I will continue to research.  I like the idea of a 00, 01, or 02 Disco II.  I need to find out some more information as far as the best place to purchase parts and aftermarket gear, ie roof-rack, parts, grille guard, parts, did I mention parts.   I am telling myself, go with the Ford Ranger, its more economical......but, I say, to hell with economical. I want to drive something with balls! (in reply to Spike555) Post #: 12

In my opinion I would look in the range of the 99, 00 Discovery. Those years you have the in-cab CDL. For off road use this is a very handy feature. I have this on my 95 and my Classic. For service ability, as I have found my 95 Disco is a little easier for me to work on, and I'm more inclined to take the 95 or my classic out to do real off roading and climbing around in the mountains just due to the CDL. _____________________________ Jeff jliechti61@cableone.net 01 Disco 2 SE 60K 95 Disco SE 7 115K 88 RR Classic Former RV Manufacturer Service Manager (in reply to Camdisco24) Post #: 13

RE: Range Rover vs Discovery ...in your opinion - 3/1/2008 6:50:40 PM    Mark G   Posts: 282 Joined: 9/15/2007 Status: offline My 98 Disco only gets about 15 mpg average, mostly hwy. That's about typical for vehicles in its weight class. To me, that's pretty thirsty for a daily driver. Therefore I only drive mine as a casual vehicle, not for work. That's the main down side, but if it's within your budget, you're in good shape. _____________________________ Mark G 1998 Disco, 135k mi. (in reply to JayhawkinIdaho) Post #: 14

I got tired of them and switched to a Disco I. My Disco I blows away my last 96 Exploder in character, ride quality, every aspect etc. The only thing the Exploder could take that the Disco I doesn't is mild to harsh neglect. Stay on top of the maintenance or repairs will get very expensive. Both my Exploders (and most fords I've owned) did have weak transmissions though which doesn't seem to be a problem with my disco I. _____________________________ 95 5spd Disco I, 126K miles 2003 Acura CL-S 6spd Nick (in reply to Camdisco24) Post #: 15
