New cache vehicle?

[Gernot90]

Hi,

 

i like this one most of all 4x4 vehicles:

That´s not very difficult, it´s mine.

 

It is Diesel powered and uses about 9 Liter per 100 Km (sorry i don´t know it in mpg). The only problem i think is, to get one in the USA.

I just wanted to reiterate what a couple other people said about the Jeeps. You can get a pretty good one fairly cheap. Around here I've seen the 97 Wrangler 2.5 liter going for about $4500. That's not too bad. That should get around 20 MPG, which isn't great, but hey. They are very easy to work on. Especially if you get an older one. Before I had my Jeep I would always take my vehicles somewhere else to get fixed. With the Jeep I've done everything by myself. Which reminds me, if you get a Jeep try and buy a Factory Service Manual for your year, or at least a Haynes manual. That will become invaluable.

 

Here's my Jeep:

 

 

It's a '91 YJ. It had an inline 6 when I bought it, but that was showing its age. Now it's got a Chevy 400 in it. I plan on getting some beefier axles and some lockers on it before too long. Great vehicle for caching. Nothing beats the open air feel of the Jeep.

My Cachemobile, a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport, 4 door, 4 wheel drive. Goes anywhere, gets decent milage, and holds the kids and all their stuff on our road trips. Wouldn't trade it for anything at this point. Very reliable and fun to drive. You can find these used for a very reasonable price.

the deuce and a half you show is worth a ton. the axles are indestructible. i have seen people get them stuck though. the low transfer would allow you to pull down a house. i would buy it if i had 5k to blow!!! nice addition to my driveway, and i would drive it to the next truck meet.

Yeah I've wanted one for a while now, but I just can't justify it. I really don't have any need for it. I just think it would be a fun toy.

2002 Nissan Xterra 4x4 SE. Alpine Green, the ultimate caching machine. Since I don't know how to post pics, click on my name, then user profile, then click on the pic for full size.

It sounds like what you need is a MaxiMog

Way too many features to list here... You really just need to go to the website and check it out. Lets just say that if comes with GPS, HF/VHF/UHF communications, a jet boat, and unmanned aircraft, and a 123gal fuel tank.
