From TJ to Disco?
Hey all!
Well I found this site to help me make an informed decision in my next wheeling vehicle. I've had a TJ (Wrangler) for a while, but I sold it to buy a Jeep Patriot for the commute. However, I miss my TJ terribly. After looking on the local Cragslist (Las Vegas) for a new 4X4, I stumbled across an '01 Disco II. Ive always had a thing for Land Rovers and thought this might be a good place to get some answers.
As far as "out of the box" capability, which model is best for climbing and trails? Ive seen the discos and ranger rovers, as well as the "out of my league" defender, but I also see that they have a new model, the freelander.
Second question: Which will take the least amount of money to upgrade. Im not talking about a complete suspension overhaul, but which one with the most basic upgrades (lift and such) will cost the least. Ive seen some discos go for around 4k-6k with a little less then 80K miles. I would like to stay in the lower spectrum of that range when it comes to purchasing a vehicle, but am willing to pay more for the upgrades.
I know this is a very vauge and general question, but I still have a good amount of reading in front of me to get aquainted with these fine rides.
Again thanks in advance all!
