If you couldn't get a Jeep Wrangler...?

[TroyBoy]

Well if I couldn't buy a JLU then I suppose a second hand JKU, CJ7, or a 72 Bronco. Anything else and I may as well take the bus.

Edit: Crap, I have a boat to pull. Perhaps an XTerra or a 4Runner

If you couldn't get a Jeep Wrangler, what would your second choice for a vehicle be?

The bus. Jokes aside, wouldn't have gotten in to 4x4s hadn't it been for the Wrangler. So it would have been a Mercedes convertible like an E class cabriolet and if I can stretch, a S class cabriolet.

My lease will be up on my Camaro in a few months.

If the JL Rubicon configuration I want isn't available by then, I'll likely end up leasing a Charger (Daytona 392) or Challenger (RT Scat Pack) for 3 years and then purchasing the Wrangler after that leasing term is up.

I'd probably end up with a 4Runner or a Tacoma. Or a Power Wagon, though a PW wouldn't fit all the place I like/want to go. Or maybe a late model 100 Series Land Cruiser if I was buying used.

I already have that covered....

FJ40 Restomod

2007 FJ Cruiser

1972 Suzuki LJ20 (most fun you can have at 42MPH max)

2014 JKUR (Now SOLD)

ZR2, without a doubt. That said, it isn't even close to the JL. It is a very distant 2nd. Neat truck, though.

RAM 1500 4x4 5.7 HEMI SPORT, 3.92 axles. AEV's Recruit Package (4 in lift, steel bumpers, winch, heat reduction hood, off road lights, custom skidplates) with Air Ram intake. We sell these at my dealership and I've had moments of insanity where I almost bought it. Best riding Lifted trucks ever.

Oh, that's easy. If I couldn't get a Wrangler I'd "settle" for a Mercedes G wagon (as if!!!).

What $160K when you can't afford $50K???

No........my budget restrictions might find me in a Subaru Crosstrek--I so do like the wheels on this model...and I could get it fully loaded for a relative song compared to the Wrangler

....only nothing compares to the Wrangler. Which is why they cost what the day, and what makes this an interesting thread...

I'd keep my 2006 4Runner Sport v8. It's a great, cheap, SUV that can be modded for overland really well. (Pic is not mine).

Well. I bought a 17' 300 AWD. Currently at 29000 miles. I will be trading that and paying the difference in cash for a JLU Sport S soft top at some point next year.

That's exactly what I drive. 2006 black Sport. V8. AWD. Awesome vehicle.

Any mods on yours?

No she's stock besides the a new receiver head and the hydrocarbon filter's been removed.

Taco, 4runner, or Frontier pro4x. We had a 2016 LR4 and while it was nice, very awkward to engage the paddle shifters and the rear seat was actually not that comfortable. We only had t offroad a few times, and it peformed flawlessly. The LR4 had a beautiful leather smell , ahhhhhh. I fear the Defender is too expensive and the Discovery looks like a Saab.

 

[Boatbuilder88]

I'd wait for the new Ranger Raptor.
