Let's have an SUV thread
Just got this 2000 Disco for $2300, no leaks and runs pretty smooth. How bad did I do?
>>14126025
>Discovery for that cheap
Alright, what's wrong with it?
If there really isn't anything wrong, then you got a pretty good deal. I see pretty trashed ones going for ~10k down here.
>>14126025
It'll be dead in a week
Have had this for nearly 7 years, since high school. No real reason to upgrade. It's been so damn reliable, except for the transmission needing a rebuild at 140k miles. It's spent more time off road than a LOT of Jeeps and lifted trucks.
>>14126063
4.0 or 4.6?
>>14126070
4.0 :(
A 3 valve 4.6L Aviator would be sweet.... but maybe then, it's bad to Ford quality ?
the only SUV remotely cool
5spd bretty gud in this. Can whip this thing around like a small car
>>14126044
It's a Disco.
>>14126044
Well the doors don't lock and the Driver window is stuck, lots of things in the interior are broken but I don't really mind
>>14126025
> 2000
> $2300
Why so expensive? They go for half that in britain.
>>14126099
>dat ride height
That's not an SUV, it's an estate.
>>14126373
Does yours have the SOHC or OHV 4.0? I had a first gen 5spd 2WD Explorer Sport, I know what you mean about being able to whip it. Also, the thing was a rain/snow drifting champ.
>>14126044
lol where the fuck do you live? I'm in Texas a 2000-2004 is cheap as shit.
OP you did OKAY considering it has problems that should be fixed. But you didn't get ripped.
>>14128272
SUVs are wagons, though.
Is the Discovery's reputation for unreliability just a meme or is it really that bad?
>>14128387
4.0L ones are ok, but they leak. I think the Disco II had Bosch electronics with the 4.0 at one point, so you don't have to deal with Lucas crackhead engineering, but maybe not. The 4.6 is a total piece of shit that will crack liners and should be avoided at all cost.
Muh xj. 208k miles and drives great.
>>14128549
>>14128549
Get that POS out of my face.
got an Isuzu Trooper
160k on it
apart from some rust here and there it's a legit beater and it only cost £1100
>>14128678
Stay mad
>>14128759
I'm not mad, I'm lmao'ing at ur life senpai.
>>14128355
Yeah but with more height/ground clearance.
>>14128303
I don't have it anymore but it was SOHC. It had like 200k miles and a lot of shit didn't work anymore (speedometer, hatch). miss it desu
>>14126025
Well you got it cheap so great. I would expect lots of electrical problems though. Those were really terrible with that.
>>14126099
>>14128272
At most you could call it a Crossover

Post the list
>not posting the goat

are you faggots even trying
>>14126076
i used to have a 2001 mercury mountaineer 5.0 beater. it was my first car before it was my beater, but my sister crashed her silverado last week, so i let her borrow it and she hit a deer. it fucked up the radiator, both headlights, the grill, and there was transmission fluid everywhere. i would be pretty surprised if it wasn't totalled. feels bad mane
>>14130284
>GM
into the garbage
>>14130317
post another better sounding faster suv made by your favorite brand then goy
im not a huge gm fan either but theres not a single brand out there that hasnt made at least one good car
>>14130293
and my DD which is fine.
200 toyota 4runner sr5 4x4 with the 3.4l
210k miles with just a timing belt, starter, head gasket, and infinite CV boots
>>14130323
>GM hasnt even won the dakar
kek
>>14130332
obviously i was referring to street cars m8
stock vs stock is the only fair comparison
i
>>14130342
thats a stock pajero m88
>>14130332
wtf is that?
>>14130350
first of all it absolutely is not stock dont delude yourself.
second of all it still isnt faster than the tbss pls try harder
>>14130359
>the pajero evolution is not stock
but it is
>>14130357
a street legal dakar rally suv
any advise on grand vitara? planning to buy a one
>>14130368
so not available in the US I take it?
>>14130368
are you honestly blind?
look at the differences between the two pictures you posted.
the first one is lifted several inches, has enormous swamp tires and headlamps on the front. the second picture has none of those things. and those are just what i can tell from looking at the pictures. are you retarded?
>>14130382
you losers have to wait 25 years to import a car right?
ha
ha
haha
ha
>>14130378
Don't. Just get a Toyota or Subaru
>>14130388
>its completly modified because someone changed the wheels!!
stop being dumb
>>14130392
s-shut up
>>14130401
>Hurr I was wrong and got BTFO better deflect everything now
I'm not even that same guy kill yourself my man.
>>14130417
>wrong
but i was not
the pajero evo is stock, different wheels that can be changed for the stock ones dont matter
>>14130357
Pajero Evolution. The test bed for the 3rd generation Pajero's rear suspension. Raced in the Dakar and did a lot of winning, just like all Pajeros before and after.
>>14130400
Is it that bad? A forester and a fj would do better?
>>14130401
truly pathetic.
really easy to tell you're new to the hobby m8.
>>14130421
The SECOND pajero evo you posted was stock. The FIRST one is a fucking rally car and is far from it. There is a massive difference between those two cars. Jesus fucking christ you are completely idiotic.
>>14130425
>mad the pajero is stock
its ok m8
one day u will get gud
>>14130432
The Pajero Evo works fine as a rally car, stock, though. Just like all Pajeros.
>>14130439
literally alphonse-tier reponses
>>14130456
literally Anon-replying-to-Alphonse butthurt-tier responses
>>14130454
So let me get your argument straight here.
>anon posts the tbss claiming it is incredibly fast which it is
>you respond with le gm memes
>when he asks you to post a better, faster suv you post a highly modified rally car saying 'hurr this is faster' which it isnt anyway and even if it was comparing stock to modified is apples and oranges
>when you finally get it through your retarded fucking head that the rally car you posted isnt stock your response is 'hurr well the stock one can also rally'
Um sure? I don't even understand what you're trying to get at here
>>14130491
All right, I'm not the guy that responded to any GM posts or anything but I'm gonna stop you here. That Pajero Evo IS NOT highly modified by any stretch of the imagination and isn't a rally car. It's, for all intents and purposes, stock. The T2 Dakar class would see it that way, and you should too. Changing tires and putting lights on it doesn't mean anything. Not that I care about comparing it to the TBSS because they're two different cars. The TBSS can't go off road.
>>14130516
are you suggesting a lift and swamppers dont improve its capability off road?if you are seriously suggesting that makes it basically stock then you are incredibly wrong.
i completely agree with you though comparing the tbss and the pajero doesnt even really make sense theyre totally different
>>14130491
>which it is
yeah right
that turd cant even travel through a pothole
>highly modified
stop being fucking stupid
god damn, GM fangirls are so fucking dumb
>>14130432
>put mud terrains on a stock car
>hurr its a rally car nao
GM fanboys are this stupid
>>14126025
Re-spool that winch and re-spool it in a more neat fashion. You are going to need to put a load on it while you are spooling it in as well, cable looks very loose on the spool. The cable can become pinched when it is wound up all fucked up like that or it could come off the spool permaturely when it is loose as well.
>>14130528
>are you suggesting a lift
It's not lifted.
>wamppers
They're BFG Mud Terrains.
>dont improve its capability off road?
If it does, so what? It's stock. Coilovers, if it was lifted which it is not, are not highly modified. Changing tires isn't highly modifying a car, either.
>>14126025
I'd change:
>the oil and transmission fluid
>the filters and the plugs
And pray it doesn't break.
> SUV thread
> arguing about lap times.
you're doing it wrong, ese
>>14130833
also, other than body mods, that Dakar Pajaro looks like it could be stock.
Stick some lights, fender flares and maybe some coilovers on any street legal GM vehicle, then have fun at Dakar. On the bright side, your wheels won't fall off very far from the starting line. So you'll have a shit day, but you probably won't die.
>>14130865
>Stick some lights, fender flares and maybe some coilovers on any street legal GM vehicle, then have fun at Dakar
Hilarious
Sounds decent, but also sounds like there's something wrong with it.
I almost had one of those for a 1st vehicle but ended up with a 4runner, and I've been driving Toyota ever since
>>14128549
very nice
'92 Jeep Cherokee Laredo
>204k miles
>4.0L Inline 6 cylinder HO
rear door doesn't open from the outside and there is a small exhaust manifold leak once warmed up
$2500
Checking this out tomorrow, what do you guys think? It looks pretty clean for the year, sucks it's automatic, is the exhaust leak much to worry about? I don't have a garage or the tools to fix it myself (just moved), how much do you think a shop will charge me?
There is an auto auction coming up in February too, I may wait to see what they've got
>>14133209
depending on where the leak is, you can get exhaust patch tape, and just wrap the bitch and be done for a while.
>>14133227
No. That shit is useless, spend the money to have it welded
SHOULD I DO IT /o/ ????

why? you think the guy is hiding something?
My Z pisses in your SUV's intake, fuck off queer.
Go ahead and benchrace. I've owned more vehicles than you've seen years, and I was thoroughly underwhelmed by any SUV. The interior is 90s KIA tier too.
They are what got me interested in sports coupes again, but they are a letdown in reality. And I am a SUV fanboi. The 370z blew any SUV away in the feels dept, that's why I bought one instead.
The 370z has Jap class with muscle acceleration, and the handling characteristics you'd expect from a traditional two seat rwd coupe making 330+hp at the crank.
You fell for the meme, while people who actually like cars and driving chose any number of quicker sharp handling cars in the price range.
This is from the summer, snowing here now, but only pic of it after I got the fogs on. 1st gen 5-speed 4-door. At 198k now, and damn I can't wait for that 200 mile marker.
>>14130293
so does your sister have bad luck or is there something else? haha women
>>14134351
It looks poorly maintained which means expensive baselining when you get it. Best to spend more.
>>14134418
What gives it away?
>>14134097
>180,000 miles
>$4000
Fuck that.
Pretty nice OP, good deal considering it's got some nice A/T tires on it already and all. I know absolutely nothing about those trucks aside from hearsay. I do know that they are incredibly capable and look great.
My '96 4Runner. Undercoated in preparation for winter here in Indiana but I haven't bothered putting snow tires on yet, given the warm weather we've had so far.
>>14135672
>nice A/T tires on it already
Those a mud tires and they're almost done.
>>14135684
Point taken, I wasn't looking close enough attention. Still, bumper and winch on it already, that's like $1k atleast all on its own.
