I go out 4 wheeling with 3 wranglers, and apart from being noisy on the inside, having no room for gear, and being a jeep, they are unstoppable in the bush ......quite impressive as a bush machine, but I am not sure if I could live with one as a daily driver
GU PATROL 2011 Ti, with goodies...
I had a TJ Wrangler... and if I didn't build a GQ/GU race wagon, I would build a TJ. The TJ has the most modifications available of any vehicle on the planet.

Never owned a Jeep, BUT my daughter did. Biggest piece of crap I ever saw, my Subaru and XTrail would out perform it.
But each to their own, some people I know even own a Toymoto (sad but true).

I took a couple of jeep wranglers for a drive before I ended up in a paj. Extremely vague steering and I didn't like the brake pedal that was half way up your leg. Felt like I was driving a boat on the road.
Plus my wife said it was a teenage girls car and I looked like a sad middle aged guy that was trying too hard. ?
jeeps come with a light under the bonnet..... need i say more
if its worth doin its worth over doin
The yanks love modifying Jeeps to extremes.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.
Apart from the JK
I like the JK's, not to heavy, great weight distribution, great approach and departure angles.. petrols go like stink with a supercharger and so many bolt on upgrades..
If Jeep bring out their Maximum Performance JK (and last time i spoke with the guys in the U.S its looking more and more likely), Ill buy one. Dana 60's, F&R Electric Lockers, 37's - maybe on beadlocks, 4.88 gearing, 4" lift and 70:1 crawl ratio.. Id just drive around looking for police cars.. 'No Officer its not engineered'
I reckon (and i know this is sacrilege) if you got a 4 Door JK and a GU, fitted any BOLT ON accessory you could find to each one..JK would leave the GU behind in regards to off road capability.
Would it be as comfortable, carry/tow as much..not a hope and it probably would have some strange electrical trouble be fore too long..but its a Jeep Thing
