Hey everybody, after a couple years of great trips I've decided to put the van up for sale. Here's the ad, located in Portland Oregon - http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/5819655587.html

Thanks Dake21 I can't find where Outdoor Auto 4x4 sells their lifts, looks like there site has shut down outdoorauto4x4.com. Any idea if they're still in business? Do you mind explaining the advantage (and justification in cost) of Ironman vs Rocky Road lift?

Do you mind sharing where you heard this? I'd like to get a list of options for body lifts for the 2006+ Grand Vitara, which may be helpful to anybody planning a similar build: Rocky Road: 2.125" Lift. $249 – Consists of steel over the top style strut spacers, steel rear spacers, camber...

Hey I saw that one on CL the other day, it was definitely the best deal I'd seen in town. You'll be a few months ahead of me on the project, good luck!

Has anyone seen a third generation (2006+) with a manual transmission in the US? I really can't stomach the body style of the 1998-2005.

Just wanted to share this image with you. I don't know anything about the build, or even where the image originally came from, but I thought it looked pretty sweet. Good luck!

lol.. Can you tell me what your real world MPG is in your 2001 3.5XS?

Thanks for the continued replies guys. I’ll respond to them individually Honestly the price was my main issue here. The cheapest non fwd Rav4 (2005+) on craigslist in my area is $7500 AND it has 167k miles on it. I really can’t afford them, but for somebody with more cash, definitely an...

Yeah they're definitely affordable and capable trucks. The milage though, that's what get's me - https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2005_Jeep_Grand_Cherokee.shtml The v6 is guess wouldn't be much worse than a Montero Sport, but that was already on the lower end of the fuel efficiency...

I guess gas milage would be the main reason, apparently the Sport gets 18/22 mpg. I was shooting for +17mpg average and keeping that is pretty important to me.

My threshold for parts availability is: If Autozone and similar nationwide auto parts store can't get the parts, then that's too much of a hassle for me. I did some research into the Suzuki Sx4, I called 4-5 big auto parts chains and asked for a set of common parts - thermostat, water pump...

I did look into the Liberty CRD, the cheapest one on Craiglist anywhere in the northwest is $8000. So, out of my price range. That mileage sounds pretty awesome though, I can see why they’re worth so much. Wow, I had no idea! I must have looked up the milage on a different Montero. 18/22mpg...

A little bit of quick research is telling me it doesn't really meet my requirements. For starters, no transfer case, no 4w low. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's a FWD system until slip is detected, the torque (up to 100%) can be sent to back wheels. With the "4x4 on" setting engaged "the rear...

A couple links for other doing the same research: Here's a pretty cool table made for ranking Moab trails, all of the vehicles listed I've done some research into http://www.expeditionswest.com/resources/expedition_handbook/vehicle_rating.htm Similar ExPo threads...
