My04T4R Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Here is something for you to drool over... good pix on every page, http://www.tundratalk.net/forums/tundra-suspension-talk/80112-tundra-long-travel-build.html .. not trying to highjack your thread but what do you guys think of a vehicle like this, a full desert off road racer/ daily driver? Is there enough places around here to make it worth while? Or would you all just find big a** jumps all day every day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I heard that they are thirsty and like to break down. It's a British made 'niche' vehicle. If you're looking for reliability, ease of service, inexpensive parts and low fuel consumption, this is not the vehicle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 May be he added an extra 0 by accident?? Then again, it has race pedals! Crappy Tire race pedals and crappy paint job. lol Like the guy with the V8 Dakota, I think he just wants to show off his truck! It may be worth $5k to him but he'd be lucky to get $1,500! And that's for the tires and battery! 329k km! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Let him ask his $5k for as long as he wants! That way it will stick around for Tom to make him a reasonable offer after his home purchase B)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72LandRover88 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 2002 Discohttp://m.autotrader.ca/a/19_7679533 I heard that they are thirsty and like to break down. It's a British made 'niche' vehicle. If you're looking for reliability, ease of service, inexpensive parts and low fuel consumption, this is not the vehicle! 5000lb vehicle and a small (I think 4l) V8 are not a good combo if fuel economy is what you're after... full-time 4wd doesn't help. Parts and maintenance are not as bad as the reputation would have you think... that is once you get the electrical gremlins sorted and do away with the airbags... swap them for a terrafirma or OME 2" lift set of coils. Only really expensive if you insist on dealer maintenace (or any local places really, seems most people have $ signs in thier eyes when they see Land Rover) and if ypu insist on Genuine parts (everything is available aftermarket... but you must order it usually... which causes problems for daily driver types.. ) Plus side is you get a vehicle that is very capible off-road (very near stock Disco 1s and 2s took part in Camel Trophy... G4 Challange as well I think...), very comfortable highway cruiser with room enough for wife, kids and puppies, plus a reasonable tow capacity. Biggest problem is panel corrosion.... not the stuff you can see, thats mostly aluminium... but the inner bits that are steel rot BAD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
