Re: WHO CAN AFFORD A JEEP ?
as a former Jeep owner that doesn't surprise me one bit.
heres a thread http://www.ausjeepoffroad.com/forum/...t=82194&page=2 from a year ago about jeep quoting $44k for a new engine.
and some of the diesel owners find it cheaper to source engine parts from Mercedes than go through Jeep dealers...
But they are great 4wds.[size=2][color=#00BF40][b]2003 120 GXL V6 auto[/b]. GME TX3440 and AE4703, Mickey Thompson ATZ 4 rib LT265/70R17 plus roadies, Ausguard cargo barrier, BD bash plate, OME lift with Sport shocks. And hopefully more to come, slowly slowly...[/color][/size] -

Yes, that's right. Next to Landrovers, they make the closest thing to an agricultural tractor that you can buy.Originally posted by WBY 1Dave

Re: WHO CAN AFFORD A JEEP ?
Do you really think the prado engine is going to be much different??Originally posted by WBY 1
At 9k for a set of injectors the whole engine would have to be 30k + for a new one
And I just got mine fixed at the panel beaters, 2 side steps and a rear bumper and a few scratches 7.5k bill to the insurance company
Unfortunately they are all expensive to repair :cry:December 2007 Prado GXL diesel, Option Pack with traction control, rear airconditioning and curtain airbags. Lovells Springs and Bilstiens shocks, snorkel, front recovery points,

If that is the case, you need to get affordable jeep parts. I saw the stocks at carstuff and I think you might like them. Maybe, you might get interested in jeep accessories too.Comment
