Honest to God I wanted to use 4LO to drive through the brakes but I think that transfer case has never seen 4LO since it left the factory in 2003. It really didn't want to engage!
FJ cruiser or GTFO
Very few people actually do any remotely serious off-roading so I don't understand the mass appeal of Wranglers, FJ Cruisers, etc. I get wanting a big 4WD car but at least make it nice and comfy. Even that jacked up Lexus posted earlier - 99.9% of the time in it would be spent complaining about the tire noise, rather than actually off-roading. Hence why I want a GC Trailhawk lol

Yeah, no issues at all with folks that actually go off-roading. Unfortunately most Wranglers and the like are just mall crawlers and I don't get it. If you don't off-road, then it's all about imagine cause it sure ain't about comfort or speed.I actually do hard off road trails and the Xterra has the dented and scraped armor to prove it. I've gone out for as long as a week with no stops for fuel, no access to water of any kind (including natural sources), and having to carry out all my waste. I'm looking at a real off road build for a reason, and it isn't dick wagging at the mall.
I've driven a JKU. It's a terrible road vehicle - uncomfortable, loud, goes sideways over any road imperfection. Our WK2 is infinitely nicer to drive and yet it'll tackle 90% of what the JKU will (I didn't drive a Rubicon), or 100% of what I realistically might try to do with either one.I never driven a Wrangler/FJ but I can tell you that the Xterra, despite it's similar off roading capabilities is more comfortable than my friend's Durango.

I have friends who off-road H1s, H2s, H3s, Blazers, and S10s. No Tahoes or Escalades thoughBold is the man who uses a GM full-size SUV for off roading
And also Clarkson drove one in the last Grand Tour episodeAs Spectre said, cheap convertible. Hell, it may very well be the only car left with something resembling T-Tops. it's also sturdy, relatively inexpensive, distinctively styled, and compact if you go for the 2-door.
Combine the appeal of any convertible and the appeal of the mini and the appeal of an SUV and you're there. It's not that they don't have a cheap interior, poor ride, or relatively poor fuel economy, just that they make it so easy to ignore. That is partly the reason the wrangler has been a class of one for a while now. The FJ didn't do enough sales to justify getting a second gen. Nissan has gone full retard on their SUV lineup. Toyota still has the 4R and the various flavors of LC/LC Prado but they don't really offer that open top and virtually endless aftermarket that the wrangler does.

I see a lot of Tahoes and even Suburbans in the Overland groups. My last trip had more of them than any other make or model.I have friends who off-road H1s, H2s, H3s, Blazers, and S10s. No Tahoes or Escalades though
