    Need some Disco owners with opinions...

    Thinking of doing both at this point. Our Disco has been really well maintained, and we really like her. Probably going to ship her and also look for a decent (not perfect) Tacoma mainland side and ship that also. Thanks for your reply!

    Thanks again for your reply! Actually, I took my Disco question to the Land Rover specific part of this forum and asked for some opinions. All said, we are going to keep our Disco and ship her. Probably buy a little beater island Taco once we get there. I get, and appreciate what you said. Our...

    Have looked on Craigslist over there. Beaters are really beaters. A friend who has lived there recommended shipping a vehicle that we know.

    There is the crux of it. Toyota appears to have the much bigger following and service over there..

    Need some Disco owners with opinions...

    Shipping is about $1200.00 from California. No, the issue is longevity. I've not seen any Disco's over there in the last two weeks on Craigslist, checked daily. A couple of Range Rovers. A friend who lived there said to be wary of "local" cars due to lack of maintenance. My local Rover mechanic...

    Christophe Noel, Thanks much for your response. I'll say this first, I'd like nothing better than to keep our Disco, put a moderate lift under her and go. The issue is that she is worth (Edmunds TMV) by the books about $2000.00 private seller. I live in San Diego currently, and see similar ones...

    Moving to Kauai, in need of vehicle advise.

    calicamper, Hi, and thank you! I agree about Oahu, traffic and all. That being said, Kauai is a bit of a different creature. Lots of "backroads" and access. As far as a shipping a vehicle with problems, I'm with you on that. I'll post this mornings findings on the main thread response. Pretty...

    dcwhybrew, It is an option. Care to give a bit more of a reason? Are you a fan of the Diso II, and do you think that the milage of 140,000 (and going) is a non issue? With those questions, ours is in pretty fine shape, all things considered. We've kept up on maintenance, she runs really well...

    SDDiver5, Thanks for the quick response. That is why the Taco made the list in the first place. My wife and I are both really active outdoors, and want to raise our kiddos that way. Thus the move. I am also just wanting to hear the plus and minuses of the other Toyotas. Kauai is a magical place...
