 on amazon with one of these:

Yup - they are different beasts. 2wd vanagon behind a 2wd LT for comparison:

Some good advice already here. Your budget is really, really tight. I'd recommend either a "big" inexpensive all in one, like the already mentioned used tamron 18-270, or (my preference) a nice prime. The nifty 50 ain't bad, but I might think about one of canon's newer pancake STM lenses, like...

I've seen a few LTs in the states - 25 year rule applies. I've seen full camper conversions, firetrucks, ambos and minimalist rigs, 2wd and 4wd. They show up on thesamba.com classifieds every once in a blue moon. There's a guy in florida who imports - can't remember contact info. This dude...

Back from Peru - inReach was great. no real verizon-partner coverage once we got to Cusco all the way to Machu Picchu. Relied on the inReach for 2-way to home, keeping wife & kids up to date. A guy with t-moble had good coverage everywhere in Peru. An AT&T phone was hit or miss in cities, very...

I used tintable raptor on the nose, bottom panels, and front interior footwells of my vanagon. Sprayed, not rolled and happy with the results. Holding up well, tends to collect dust & dirt. Not sure I'd be happy if I'd painted the whole rig in raptor - a couple guys on thesamba.com have done the...

Pack from Peru. InReach was awesome - breadcrumbs + two way messaging worked everywhere. We had verizon, t-mobile, and AT&T phones in our group. Everything worked in Lima. Everything worked in Arequipa. Once we hit Cusco, Verizon (my phone) stumbled - either weak 3G signal or no signal at...

http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/162964-OK-finally-time-for-the-Inreach-Explorer New InReach owner. Works well as long as you have direct view of sky. Have a friend that bought one to take hunting - heavy east coast forest cover would block signal for him. I've had no problems w/...

No affiliation - looks pretty clean. 53k miles. Pics gave me high school flashbacks. https://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/6002677499.html

Got my inReach SE set up & paired w/ my iPhone. $250 for the base unit w/o nav function. Seems pretty slick - 2-way text messaging worked great w/ test recipients on different carriers here in the states. 2-way messaging worked direct from device and when paired with phone. Recipient...

That seam rust will require full interior out + new sheetmetal. You'll find some big holes under gaskets after pulling windows, too.
