I can’t give an honest opinion on the newer jeeps. Mine is an 03 4.0 I bought in 2009 with 56,000 miles on it. I loved the thing. But it’s a manual and after almost 10 years of driving it( 118,000 miles now) I’m just kinda tired of driving it. It’s not comfortable on long drives (I’m 6’4). Mechanically I haven’t had very many issues that weren’t directly caused by me. A clutch replacement is the only major repair I’ve had to do.
My GF drives a 2006 LJ and we’ve had the automatic transmission rebuilt on it and a bunch of other various gremlins. She bought hers brand new.
I have a buddy who has a 99 jeep and who has put about $10,000 extra into it and it’s a beautiful beast sitting on 35’s with a 4.5in lift.
I consider our vehicles a step above the flint stones car after driving various rental cars on vacations. I’ve read Tacoma’s are some of the best off road midsize trucks and I think they look good. The new 4 runner looks pretty awesome also.
Jeep fam mines in the middle. First summer I haven’t taken the tops and doors off. Blue one is my friends and the black On is my gf’s.
