I'm new to the board and know about as little as a man can about automobiles so please forgive me.
What the hell is a differential locker and what would I do with one?
About me...
I live in SoCal, but I like to spend as much time as work and family will allow in the Sierra Mountains. I'm looking for a used Land Cruiser for road trips/wife's primary car. A '00 100 series is in my price range, but I kinda like the looks of the 80 series better. My wife is fine with either. We currently have a Mercedes ML, but the lease is almost up and I will soon be giggling my way to the dealership to return this car.
My main goal is to get a capable/comfortable car that will work well in the snow and back country car camping/fishing etc... It also may be good to note that intend to keep this car until the wheels fall off so reliability is key.
What's a better deal? A '97 with low miles or a '00 with even lower miles? Keeping in mind longevity, reliability, etc.
Thanks!!
My past SUVs..
00 Merc. ML 320 (pretty mediocre)
98 Ford Expedition (worst car I've ever owned)
95 Chevy Tahoe Sport (my favorite SUV thus far, but my wife made me sell it because it only had two doors.. damn her. She kept muttering something about children...).
