Legendary
I have a 2005 Di 3 ltr with full NADS. Over 250xxxk on the clock no worries so far. My thoughts are that if/when it blows put in a rebuilt motor or rebuild this one - whatever it takes. Cost say $6000 to $10,000, as compared to your difference, 3 ltr at $16000 to a 4.2 at $30,000. So if the rest of the car is OK and you can repair/replace a motor if it blows for 6 to 10K, you are still 5k ish better off. I am 67 years old and the car has done 250000k in 9 years. If it were to blow tomorrow and I put a new motr in and got at least 5 years out of it, I would be 72 years old and probably not doing as much travelling (by 4x4) anyway.
Also, your choice is based between 2 used vehicles. be aware that 4.2s can blow up as well and replacing that motor could be a mission as good ones are expensive because of their rarety.
2005 GU IV ST 3.0. Snorkel. Roof rack. Awning. Spots. Welded I/C. Dual batteries & VSR. UHF. Barn door hinge extension. Roof top spot lights. Rear drawers. 2" lift. NADS. EGT and boost gauges. Trans temp and water temp gauges. Provent 200 catch can. Rear ladder
And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.
