    Looking for Jeep Mechanic Near SF

    Their warrantee on tires is also amazing! Any tire damage is replaced at no cost even trail damage. Haven't needed it yet but it keeps me coming back for tires.

    Yeah I am one of the very few lucky (sort of) people in the US with a 2H diesel Land Cruiser.

    Who does their own electrics?

    For me it depends... for the most part I am the only person that works on my rig. Its a 1988 diesel so there are little running electronics, but I have added a fair amount of accessories, lights, water pump, fans (cabin), second battery bank, etc.

    Tacoma v. Colorado ZR2 (Or the battle between Gas and Diesel)

    Personally I would take the gamble on the Diesel buy it new with warrantee to minimize risk of bad design. I am also sure the 2.8L diesel will also provide a greatly improved rage over the 3.6L v6.

    Which vehicle do you all recommend? 96/97 LC or 91/01 Jeep Cherokee?

    There is a lot of threads and forums about this topic, do really weigh input you would need to provide a lot more info. What is your use case, type of offroad, stock or modified what is important to you. Despite general shape both are vastly different in size, weight and mechanical. I love...
