Hmmm...you could stick with the wagon concept and go with an outback or a forester. Alternatively, i can recommend these: 1985-1989 4runner 1995-2002 trooper 1992-1999 cherokee Any tacoma/4runner with 22re or 3.4l v6

Yup, I've been reading a few of his posts over on the planet. good stuff. He's answered a bunch of my questions already. :)

Thank you, sir. Sounds like I should be leaning more towards the repair/replace than the re-power route. I've had it since 140k, and I've poured quite a bit of maintenance into it, so I'm keen to keep it running. . I do have a vehicle to use when this one is down, so that's not an issue. More...

Thanks for the input, much appreciated. Just trying to consider all the possible options.

So, earlier this year, I was promoted to management and given my own group to run. About the same time, we re-dedicated ourselves to paying down my student debt Consequently, we chose to keep my trooper and maintain/upgrade it to stay away from new car debt. That being said, at 188,000 miles, I...

Going to be ordering some new tires soon. Decisions, decisions... So many freakin choices.

Good luck on the camp chair search. The shop in clairemont had quite the selection and they indicated that they intended to grab a bunch more stock to have on hand, which of course was music to my ears...haha. We were up on Mt laguna, actually. Hadn't been there before. It was honestly as easy...

Many puddles were busted. :) . . . checked out a few easy trails

Well, FINALLY had some time to take the trooper out for a spin in the snow-covered mtn's east of San Diego. We kept it pretty tame since we were solo, and I have literally zero recovery equipment on the trooper right now. I even have the main skid plate removed from a recent service, too..haha.

Off Road Warehouse, kind sir.

silly.

Yeah, I think we've ruled out sleeping in the back for now, so in that case, this becomes a viable option. It comes with a gravity fed hose that can be plugged into a sailing galley type pump faucet. I've also seen setups that use a small inline electric pump to a regular faucet. One thing I...

Amazingly enough a local shop started stocking Frontrunner products. I was floored. I immediately grabbed one of these upright 10 gallon water tanks to test out in the trooper. It was a very good fit, both side to side, and overall height. $260.00 or so, seems like a pretty good deal for an...

The alternative would be to remain at 4.30. That would save about 1100.00...

Ok, so: 95-97 rear axle ($ 250.00?) Locker ($500) compressor ($100) Front axle gears loaded onto third member ($250.00) independent4x - http://www.independent4x.com/Isuzu-10-Bolt-Front-3rd-Member_p_50.html Labor to install front 3rd (Not doing it...lol) ($600?) Boot kit to replace busted CV...

LOL...Patriot...Liberty...whatever. :)

So in that case, what would I need? An older complete axle or just an older style 3rd member to load the locker into? If I was sticking with the same gear ratio, I'm assuming they would use my existing ring and pinion?

Steve, i'd be interested in a carrier just like you have. Is a plate rear bumper required, or can it be built stand-alone?

Yeah, i'm not sure what did it. It started slow crankin' about 6 months ago, and just finally wouldnt start at all last week. I honestly just thru parts at it (battery) because i dont have time or energy to troubleshoot, nor space to work on it right now. Once installed, it has been firing up...
