My h2's done with

[HummerHippy]

Well that sux. Sorry your H2 didn't last. I dont have first hand experience, but I thought Land Rovers had reliability issues as well. How about a Land Cruiser. I've always thought they were pretty good all around SUVs especially if you're not wheeling a lot.

Good luck. Maybe you need an H3

Well guys as it stands now i may be droping a used motor into the h2 and keeping it a bit longer, financialy that would be the best thing for me to do, If i would do that id have no note and insurance is paid until october on it. Could start rethinking from there, im not sure what broke on it but for 3k i can get a used motor put in, im just kinda iffy about it breaking something else, maybe ill put the stock tires on. After a long night of thinking it out and reading what you guys are saying i decided to stay away from the LR3, if i were to just take the money and buy a lightly used car i would want a h3, fj, or a taco.

Good. Now go cancel your order for the 55 gallon drum of KY.

Yes would be a nice project, but its my only transportation would be different if i had multiple cars, Only 21 so i havent got that far in life to have projects of that extent. Im not getting a rover i will probably be ending up in a FJ, I thought long and hard about the h3 vs fj and for the money i think i will be better off in a fj.

I take it you didn't read my post? The H3 is far superior, from capability to comfort to overall quality.

Man that was a close one. Hope every thing goes smooth with the new motor. Diesel is a damn good project i agree with that but time consuming and money consuming .

[DuckTruck]

Dude...7K for a new motor......that is crazy. Ever heard of a rebuild?

DUCK

Get a complete engine from an auto recycling center. They take the cars apart properly and will sell you everything you need. You could get a complete 6.0L for less than 2 grand (complete with computer) and spend the other 5 grand on installation, aftermarket parts or gas!
