Kinda out of the car market for a while....but that doesn't stop me from looking! I'm thinking about a white RRC or P38. Something nice enough to be a daily driver, but not too nice to offroad. Something I can build to offroad. I drove the P38 @ LRN. Not bad, but needs a 4.6 with that setup. No passing power on the interstate. It was pretty much what I'd want to do with a P38. Outside of the hood blackout and numberous stickers! I'd also probably go with a little less agressive tire. My 140,000 suburban broke down 1 too many times. That's our travel car. I traded it in on a new 2007 LTZ Suburban...white of course. It's sweet but I still want back in a LR.
We ended up getting an 05 Mini Cooper S to replace the Kalahari. The wife drives 100+ miles a day to and from work. I drive about 150 miles a week. Gas was $1.60 a gallon when we got the suburban and $3.00 a gallon when the tree claimed the Kalahari. As bad as I wanted too I just couldn't justify an extra $150+ a month for her to continue to drive the Suburban and me get a new LR. End result is she's driving the Mini and I'm driving a new suburban. Kinda bumbed out since the suburban was going to be paid off in the spring and I was getting a new used LR. Especially after just putting on an AC compressor, Brakes, Fuel Pump, and a couple of other ods and ends.
The Mini has become my project car for the time being. Works out nice since the wife is pretty much on the same page as me with the Mods. I've done Boot and Bonnet Stripes, smoke side reflectors and lenses, window and tail light tint, aero grill mod, driving lights...and the list goes on. Here is my/our new ride....
