Thread: So... I think I've had enough

Thanks to everyone who has commented so far, there is a lot of great info hear to absorb.

To elaborate a little on what I intend to do with the truck, I'd mainly like to go off road. Camping in hard to reach places (not that there a many in the North Island of NZ), and overland trekking. Not so much mud bogging and rock jumping.
I haven't really had the opportunity of doing so as my D1 was stolen just after I'd started to prepare it for off road and my p38 was a lemon from when I first purchased it.
I'm not worried about little minor issues that are relatively easy to repair, what I don't want is to have to replace the engine every year or every 5000ks as I've done so far.
I am a big fan of how simple the D2s seem compared to a P38 and understand the the 4.0 and 3.9 engines are less prone to liner slippage that the 4.6s are.

Am I correct in thinking that the D2 share a similar drive line to the P38s? Are the stud pasterns and PCDs the same?

Thank you to all again.
