Off road 4x4

[Dr. Jones]

Mine will be warm weather .. little to no snow. Worried about sand ..

Franklin is right...Jeeps are more warm weather vehicles, not the best in snowy conditions.

I disagree on the lift on the truck though, maybe a spacing kit (1-2" lift), but the actual lift doesn't do a lot because your differentials will still be in the same place. Your truck will look taller, but you still can't climb over too much more than you could before. I always laugh when I see some idiot with a huge lifted truck knock off his oil pan because he thinks he can climb things just cause he has 6" of space...that don't mean nothing.

Obviously you don't go overboard & get taller tires that add more clearance. Lifts also help out with bolders and things on the sides--it's not all about the center. Play in the wheels is important if you don't want to bend the hell out of everything.

Doing this is flat out ugly to go along with the uselessness of the lift:

My mom owns two of those (the four door version.)

 

[Dr. Jones]

I thought about the 4-door .. but I wasn't sure about the turning radius and the wider axle (clearance). Also, I don't want to spend too much because I'm going to beat the living **** out of it.

^^^ won't buy that because I'd feel bad about destroying it.

I approve heartily.

One of the pricier ones, but also one of the best off road-capable vehicles on the market right now, coupled with comfortabilty, and reliability. A Wrangler Rubicon won't seat six, and Range Rovers or Ford trucks won't be as reliable.

I respect the hell out of you, Dal, but this is exactly what I would expect out of a teenage skinny jean hipster.

snicker, laugh, etc ..

This is what I grew up with and it was able to pull anything that I threw on the back of it. it certainly holds 6+. I only got stuck a few times.









































This is my half-hearted attempt at a joke.

I've got a Wrangler- Sahara with a 4 inch lift. I love it. I took it up elephant hill road last year in Canyonlands... you get addicted to off-roading fast.

BTW Rubicon is the best stock Wrangler you can get. However, if you're looking at something that can seat a lot of people you can get a GMC Suburban. It normally comes with 4 wheel drive and it's very comfortable, and it will do the job towing. I'd imagine you can find one for cheap right now too.

But just so I'm clear... Wrangler>Suburban. I don't even think it's close.
