Have a chance to trade for a 2001 xterra with 170 K. Too much? How are they with high mileage, I know nothing about them

For your budget 98-01 rear doors open leather or cloth would be ok depending on taste, don't worry too much on the broken dashes you will find, you can cap them for a couple of hundred bucks. 5.9 has more torque (360). 5.2 (318) both are proven and reliable. The plenum sometimes can be a...

If you want to find a crew cab in that price range I would be looking at older dodge rams. You can find one that has the extended cab if you look around. They do have their issues but their engines are not one of them. Most of the issues except for the tranny can be done in your driveway with...

Crew cab 4x4 pickup, brand of choice gives you everything you need

Tell him to get an older Chevy with the 6.2 diesel, you could hand crank one of those suckers and make it run, no need for electronic anything

It's probably because their broke and every dollar is going to put Fiats on the road...there is a reason they are looking for a partner/buyer to merge with...

That kayak will not be comfortable for you that close to the weight capacity, I work for a kayak company and i would recommend something that has at least 100 pounds higher capacity than your weight.

Nice LJ I had the exact same only in Khaki I bought it new off the lot . It got death wobble and I got really tired of chasing it down and replacing stuff so we parted ways. Still miss it

The OP mentioned ride and payload, that leaves the Power Wagon out on the payload department. One thing I haven't heard mentioned is that Ram has coil springs in the rear now, and that makes a world of difference in the ride on a 3/4 ton. I have a Ram 2014 2500 crew cab 4x 4 and I can't...

If you are going full size Ram would be the best bet on getting a crew cab 4x4 very close to your price point. I would completely ignore the sticker/advertised price on em. I have bought two in the last two years and the final price was nowhere near the sticker. If you find one you like I...

I was also going to recommend a new ram, they have a lifetime bumper to bumper warranty available so reliability shod not be an issue

That's a pretty good start, if you get wobble after replacing those items it will make it a little easier to track down. The leaf sprung jeeps didn't have too much of an issue with wobble, the coils and short wheel base seems to be the magic formula. Mine started wobbling within 3k of changing...

Find some Junkyard fenders and hack them up. Just be aware with the TJ, that you may induce death wobble sooner rather than later unless you are very careful with your lift choice and replacing worn front end parts. Fender clearance and taller tires would slow this down a bit if you have the...

First I will say that I am a fan of the Cherokees, very comfy and capable, now with that out of the way... You said you have owned other SUVs and trucks and want a jeep. Depending on the SUV's you have had they will be pretty similar to a cherokee and you may not get the Jeep experience you...

Of the three listed I would select the Ford with the 5.0.

I love the CJ's and rock crawler mud toys have their place, but I would like to see some "expedition equipped" CJ's as well as opinions on preparing them and modifications for expedition use.

A defender that has offroad capability and removable top is the only vehicle that will compete with Jeep at it's own game. In the Atlanta area I would say it would hurt sales in the city.

Too bad your not near me, you can find Cherokees that are daily drivers for 1500. That is a bit high with a transfer case rebuild off the bat. But I agree an xJ cherokee would be a good pick. I almost always recommend an xj for anyone that wants a reliable driver in that price range. The...

I rode one cross country solo for about a month, it's a pretty decent explore the US bike, not the best off road but it will get you down a dirt road, your gonna be in the wind all day, the screen helps a little, and the riding position gets old after a while, I stopped a good bit, and knew I...

Just remember the Raptor has a #950 pound payload. 4 grown men and beer and you'll be over it... The new power wagon has coils on all four corners the ride is a lot better, still rides like a truck, but better. I have a 2500 with the 6.4 that has the coils and I love it, over 3k payload and...
