Make sure you're in your Z when you drive it off the cliff :icon17:
Look, not everyone likes shitty little cars that break when you look at them funny, I'm sorry I hurt your feelings.

Now, what kind of Jeep/Chrysler did you have, exactly?

What jeeps have you driven? I have yet to drive one, but 0-60 in under 7 seconds is pretty good for an SUV type I think, and it was pretty flat looking in a decent sweeper.

4runner or land cruiser!

4-runner is definitely a consideration.

Make sure you get the V8. The 6 is underwhelming. Other than that, great vehicle.

They only came in V6 after 2008, didn't they?

yeah if you want a newer year you'd have to go with a lexus since those have v8 but the price tag jumps up quite a bit

I would imagine they were probably the base powertrain/suspension models with the V6's?

I really need to drive one, as all I have are "paper numbers".

nobody has mentioned jeep wrangler, are those not very popular for some reason?

Good point.

I had an Xterra and LOVED it. Wrangler is more fun, but a horrifically overpriced and poorly built turd on wheels; if you rock crawl it is near unbeatable. I'd take an Xterra over a Jeep GC. Get an off road model and you get a rear locker and kick *** stereo.

This is my current SUV choice:

I'm not hurt at all.
My shitty little car has yet to break down.

I'm of no help to you. I just smelled trollage and thought I'd play along.
You already know what you want, what you like and what you don't like. Why are you asking us? :confused:

I love my 92 blazer... It starts in -40° weather... heats up nice.. and drives well.. :tup:
