I know, but some have M30s installed, which would be ideal... And, with the Bav being one of my favorite cars of all time, I'm very okay with sticking to carbs. It just won't be a mountain car... I'm very open to something new. As I said, I enjoy my car, but I'm looking around at the same time.

Didn't have a diesel but I really miss my Scout II.

You should just get another one already.

Yeah, but Bav carbs are worse. Much worse.

I can see page #5 from here. . . so . . .

You guys get the 80 series cruisers up your way?

I would rock this with a fresh satin red respray and some JC whitney seat covers.

Done and done.

The IX Touring I had was a monster in the snow!!!
With a set of Blizzaks that thing would push snow over the front of the car, it was totally badass!!!
Just watch getting snow in the intake as I did once, stalled it out. Got out, cleaned out the AFM and off I went.

If not an IX, you can't beat the Subbies, they rock in the snow as well.
All others will kill you on MPG's....

Totally forgot about the Ramcharger. Those things are pretty BA.

I had a '95 Bronco with the 351. Nice truck but mileage was horrible. Granted I have a heavy foot but 13 highway was the best I could get out it.

My '96 f150 got close to 20, but it had a 302 and MT.

Mine was an auto, the hardtop, motorized window and rear seat probably add a few hundred pounds too.

If you"re having trouble in that tractor with doors you've got now, I have to think you're doing it wrong. However this immediately sprung to mind when I thought of you in a 4X4... Seeing you in that wig at FF07 has really done you a disservice.

For example, all of them have M30s installed from the factory.

My 86 W460 Mercedes G Wagen didn't care about what terrain it was on, It went over.

This is in no way a recommendation for a mountain vehicle, but the Subie video reminds me of the BEST $25 I ever spent.

At age 15, a friend and I split the $50 cost of an AMC Gremlin that was at the local junkyard but still running. For $50, they delivered to my friend's house. We drove that little POS through the woods and fields for a couple of weeks, making like Bo and Luke Duke, smashing into trees and over any obstacle Mother Nature put in our way. Eventually Craig (or maybe his older brother?) took out the oil pan on a stump and the engine seized. The junkyard came and picked it up for free.

I can't believe we didn't crack our skulls open. What the hell was a seatbelt or a helmet back then?

Yup yup.

(BTW, the power steering bracket took a dump on me the other morning. Lasted about 7000 miles though )

My deuce was pretty good in the mountains and in the snow with 10 Micheline XL tires on the ground. I took it wheelin' a few times and it did very well for being 13,000#. It was a workout, though. No power steering.

The NDTs that most of them have suck and they can have trouble with side-slopes. Butt puckering at times.

I am waiting with baited breath for plow-able snow. I want to see how my 4 wheel drive Ranger goes in snow. It does pissah in sand. Rangers are very affordable .

So.... an '84?

Yeah. I wasn't sure what year they started making them. I think the '85s had solid axles too, though.

Yeah, '85s had them too. 1985 is THE MY year to 4runner to have. Last year for the solid front axle, first year for the EFI, fixed the too soft rear leaf springs, other little issues too. My dad has his sitting in the backyard with a bad head gasket. Tons of axle parts sitting in the garage too.

GRAND WAGONEER!!!!

And went over the interstate at 50mph tops.

Wait, your '71 Volvo 142s isn't cool anymore? You want something a little more obscure?

Not the right price range, but you'd be the life of the party.

I own a pinzgauer and I can tell you its no winter vehicle.

80s AMC Eagle. The Subaru wagon before the Subaru wagon. Jeep drivetrain combined with higher clearance stance to create the original crossover, even inline-6 powered! On the phone now but there's a neat youtube video with one that has lockers on both axles otherwise stock looking and doing crazy stuff.

So how is a Bavaria going to be more conducive to winter driving any more than the Volvo?

Answer: it won't.

Honestly Blake, with everything going on... just get a damn normal more modern FI vehicle, and if mountains and snow are issues, get a 90's SIlverado. They are very reliable, pretty comfortable, and can tackle just about anything you would normally encounter as a student in CO without throwing it off a cliff.

Maybe not, but you could spin the tires in snow twice as fast.
