Go caching with you? Maybe. Shake your hand? NEVER! i think we need to get you two in a tent...

Well hell, Bret...that just shows we don't have any standards! I've cached with both of you so I'd have to agree hey now, i don't recall Bret or myself ever browsing through porn at a cache site like a certain smurf i know! oh wait - i cant say that about bret, can i?

Well hell, Bret...that just shows we don't have any standards!

Indiana? INDIANA???

some people have no standards... Hey, I have standards..... They're just not very high. geeze - you went caching with her? i guess your standards aren't that high after all! mmmmmmm sonic slushees

some people have no standards...

i'm guessing you didn't see my original post while the sentra did great as an off road vehicle (considering it wasn't built for it) i want something the can handle off road - i'm not talking about driving over boulders and fording streams - i just need something with a bit of clearance and that can TAKE being driven off road - in addition, there are loan restrictions i'm looking at and my own price restrictions - so the pickings i have to choose from are slim. when i started the search for my 'new' vehicle i knew nothing about what to look for in a 4wd vehicle. i'm still not totally learned yet - but i'm gettin there. by the by - does anyone know anything about the 2003 gmc sonoma?

my guess would be the most recent geowoodstock(4) in dallas texas -

can i get options on a used vehicle? what is HD cooling? btw - i WILL scavange junk yards to find auto parts - did it for my old 95 neon and the 93 sentra (course it wasn't that hard for those two) - but i'm not afraid of digging and getting my hands dirty - also i do know that this model has the part time commad-trac transfer case i got the winow sticker faxed to me - optional equipment: among many "standard" options, side rails were added (not a roof rack) - whoever bought this originally didn't buy it for the 4wd capacity (at least i don't think so)

Ignoring the loan restrictions and the fact that Liberty owners seem willing to part with them much sooner than Xterra owners (hint, hint), how did you like the Xterra relative to the Liberty? Did it drive well, how was the room, cargo space etc? i never got to drive one - i can't afford to purchase one, so i never went for a test drive. =(

unfortunately, all the xterras i've looked at have too many miles on them to be considered for my loan - the liberty also has an 8 year/80000 mile factory warranty on it, fits my loan restrictions, looks good in CR, has had (for the most part) great reviews from most folks i've talked to - all i need to do now is go test drive one =)

fyi - this is what i'm currently looking at as a possibility to purchase... 2003 jeep liberty sport 4wd

even with all the great posts about jeep cherokees - i'm staying away from em. 1) my loan options require me to purchase a 2000 or newer vehicle. 2) Consumer Reports had nothing good to say about the cherokee 3) my brother had one and it was nothing but misery. 4) my financial situation requires some kind of a warranty on my 'new-to-me' car. chances are i won't find a cherokee with that. between what i've heard about libertys and what consumer reports says as well as the price range i've found them in - they are definitely being considered. but now i'll be adding the xterra to that list. just keep your fingers crossed that those are in my price range too! thanks!

thanks to all who have thrown in their opinons and have added info for me to check out - i'm currently looking at 2003 jeep libertys - hope to have a new pic to add to the topic soon =)

ummmm - while i appreciate your political opinon - that really didn't answer my original question. thanks.

Thanks - I'm out on cape cod, so lots of snow and ice don't exist out here (no really, i'm serious) lots of slush - but even my sentra could manage that mess when i needed it to. so i'm not terribly worried about having something special for day to day driving - i just know know that when it comes to caching, i'll take my car off road even when it isn't made to drive off road (which i really why i'm looking for something off road *G*) thanks for the info - i've heard a lot about cherokees - i'd like to keep the size of the vehicle relatively normal - so no major SUVs for me - i'm really liking the jeeps lately - (but i've always wanted a jeep, so my judgement is a bit clouded *g*) - i guess it's time to start lookin closer at cherokees =) 'neko

hey all - after my poor little sentra got totaled last week (on it's way to a cache, of course!) i find myself looking for a new-to-me vehicle. seeing as how the sentra constantly thought it was an off road vehicle (nothing i could do about it, i swear!) i'm looking to pick something up along those lines to help out with my caching addiction =) my problem is, i know NOTHING about what i should look for in a 4wd vehicle (awd, 4wd, permanent, low-range etc etc etc) can anyone give me some suggestions on where (preferably online) i can read up on some basics in off-roading vehicles before i start looking? thanks! 'neko

not adding anything good to this one, just saying hey deermark! long time no see =)

Hey koneko, or should I say Ahoy, Matey, sorry you missed it today, I hear you're finding two caches to Cybrets one! It's more like 1.5 to 1, thank YOU! And that's the difference between working one day a week and no days a week! Bret yeah - i got nothing for that one...
